HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Graviola (Soursop) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection
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: graviola powder, also known as soursop. Graviola is a tropical fruit traditionally used in herbal medicine, though its exact mechanism in the body isn't fully established.
There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for graviola isn't established in our data. It's been studied for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, headache, insect repellent properties, and male infertility, but we don't have reliable evidence to rate how well it works for any of these uses.
If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk to your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Graviola raises some safety flags. Regular use may not be safe—the most common side effects people report are stomach pain and nausea.
More serious but rare effects include movement disorders and nerve damage (myeloneuropathy) that can resemble Parkinson disease. Lab studies also raise concerns about possible nerve toxicity with long-term use.
One clinical study found that people taking 300 mg of graviola leaf extract daily reported nausea and burning stomach pain. Graviola is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided while breastfeeding due to limited safety information.
If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, skip this product and talk with your doctor.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, check with your pharmacist if you're on carbamazepine (Tegretol), a seizure medication—graviola may reduce how well it works. We haven't documented interactions with other medications in our data, so run any prescriptions through the checker below to be sure.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Graviola powder may be worth considering if you're exploring traditional remedies, but the evidence for effectiveness isn't clear, and safety data are limited. If you take carbamazepine for seizures, you need to check with your pharmacist before starting—this powder could weaken the medication.
Anyone concerned about long-term nerve health or experiencing regular stomach upset should be cautious. Talk to your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Graviola (Soursop) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interacts with at least one medication we've documented.
The main concern is carbamazepine (Tegretol), a seizure medication. Graviola may lower how much carbamazepine your body absorbs—a rat study showed it cut the drug's levels by about 35 to 46 percent.
If your seizure control depends on steady carbamazepine levels, that's a real problem.
