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.

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Jamaican dogwood, a plant extract in a 450 mg dose per capsule. The capsules also contain gelatin and water as inactive ingredients to hold and deliver the dose.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Jamaican Dogwood product and its label doesn't state a use — see Jamaican Dogwood's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't have effectiveness data in our records for Jamaican dogwood, so we can't tell you whether evidence supports its use for any particular purpose.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Jamaican dogwood carries some important safety flags. It can be toxic in higher doses, and human safety data is limited — we simply don't know enough about how safe it is at typical doses.

For that reason alone, it's not something to take casually. The safety data also advises against using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, due to traditional concerns about effects on the uterus and lack of safety information in either situation.

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Jamaican Dogwood.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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.

Check your medications if you take any CNS depressants — sedatives, sleep aids, benzodiazepines, opioids, or certain antidepressants. Jamaican dogwood can strengthen their sedative effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Jamaican dogwood is a single-herb supplement with limited human safety evidence and a known moderate interaction with sedating medications. If you take any CNS depressants or sleep aids, you'll want to check with your pharmacist before starting this product.

Given the toxicity caution and sparse safety data, this is one to discuss with your healthcare provider to decide if it's right for you.

Jamaican Dogwood 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Jamaican Dogwood 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Jamaican Dogwood 450 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Jamaican Dogwood 450 mg 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against Jamaican dogwood during pregnancy — it has traditionally been linked to effects on the uterus and hasn't been studied enough to be sure it's safe. Avoid it while breastfeeding as well, since we don't have safety information for that either. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it during these times.
Is this safe to take at the 450 mg dose in this product?
We don't have detailed human safety data for Jamaican dogwood, and it's known to be toxic in higher doses. That's a red flag — we just don't have enough evidence to say the dose in this capsule is clearly safe. This is definitely something to discuss with your pharmacist before you start.
What does Jamaican dogwood do?
We don't have effectiveness information in our data for this ingredient, so we can't tell you what evidence supports its use or whether it works for any particular purpose.
Will this make me drowsy if I take it with my sleep aid?
Possibly. Jamaican dogwood can strengthen the sedative effects of CNS depressants like sleep aids, which could make you much more drowsy, uncoordinated, or impaired. You'll want to check with your pharmacist before combining them.
Does this product have any fillers?
The capsules contain gelatin and water as inactive ingredients to deliver the dose. If you need to avoid gelatin — for instance, if you follow a vegan diet — this product isn't for you.
