HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Guava 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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

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: guava extract (a 4:1 concentrate, meaning 450 mg of extract that represents 1,800 mg of raw guava material). The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water — the standard inactive ingredients that hold and deliver the extract.

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 list several potential uses — diarrhea, gingivitis, high blood pressure, and knee pain — but all are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to know whether it actually works for any of them.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies we have aren't strong enough to say either way.

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 a food is generally considered safe, but this product is a concentrated leaf extract — a different story. The facts note that leaf extracts and supplements aren't as well studied as the whole fruit.

Oral use may cause transient abdominal pain or nausea in some people. Topically, guava leaf extract can cause contact dermatitis and may worsen eczema or atopic dermatitis; one case report describes a teenager whose eczema flared after bathing in guava leaf tea and improved once he stopped.

If you have a skin condition, be aware of this risk.

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 antidiabetes drugs (like glimepiride, metformin, or insulin), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this guava extract. It may lower blood sugar further and increase the risk of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia), so you'll want to monitor your levels closely and possibly adjust your dose.

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.

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 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Guava 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Guava 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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 guava extract while breastfeeding?
Guava is rated likely safe during lactation in the data we have. That said, concentrated leaf extracts are less studied than the whole fruit as a food, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
What side effects might I experience?
Taken by mouth, some people report transient abdominal pain or nausea. If you apply it to your skin, it may cause contact dermatitis or worsen eczema. Stop and talk with your doctor if your skin reacts.
Does guava extract really work for diarrhea, high blood pressure, or gingivitis?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say. All of these uses are listed as having insufficient reliable evidence in the data we hold, so we can't confirm whether it actually helps with any of them.
Is this supplement safe compared to eating guava fruit?
Whole guava fruit as food is generally safe, but this is a concentrated extract made from leaves. Leaf extracts aren't as well studied, so the safety profile is less clear. The facts note it's best to be cautious with concentrated leaf supplements.
What's a 4:1 extract?
It means the extract is concentrated: 450 mg of this extract represents roughly 1,800 mg of raw guava material. You're getting a more potent dose than you would from eating the whole fruit.
