HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Juniper Berry 450 mg 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
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 a single active ingredient: juniper berry at 450 mg per capsule. Juniper is a plant extract with a long history in herbal medicine.

The capsules also contain gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Juniper product and its label doesn't state a use — see Juniper'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 juniper berry isn't established for the uses on file here. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for GERD, rheumatoid arthritis, urinary tract infections, wound healing, kidney stones, and bronchitis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means rigorous studies haven't yet proven whether it does.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Juniper

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.

Juniper berry is generally well tolerated when you take it short-term in low doses, though a thorough safety review hasn't been completed. The main caution is that medicinal doses may irritate your kidneys and shouldn't be used long-term.

Topically, it can cause skin irritation, allergies, or in rare cases burn-like blistering — especially if you're in the sun. Inhaling juniper pollen repeatedly can trigger respiratory allergies.

Do not use this product during pregnancy — it's traditionally avoided because it may affect the uterus. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 162 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.

Check your medications before starting if you take antidiabetes drugs like insulin or metformin (risk of low blood sugar — Moderate); water pills / diuretics; or lithium. No other major interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

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.

Juniper berry might interest you if you're exploring herbal options, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't yet solid. If you take antidiabetes drugs, diuretics, or lithium, check with us first — these interactions matter.

Avoid it in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and don't use it long-term because of kidney concerns.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Juniper Berry 450 mg has a known interaction with 162 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Juniper Berry 450 mg 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 blood sugar medication?
Not without checking first. Juniper berry can lower blood sugar on its own, so combined with diabetes drugs it might drop your level too far. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about whether it's safe for you and whether you'd need to monitor your blood sugar differently.
Is juniper berry safe to use long-term?
The safety data advises against long-term use. Medicinal doses may irritate your kidneys, so this is best used short-term only. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, talk to your pharmacist first.
Can I use juniper berry during pregnancy?
No. The safety data advises against it because juniper may affect the uterus. Do not use this product if you're pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
What is juniper berry used for?
Traditionally, juniper has been used for GERD, rheumatoid arthritis, urinary tract infections, wound healing, kidney stones, and bronchitis. However, the evidence to prove it works for any of these isn't yet established in our data.
Does juniper berry cause side effects?
When taken by mouth short-term in low doses, it's generally well tolerated. Topically, it can cause skin irritation or allergies. Breathing in juniper pollen repeatedly can trigger respiratory allergies. A rare case involved severe blistering from skin contact, especially with sun exposure.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information, so it's best avoided while breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
