HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Leaf of God by Herbal Terra

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 has one active ingredient: Calea zacatechichi extract, a dried plant extract often called Leaf of God in traditional use. The liquid also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver it.

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 Calea Zacatechichi product and its label doesn't state a use — see Calea Zacatechichi'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 Leaf of God is not established. Our data rates its effectiveness as insufficient for headache, rheumatoid arthritis, insomnia, stress, and urticaria (a skin rash condition).

That means there isn't reliable research showing it works for these uses — it doesn't mean it definitely doesn't work, just that the science isn't there yet to back it up.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Calea Zacatechichi

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.

Calea zacatechichi has a long history in folk medicine, but modern safety data is sparse. The main side effects observed in people are nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness.

Some people also report it tastes very bitter. One study in healthy volunteers showed it caused somnolence (sleepiness) and changes in sleep quality, including less deep sleep.

For pregnancy: there isn't enough reliable safety data, so it's best avoided during pregnancy. The same goes for breastfeeding — safety data isn't available, so it should be avoided while nursing.

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