HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lavender 4:1 Extract 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.

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: lavender extract in powder form, concentrated at a 4:1 ratio (meaning four parts of the plant are used to make one part extract). There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Relaxation, anxiety, stress and sleep support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Perioperative anxiety, Pre-procedural anxiety, Insomnia, Nervousness, Sleep quality — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lavender is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Pre-procedural anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lavender is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress, Perioperative anxiety.

Lavender extract shows some evidence for dysmenorrhea — period pain — and is rated possibly effective for that use. For cancer-related pain, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate lavender for hair loss (alopecia areata), anxiety before procedures, or cancer-related fatigue, meaning we don't yet have enough solid studies to say whether it works for those.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lavender

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.

Orally, lavender powder and extracts are generally well tolerated in food amounts and appear well tolerated in larger medicinal doses. The most common side effects reported are breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, belching, headache, and nausea — and these are mild.

Serious side effects are rare. However, the safety data for medicinal amounts isn't extensive, so you should only use it with your doctor's approval if you're pregnant, nursing, or have specific health concerns.

Essential lavender oil is toxic if swallowed, and skin contact can irritate some people — but this product is a powder extract, not the essential oil.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lavender

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 — Lavender.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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.

Before you take this lavender powder, double-check any CNS depressants — sedatives, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medications, and similar drugs that slow brain activity. A moderate interaction is documented, meaning lavender could boost both the intended calming effect and side effects like drowsiness.

Your own doctor or pharmacist can review your specific medications and advise whether it's safe to combine them.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lavender extract powder may help with period pain, though evidence for other uses is unclear or insufficient. It pairs cautiously with CNS depressants like sleep aids and anti-anxiety medications — the combination could make drowsiness stronger.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine, especially if you take any sedating medications or have safety questions about your individual situation.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, lavender might potentiate the therapeutic effects and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Laboratory research suggests that lavender has sedative effects. However, clinical studies in patients taking oral lavender oil (Silexan) 160 mg for 10 weeks or taking lavender flower powder 1 gram daily for 2 months have not reported side effects of drowsiness, sedation, or sleepiness. There is still some concern that higher doses or different preparations of lavender might have additive effects with CNS depressant medications.

Lavender 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Lavender 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lavender 4:1 Extract Powder has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lavender 4:1 Extract Powder 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.
Will this help my period pain?
Lavender extract is rated possibly effective for dysmenorrhea — period pain — based on available evidence. That means some studies suggest it may help, but the evidence isn't ironclad. Whether it'll work for you is individual, so talk with your doctor about whether to try it.
What are the most common side effects?
When taken orally, the most frequent mild side effects reported are breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, belching, headache, and nausea. Serious side effects are rare.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data on medicinal amounts of lavender in pregnancy and lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or nursing — they can advise what's right for your situation.
Is this the same as lavender essential oil?
No. This is a powder extract, not essential oil. Lavender essential oil is toxic if swallowed and can irritate skin. This extract form is taken by mouth and is generally well tolerated in reasonable amounts.
Will this help with anxiety before a medical procedure?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to say whether lavender works for pre-procedural anxiety. Your doctor can discuss other options that have clearer evidence if you're looking for help with procedure-related worry.
