HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fenugreek and Thyme by TerraVita

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Fenugreek & Thyme Glycerite Liquid Extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (0.13 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid contains 2 active ingredients: fenugreek glycerite liquid extract and thyme glycerite liquid extract. Both are plant-based concentrates mixed into a glycerin base (an inert sweetener and preservative).

Fenugreek seed has been studied for sexual function, menstrual cramps, and blood sugar control. Thyme is traditionally used for cough and respiratory comfort, though the research backing these uses is limited or hasn't been formally rated.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sexual dysfunction — rated "Possibly Effective" (Fenugreek) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Diabetes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Fenugreek) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Sexual arousal — rated "Possibly Effective" (Fenugreek) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Dysmenorrhea — rated "Possibly Effective" (Fenugreek) (Natural Medicines).

Fenugreek is rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction and dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and possibly effective for helping manage diabetes. Thyme's effectiveness for bronchitis, common cold, aging skin, and hair loss hasn't been established in the data we hold—the evidence is either too limited or hasn't been reliably rated.

If you're considering this product for one of these conditions, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Fenugreek Thyme

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Fenugreek is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but supplement doses can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Rarely, severe allergic reactions including bronchospasm and anaphylaxis have occurred.

Thyme is well tolerated when used as food or in tea, though some people report allergic reactions, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, or heartburn. Topically, both can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritation.

Fenugreek during pregnancy may affect the baby's body odor and is rated likely unsafe for medicinal use. Fenugreek is possibly safe for breast milk production, but discuss it with your provider first.

Thyme is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation in normal food amounts, but medicinal doses lack adequate safety data.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Fenugreek, Thyme.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 644 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin), diabetes medications, theophylline, blood pressure drugs like metoprolol, seizure medications like phenytoin, sildenafil (Viagra), estrogen or hormone replacement therapy, or anticholinergic or cholinergic medications. Moderate interactions are documented for all of these.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be right for you if you're interested in fenugreek's possibly effective uses (sexual function, menstrual cramps, or diabetes support) and thyme for respiratory comfort, and you don't take medications that interact with either plant. If you're on blood thinners, diabetes drugs, heart or blood pressure medications, seizure drugs, or hormone therapy, check your specific medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—interactions are possible and could affect how your drugs work.

Pregnant women should avoid medicinal fenugreek; those breastfeeding should talk with their provider first.

Fenugreek & Thyme Glycerite Liquid Extract9 drug types · 389 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Some of the constituents in fenugreek have antiplatelet effects in animal and in vitro research. However, common fenugreek products might not contain sufficient concentrations of these constituents for clinical effects. A clinical study in patients with coronary artery disease or diabetes shows that taking fenugreek seed powder 2.5 grams twice daily for 3 months does not affect platelet aggregation, fibrinolytic activity, or fibrinogen levels .

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypoglycemic effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that fenugreek seed can reduce fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Clopidogrel (Plavix)

Theoretically, fenugreek seed might alter the clinical effects of clopidogrel by inhibiting its conversion to the active form.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 200 mg/kg daily for 14 days increases the maximum serum concentration of clopidogrel by 21%. It is unclear how this affects the pharmacokinetics of the active metabolite of clopidogrel; however, this study found that concomitant use of fenugreek seed and clopidogrel prolonged bleeding time by an additional 11%.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Metoprolol (Toprol)

Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypotensive effects when used with metoprolol.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 300 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 9% and 11%, respectively, when administered alone, and by 15% and 22%, respectively, when given with metoprolol 10 mg/kg.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Theoretically, fenugreek might decrease plasma levels of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week decreases maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of phenytoin by 44% and 72%, respectively. This seems to be related to increased clearance. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sildenafil (Viagra)

Theoretically, concurrent use of sildenafil and fenugreek might reduce levels and therapeutic effects of sildenafil.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week reduces maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of sildenafil by 27% and 48%, respectively. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Theophylline

Theoretically, fenugreek may reduce the levels and clinical effects of theophylline.
Animal research shows that fenugreek 50 grams daily for 7 days reduces the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of theophylline by 28% and the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) by 22%.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects with warfarin and increase the international normalized ratio (INR).
Some fenugreek constituents have antiplatelet effects, although these might not be present in concentrations that are clinically significant. In one case report, a patient taking warfarin experienced an increased INR when starting to take fenugreek in combination with boldo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Fenugreek may also have an additive effect on blood pressure-lowering medications. Studies on animals have shown that fenugreek seed can decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by up to 22% when combined with metoprolol. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly if you are taking fenugreek and metoprolol together or any other antihypertensive drugs.

Fenugreek and Thyme by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Fenugreek and Thyme by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Fenugreek and Thyme has a known interaction with 644 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Fenugreek and Thyme contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is fenugreek safe to take while pregnant?
Medicinal fenugreek is rated likely unsafe during pregnancy because it may affect the uterus. If you're pregnant and considering this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I use this while breastfeeding?
Fenugreek is rated possibly safe for lactation and is often used to boost milk supply, but the evidence is limited. Thyme is rated likely safe in food amounts during breastfeeding. Either way, discuss it with your provider first to make sure it's right for your situation.
What are the most common side effects from fenugreek?
The most common side effects are abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, heartburn, and nausea. Most people tolerate it well, but these digestive effects can happen, especially at supplement doses.
Does this product actually work for sexual dysfunction?
Fenugreek is rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, meaning there's some research support but not enough to say it's proven. Talk with your doctor to see if it fits your situation.
What is this liquid extract made from?
It contains fenugreek and thyme extracts mixed into glycerin, which is a sweet, thick liquid that acts as a preservative. The glycerin itself is an inactive ingredient—the active parts are the fenugreek and thyme.
Can I take this with warfarin or other blood thinners?
Both fenugreek and thyme may have additive effects with blood thinners and could increase bleeding risk. Do not start this product without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first—they'll want to know your exact medication and may need to monitor you.
