HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Inflammation Control 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
Low disclosure
This powder contains two active ingredients: devil's claw and boldo. Devil's claw is traditionally used for joint and back pain.
Boldo is a plant extract historically used for digestive and gallbladder health, though the evidence for it is limited. The product contains no inactive fillers or other added ingredients — just the two botanicals themselves.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
For devil's claw, the data shows possibly effective evidence for back pain and osteoarthritis, meaning some research supports it but more evidence would strengthen the case. For atherosclerosis, there isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it works.
Boldo's effectiveness isn't well established in the data we hold — we have insufficient evidence for benign prostatic hyperplasia, gallbladder disease, kidney stones, and joint pain. That means the science hasn't yet backed up its traditional uses in a way we can point to with confidence.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both ingredients are generally well tolerated when used short-term in healthy adults, though devil's claw commonly causes digestive upset like diarrhea, indigestion, and allergic skin reactions. Rarely, gastrointestinal bleeding has been reported.
Boldo carries a more serious safety concern: its ascaridole content can harm your liver, and cases of elevated liver enzymes and jaundice have been documented. Boldo may also cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
During pregnancy, devil's claw is rated possibly unsafe because it may affect the uterus and its safety hasn't been established; boldo is also rated possibly unsafe and may stimulate the uterus. Neither ingredient has enough safety data to recommend use while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this powder, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of the following: blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin (increased bleeding risk from both ingredients); drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 systems (devil's claw may raise their levels); lithium (boldo may increase it to harmful levels); tacrolimus (boldo may lower it, risking transplant rejection); or any drugs that can damage the liver (boldo compounds that risk). Also check if you take acid-blocking medications like H2-blockers or proton pump inhibitors, where devil's claw may reduce their effectiveness.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may help with back pain or osteoarthritis based on devil's claw's evidence, but it comes with significant interaction risks — especially if you take blood thinners, liver-damaging drugs, lithium, or tacrolimus — and boldo carries real hepatotoxicity concerns. If you're on any prescription medications or have liver disease, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.

Inflammation Control Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita Premium Collection Inflammation Control Powder contains devil's claw and boldo, both of which interact with medications.
The most serious concern is boldo's potential to harm your liver (hepatotoxicity), especially when combined with other drugs that can damage the liver.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Devil's claw may theoretically increase levels of drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 enzyme systems — these are moderate-severity interactions affecting a broad range of medications. It also carries a moderate risk with blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin, where it might increase bleeding risk; one case report noted a patient on warfarin and devil's claw developed purple bruising (purpura) suggesting over-anticoagulation.
Minor interactions are possible with P-glycoprotein substrates and with acid-blocking medications (H2-blockers and proton pump inhibitors), where devil's claw may reduce their effectiveness by boosting stomach acid.
Boldo adds moderate-severity interactions with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (increased bleeding risk), lithium (where diuretic effects might raise lithium levels dangerously), and tacrolimus (an immunosuppressant where boldo may lower its levels and risk transplant rejection). Boldo can also interact with hepatotoxic drugs, compounding liver damage risk.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,049 individual medications. Run your exact prescriptions through the checker on this page before you start.

For each ingredient in Inflammation Control Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Devils Claw, Powder
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, devil's claw might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro research shows that devil's claw might inhibit CYP2C19, although this has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, devil's claw might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that devil's claw might inhibit CYP2C9, although this has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, devil's claw might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that devil's claw might inhibit CYP3A4, although this has not been reported in humans.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, Devil's claw might increase the activity of warfarin.
In one case report, purpura occurred in a patient taking warfarin and devil's claw concurrently. This might indicate over-anticoagulation. It is unclear if this was due to Devil's claw or other contributing factors.
H2-Blockers
Theoretically, devil's claw might decrease the effectiveness of H2-blockers.
Devil's claw has been reported to increase stomach acid, which might interfere with the effects of H2-blockers.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, devil's claw might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that devil's claw inhibits P-glycoprotein, which transports many drugs out of cells. This might increase intracellular levels of P-glycoprotein substrates, although it is unclear if this effect would be clinically important.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)
Theoretically, devil's claw might decrease the effectiveness of PPIs.
Devil's claw has been reported to increase stomach acid, which might interfere with the effects of PPIs.
Boldo, Powder
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, taking boldo with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
Animal and in vitro research shows that boldine, a constituent of boldo, has antiplatelet activity. In one case report, an adult taking a combination of boldo and fenugreek with warfarin experienced an increase in international normalized ratio (INR); however, it is unclear if this effect was due to boldo, fenugreek, the combination, or another factor.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, taking boldo with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of hepatic injury and disease.
Boldo leaf contains ascaridole, a known liver toxin. Many cases of hepatotoxicity, including elevated liver transaminase levels and jaundice, have been reported in patients taking boldo.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking boldo with lithium might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Boldo is believed to have diuretic effects. Theoretically, these diuretic effects might reduce the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Tacrolimus (Prograf)
Taking boldo with tacrolimus may decrease the levels and clinical effects of tacrolimus, potentially increasing the risk of transplant rejection.
In one case report, a patient with a long-term history of stable tacrolimus levels developed subtherapeutic levels after taking boldo 300 mg twice daily orally for several weeks. Tacrolimus levels returned to normal after discontinuing boldo. However, the mechanism of this interaction is unclear.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
A combination of boldo and fenugreek was thought to be associated with an increased international normalized ratio (INR) in a female on warfarin. It is not clear if boldo, fenugreek, or the combination played a role in this interaction. Therefore, boldo may have additive effects with warfarin.
