HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Full Spectrum Damiana 510 mg by Swanson
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
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: damiana leaf extract at 510 mg per capsule. Damiana is a traditional herb used in folk medicine for various purposes.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin with a rice extract blend as an inactive filler.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that damiana works for sexual dysfunction, asthma, headache, cognitive function, constipation, or depression — all six uses we checked show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. If you're considering this product for any of those reasons, the data don't yet support its use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Damiana is likely fine in the small amounts found in food or tea for most adults, but human safety data are limited. At very high doses — research involved 200 grams of extract — damiana has caused serious symptoms resembling tetanus or strychnine poisoning.
The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take any antidiabetes medication (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, GLP-1 agonists, or others), check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Damiana may lower blood glucose, raising the risk of low blood sugar.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a single-ingredient damiana supplement with no clear evidence it works for the conditions it's often marketed for. The main concern is with blood sugar medications.
If you take any diabetes drug, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this — they can help you decide if it's right for you and monitor your blood sugar if you go ahead.
