HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kidney Complex 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
Low disclosure
Kidney Complex contains 4 ingredients: three active herbs in a proprietary blend — horsetail, corn silk, and Java tea — plus kidney bean. We cannot tell you the exact amount of each herb because they're combined in a blend.
The inactive ingredients are gelatin and water.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for horsetail, corn silk, and Java tea in this product is insufficient for us to rate how well they work. Horsetail's effectiveness for urinary incontinence, obesity, tonsillitis, and hair loss hasn't been reliably proven in the data we hold.
Corn silk hasn't been reliably shown to help angina, heart disease, heart failure, depression, diabetes, or fatigue. Java tea hasn't been reliably shown to lower blood pressure or treat urinary tract infections.
No effectiveness ratings are on file for kidney bean.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Horsetail is used short-term by healthy adults, but long-term use carries real risks. The most common side effects are abdominal bloating, more frequent bowel movements, and nausea.
Crude horsetail contains a substance that can cause thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency with prolonged use — though Canadian Equisetum arvense products are required to be certified free of this. One case report linked horsetail exposure during pregnancy to thiamine deficiency.
Corn silk is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though adverse effects can include low potassium and low sodium; topically, it may cause skin irritation or hives. Java tea is generally considered well tolerated short-term, but human safety data are limited.
Horsetail and corn silk carry insufficient safety data and should be avoided during pregnancy. Horsetail should be avoided while breastfeeding; corn silk is possibly safe while breastfeeding, but Java tea should be avoided — not enough data.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning either.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take: HIV medications (antiretroviral drugs like NRTIs and efavirenz), blood pressure medicines (antihypertensive drugs), blood thinners like warfarin, antidiabetes drugs, diuretics (water pills), corticosteroids, or lithium. Horsetail, corn silk, and Java tea all have documented moderate-severity interactions with one or more of these.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product combines three herbs with interactions to several common medication types — most seriously to HIV drugs, blood pressure medicines, blood thinners, and lithium. If you take any of those or other prescriptions, check them against the search tool below before starting.
Otherwise, consider this a short-term support product only — long-term safety isn't established. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you decide if it's right for you.

Kidney Complex 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
TerraVita Premium Collection Kidney Complex 450 mg interacts with medications through its horsetail, corn silk, and Java tea content.
The most serious documented interaction involves horsetail with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and efavirenz — antiretroviral drugs used for HIV — where horsetail may lower their levels and allow viral loads to become detectable again.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Horsetail also interacts with antidiabetes drugs (increasing low blood sugar risk), diuretics (raising the risk of low potassium), and lithium (potentially raising lithium levels and side effects). Corn silk interacts with antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medicines — risk of too-low blood pressure), corticosteroids (risk of low potassium), antidiabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar), diuretics (risk of low sodium or potassium), and warfarin (a blood thinner — vitamin K in corn silk can interfere).
Java tea interacts with antihypertensive drugs and lithium through similar mechanisms — blood pressure lowering and potential lithium buildup.
We could not check kidney bean for interactions; we hold no data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 317 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Kidney Complex 450 mg 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.
Corn Silk
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking corn silk with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research in diabetic mice shows that taking corn silk extract lowers fasting blood glucose levels.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Taking corn silk extract with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Clinical research in both hypertensive and normotensive adults shows that taking corn silk extract lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Corticosteroids
Taking corn silk with corticosteroids might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Clinical research shows that taking corn silk extract increases the urinary excretion of potassium.
Diuretic Drugs
Taking corn silk with diuretic drugs might increase the risk of adverse effects such as hyponatremia and hypokalemia.
Clinical research shows that taking corn silk extract increases urine volume and promotes the urinary excretion of sodium and potassium. Some patients may require electrolyte supplementation.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, suddenly stopping, starting, or changing corn silk treatment may alter the effects of warfarin.
Corn silk contains vitamin K. Individuals taking warfarin should consume a consistent daily amount of corn silk to maintain consistent anticoagulation.
Horsetail
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking horsetail with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Equisetum myriochaetum has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity in clinical research. In an animal diabetic model, Equisetum giganteum had hypoglycemic effects. It is unclear whether other horsetail species have hypoglycemic effects.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, taking horsetail with diuretic drugs might increase potassium loss and the risk of hypokalemia.
Laboratory research shows that various species of horsetail have diuretic properties. Due to its diuretic effects, there has been concern that taking horsetail along with potassium-depleting diuretics might increase the risk for hypokalemia. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that taking horsetail 900 mg daily for 4 days does not affect urinary excretion of electrolytes, including potassium and sodium, despite having a diuretic effect similar to taking hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily. It is unclear if taking horsetail for a longer duration would affect electrolyte levels. Until more is known, use with caution.
Efavirenz (Sustiva)
Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of efavirenz.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral regimen that included efavirenz. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing horsetail, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of this interaction is unknown. It is also unclear if this interaction is specific to efavirenz or if it is related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.
Lithium
Theoretically, horsetail might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that horsetail has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, horsetail might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (Nrtis)
Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of NRTIs.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral therapy. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing the supplement, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of these interactions is unknown. It is also unclear if these interactions are specific to NRTIs or if they are related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.
Java Tea
Antihypertensive Drugs
Some preliminary clinical evidence suggests that Java tea has antihypertensive effects. Further, animal research suggests that Java tea has diuretic properties. Theoretically, taking Java tea with other antihypertensive drugs might increase the effects and risk for hypotension with these drugs.
Lithium
Animal research suggests that Java tea has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these effects, Java tea might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
