HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kidney Complex 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
Kidney Complex Powder contains four active ingredients. Horsetail, corn silk, kidney bean, and Java tea are all powdered botanicals traditionally used for kidney and urinary health.
The product contains no inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence supporting these ingredients is sparse. Horsetail is listed as having insufficient reliable evidence for urinary incontinence, obesity, tonsillitis, and male-pattern hair loss.
Corn silk similarly lacks established evidence for angina, heart disease, heart failure, depression, diabetes, and fatigue. Java tea is insufficiently researched for high blood pressure and urinary tract infections.
We hold no effectiveness data for kidney bean powder. None of these ingredients have proven benefits in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Horsetail is generally well tolerated short-term in healthy adults but carries real risks with long-term use. The most common side effects are belly bloating, loose stools, and nausea.
Crude horsetail contains thiaminase, which can cause thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency with prolonged use — though Canadian products must be certified free from this. Horsetail is not safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Corn silk is generally well tolerated short-term, though human safety data are limited. Prolonged use may cause low potassium or low sodium.
It's best avoided in pregnancy; while breastfeeding, safety is unknown so approval from your doctor or pharmacist is needed. Java tea is generally well tolerated short-term but should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data.
We could not find adverse effect data for kidney bean powder in our files.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Kidney Complex Powder, double-check the following medication types with your pharmacist: antidiabetes drugs, antihypertensive (blood pressure) drugs, diuretics (water pills), lithium, corticosteroids, warfarin (Coumadin), and HIV medications including NRTIs and efavirenz (Sustiva). All of these interactions are Moderate severity.
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 is designed for kidney and urinary health, but the evidence supporting its ingredients isn't established in our data. More importantly, if you take diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs, diuretics, lithium, HIV medications, or blood thinners, you need to check your exact medications before starting.
Talk to your pharmacist about whether this powder is right for you, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any regular medications.

Kidney Complex Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Kidney Complex Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection contains four ingredients, three of which we've checked for drug interactions.
The most serious concern is with horsetail and antidiabetes drugs — there's a theoretical risk that horsetail could lower your blood sugar too much when combined with diabetes medications, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Horsetail also interacts with diuretic drugs (water pills), which could increase potassium loss and raise the risk of low potassium (hypokalemia). It may also affect lithium levels and could theoretically reduce how well certain HIV medications (NRTIs and efavirenz) work in your body.
Corn silk brings additional interactions: it may lower blood pressure further if you're already on blood pressure medications, increase potassium loss with diuretics or corticosteroids, lower blood sugar when combined with diabetes drugs, and affect how warfarin (a blood thinner) works. Java tea similarly may lower blood pressure further with antihypertensive drugs and could affect lithium levels.
We could not check kidney bean powder for interactions. Altogether, these interactions span 313 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Kidney Complex 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.
Corn Silk, Powder
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, Powder
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, Powder
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.
