HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lemon Peel 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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 a single active ingredient: lemon peel extract, concentrated at a 4:1 ratio (meaning four parts of raw lemon peel are reduced to one part extract). The capsule also holds gelatin and water as inactive ingredients to hold the extract in form.

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 Lemon product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lemon'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 lemon peel extract isn't established in our data. It's been studied for hay fever, anxiety, respiratory tract infections, high blood pressure, and kidney stones, but the research to date is insufficient to rate how well it works for any of these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, that's a conversation worth having with your doctor or pharmacist about what the science actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lemon

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.

Lemon as a food or drink is well tolerated in everyday amounts. However, concentrated supplements or essential oils of lemon haven't been well studied, so your doctor should approve them before you take larger medicinal doses.

In clinical trials, fresh lemon juice taken in larger amounts (60 mL twice daily) caused gastrointestinal upset in about a third of participants—mainly heartburn and upper stomach discomfort (epigastralgia)—compared with much lower rates in the placebo group. No safety data is on file for lemon peel extract during pregnancy or lactation, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lemon.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 1 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.

If you take itraconazole (Sporanox), a Minor interaction is documented: lemon peel extract may raise the drug's levels in your body. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Lemon peel extract is generally well tolerated when taken in food amounts, but larger medicinal doses haven't been thoroughly tested. The main side effect to watch for is stomach upset and heartburn.

If you take itraconazole (an antifungal) or any other regular medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this supplement—especially since lemon's acidity can affect how some drugs are absorbed.

Lemon Peel Extract1 drug type · 1 drug

Itraconazole (Sporanox)

Theoretically, taking itraconazole capsules or tablets with a beverage containing lemon might increase the levels and clinical effects of itraconazole.
In one case report, dissolving itraconazole tablets in a small amount of specific beverages containing lemon prior to administration increased the level of itraconazole in a lung transplant patient. In this case, the increased bioavailability was desirable and was likely due to improved tablet dissolution in the acidic beverage.

Lemon Peel 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Lemon Peel 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lemon Peel 450 mg 4:1 Extract has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lemon Peel 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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 supplement upset my stomach?
It may. In studies of fresh lemon juice at higher doses, roughly one in five participants developed heartburn and a smaller number had upper stomach discomfort, compared with much lower rates on placebo. The extract form hasn't been tested at scale, so your individual experience may differ.
Does lemon peel extract actually work for hay fever or anxiety?
The research we hold is insufficient to say either way. It's been studied for both conditions, but the evidence isn't clear enough to rate whether it works. Talk with your doctor about options with stronger evidence if you're looking to treat those conditions.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before starting it during pregnancy or while nursing.
What exactly is a 4:1 extract?
It means four pounds of raw lemon peel are concentrated down to one pound of extract, so you get a more concentrated dose than you would from fresh peel alone.
Are there any fillers in this capsule?
The active ingredient is the lemon peel extract. The capsule itself is made of gelatin and water to hold it together—those are standard capsule materials, not fillers added to stretch the product.
