HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lobelia 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.

Lobelia Powder is a single-ingredient product: lobelia powder. That's it — no inactive fillers or binders are listed.

Lobelia is a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine, though it carries real safety concerns at higher doses.

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 Lobelia product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lobelia'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 we hold shows that lobelia is possibly ineffective for smoking cessation. That means the data doesn't support its use for that purpose, though research in this area may be limited.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lobelia

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.

Lobelia can be toxic, and the safety data advises caution. Even doses as low as 50 mg have caused nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation in people who took it orally.

At doses of 600 mg or higher, lobelia leaf can trigger serious toxicity: sweating, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), seizures, dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia), dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension), coma, and death. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because of toxicity concerns and insufficient safety information.

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 — Lobelia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • 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 lithium, check with your pharmacist before starting. Lobelia's diuretic properties may increase lithium levels in your body, potentially requiring a dose adjustment.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lobelia carries real toxicity risks, even at relatively low doses, and the evidence doesn't support its use for smoking cessation. If you take lithium, it's especially important to talk with your pharmacist before using this product.

Anyone considering lobelia should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist first — the safety profile is narrow, and the benefits are unproven.
