HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Guava 4:1 Extract 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 6, 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 is a single-ingredient powder: guava extract in a 4:1 concentration, meaning the extract is made from four parts raw guava to one part finished extract. There are no inactive ingredients in this formulation—just the guava extract itself.

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 Guava product and its label doesn't state a use — see Guava'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.

The evidence for guava extract isn't established in our data. The product facts we hold rate its effectiveness for diarrhea, gingivitis, hypertension, and knee pain as insufficient—meaning the research so far isn't reliable enough to say whether it works for any of these uses.

If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Guava

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 1 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.

Guava fruit as food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated leaf extracts and supplements are less well studied. Taking guava extract by mouth may cause transient belly pain or nausea in some people.

Applied to skin, guava leaf extract can cause contact dermatitis (irritation), and there's a report of it worsening eczema (atopic dermatitis) in one person, whose symptoms improved after stopping use. The safety data advises caution with concentrated leaf supplements because they haven't been studied as thoroughly as the whole fruit.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Guava

Meds to double-check

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Guava.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

If you take any medication to lower blood sugar (antidiabetes drugs like metformin, glimepiride, insulin, or others), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. Guava extract may have additive blood-sugar-lowering effects, which could lead to low blood sugar if your medication dose isn't adjusted.

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.

This product is a single guava extract—useful if you're looking for a concentrated form of guava. If you take any blood sugar medication, clear this with your doctor or pharmacist first, since guava may lower glucose further.

For any other use, the evidence isn't clear enough yet to say whether it works. Talk it over with your healthcare provider before you start.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Animal research shows that guava leaf extract or guava fruit can have hypoglycemic effects. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Medication dose adjustments may be necessary. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Guava 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Guava 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Guava 4:1 Extract Powder has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Guava 4:1 Extract Powder 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 on a blood sugar medication?
Not without checking first. Guava extract can lower blood sugar on its own, so combining it with diabetes medications could push your glucose too low. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist—they may need to monitor your blood sugar more closely or adjust your dose.
What side effects should I watch for?
Taken by mouth, some people report belly pain or nausea. If you apply it to your skin, it can cause irritation or rash. There's also one report of it worsening eczema, so be cautious if you have sensitive skin or a skin condition.
Is this safe if I'm breastfeeding?
Guava fruit as food is likely safe during breastfeeding, but this is a concentrated extract. The data we hold rate it as likely safe for lactation, though concentrated leaf supplements haven't been studied as much as whole fruit. If you're unsure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
Does it really work for diarrhea or high blood pressure?
The evidence isn't established enough to say. We rate guava extract as having insufficient reliable evidence for diarrhea, high blood pressure, gingivitis, and knee pain—meaning the research so far doesn't reliably show it works for any of these.
Why is there no list of inactive ingredients?
This product contains only guava extract powder with no added fillers, binders, or other ingredients—it's just the extract itself.
