HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Marigold (Calendula) 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 a single active ingredient: marigold powder, also known as calendula. That's it—there are no other active ingredients, and no inactive fillers or binders are listed.

Does it work?

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 Calendula product and its label doesn't state a use — see Calendula'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 on marigold (calendula) doesn't establish that it works for any of the conditions it's commonly used for. For acne, bacterial vaginosis, burns, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver disease, and radiation dermatitis, we don't have reliable evidence one way or the other.

If you're considering this powder for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about whether it makes sense for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

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.

Calendula is generally well tolerated on the skin, but allergic reactions are possible—especially if you're sensitive to plants in the ragweed family (chrysanthemums, daisies, and other related herbs). Orally or topically applied, it can trigger eczematous allergic reactions (an itchy, inflamed skin response).

Patch testing with calendula is recommended before you use it to check for sensitivity, particularly if you have a known ragweed allergy. If you're pregnant, the safety data advises against taking calendula by mouth—the evidence suggests it's likely unsafe.

For breastfeeding, reliable safety information is lacking. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether oral use is right for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Calendula

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 — Calendula.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 248 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 CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications), check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product—theoretically it might enhance their drowsy effects, though this is considered unlikely. We've found no documented interactions with other medication types for this ingredient, but that's not a guarantee none exist.

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.

Marigold powder has been used topically and orally for decades and has only a minor theoretical interaction with CNS depressants. However, we don't have solid evidence it works for the conditions it's often marketed for, and allergic reactions—especially in people sensitive to ragweed-family plants—are a real concern.

If you're pregnant, skip it by mouth. Before you start, check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist, particularly if you take sleep aids or anxiety medications.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, calendula might have additive effects when used with CNS depressants, although this appears to be unlikely.
Although some animal research has suggested that a saponoside constituent in calendula may have sedative effects, calendula has been used for over 30 years without reports of sedation in humans.

Does Marigold (Calendula) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Marigold (Calendula) Powder has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Marigold (Calendula) 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.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant?
No—the safety data advises against taking calendula by mouth during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
Could this cause an allergic reaction?
Yes, it can, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, or other plants in that family. Orally, allergic reactions are possible; topically, it can cause eczematous reactions (an inflamed, itchy rash). A patch test before use is recommended to check your sensitivity.
Is calendula safe to take by mouth?
Reliable safety information for oral use is limited, so it's best to avoid taking it by mouth unless your doctor approves it for you specifically.
Does this powder actually work for acne, burns, or other skin problems?
We don't have reliable evidence that calendula works for acne, burns, radiation dermatitis, or the other conditions it's commonly used for. The evidence simply isn't established in our data.
Can I use this if I take sleep medication?
There's a minor theoretical interaction—calendula might add to the drowsy effects of sedatives and other CNS depressants—though it's considered unlikely based on 30 years of human use without reports of sedation. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining it with any sleep aid or anxiety medication.
