HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mandarin Fruit 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: mandarin powder. That's it — there are no other active ingredients or fillers listed.

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 Tangerine product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tangerine'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 rates mandarin for cancer prevention as insufficient to establish effectiveness. We have no data on other uses for this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tangerine

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.

Mandarin fruit as food is generally well tolerated with very few reported side effects. However, a complete safety review has not been done, and the facts note that concentrated extracts and essential oils carry more caution and should be used only under medical advice.

Topically, mandarin essential oil has been linked to contact dermatitis (skin irritation) in isolated reports. This product is a powder, not an essential oil or concentrated extract, which is a meaningful difference.

The safety data on this product during pregnancy and lactation is not on file. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tangerine

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 — Tangerine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 644 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 midazolam (Versed) or other medications metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme system in your liver, check with your pharmacist before adding this product. The interaction is Minor in severity, but it's worth confirming your specific drugs aren't affected.

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.

Mandarin Fruit Powder is a single-ingredient product made from the whole fruit. If you don't take midazolam or CYP3A4-metabolized drugs, the documented interaction risk is low.

Mandarin, Powder2 drug types · 643 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

In vitro, tangeretin, a constituent of tangerine, induces a 52% increase in the metabolism of midazolam by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). This suggests that tangeretin may stimulate CYP3A4 activity. However, in humans, drinking tangerine juice 200 mL slightly delayed the absorption, but did not affect the metabolism, of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate. Theoretically, tangerine juice might increase CYP3A4 activity and decrease levels of drugs metabolized by this enzyme. However, this effect is unlikely.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include amitriptyline (Elavil), amiodarone (Cordarone), citalopram (Celexa), felodipine (Plendil), lansoprazole (Prevacid), ondansetron (Zofran), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), sertraline (Zoloft), sibutramine (Meridia), and many others.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Midazolam (Versed)

In vitro, tangeretin, a constituent of tangerine, appears to increase the metabolism of midazolam in human liver microsomes by up to 52%. However, in humans, drinking tangerine juice 200 mL slightly delayed the absorption, but did not affect the metabolism, of midazolam. Theoretically, tangerine juice might increase the metabolism and reduce the effects of midazolam. However, this effect is unlikely.

Mandarin Fruit Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Mandarin Fruit Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mandarin Fruit Powder has a known interaction with 643 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mandarin Fruit 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.
Is this safe to take with my blood pressure or cholesterol medication?
Many blood pressure and cholesterol drugs are processed through the same CYP3A4 enzyme system in your liver that mandarin may affect. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications, or ask your pharmacist — they can look them up in seconds.
Will this work for cancer prevention?
The evidence we hold is insufficient to say whether mandarin powder prevents or treats cancer. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the data isn't established yet.
Are there fillers or other junk in this powder?
No inactive ingredients are listed. It's mandarin powder, nothing else.
Is the powdered form safer than mandarin essential oil?
Yes — this is fruit powder, not a concentrated extract or essential oil. The caution about concentrated extracts and oils doesn't apply here. The powder itself is well tolerated as food.
Can I take this while pregnant?
The safety data during pregnancy isn't on file. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's right for you personally.
