HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lovage 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 liquid contains one active ingredient: Lovage Leaf Extract, Dry. The product also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients that help deliver the extract.

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 Lovage product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lovage'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 for lovage doesn't establish that it works for any condition we can report on. For diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage related to diabetes), the data rates as insufficient reliable evidence.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lovage

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.

Food amounts of lovage are generally well tolerated, but this is a concentrated extract, and the safety data for concentrated forms is limited. Long-term oral use may increase your risk of phototoxic reactions — essentially, sun sensitivity — so you'd want to avoid excessive sun or UV light exposure while using it.

One case of contact dermatitis was reported when undiluted lovage oil was applied to skin. The safety data advises against lovage in pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and menstrual flow.

There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lovage

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 — Lovage.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 75 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 any diuretic or water pill — including furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), chlorothiazide, or others — double-check with the search tool on this page or ask your pharmacist before you start.

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.

If you take a diuretic, check with us or your pharmacist before starting this product — the interaction could reduce how well your water pill works. The evidence doesn't establish what this extract does for any condition.

Long-term use may increase sun sensitivity, so sun protection is worth considering.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lovage has a known interaction with 75 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lovage 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.
Is this safe to use while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pregnancy: The safety data advises against it, because lovage may stimulate the uterus and menstrual flow. Breastfeeding: There isn't enough data to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Will this make me sun-sensitive?
Long-term oral use of lovage may increase your risk of phototoxic reactions — basically, sun sensitivity — so avoid excessive sun or UV light exposure while using it.
What's the difference between food amounts and this extract?
Food amounts of lovage are generally well tolerated, but this is a concentrated extract with limited safety data, so it's not the same risk profile.
