HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Marjoram Alcohol Free 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 product contains one active ingredient: marjoram berry extract in a concentrated, dry form. It also holds glycerin and water as inactive ingredients — these are there to deliver the extract and keep it stable.

Because this is an alcohol-free liquid, glycerin replaces alcohol as the carrier, which may matter if you avoid alcohol for health, religious, or personal reasons.

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 Marjoram product and its label doesn't state a use — see Marjoram'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 marjoram doesn't establish that it works for any of the conditions it's sometimes used for — asthma, Parkinson disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and painful periods (dysmenorrhea) all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That means human trials are either missing or too small to draw solid conclusions, so we can't say whether this product will help.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Marjoram

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.

Marjoram is generally well tolerated as a food seasoning, but concentrated extracts like this one have limited human safety data. In trials, allergic skin reactions (contact dermatitis) have been observed in a small number of children with pre-existing atopic eczema who used essential oils including sweet marjoram for extended periods.

One case report describes a woman whose skin condition around the mouth (perioral dermatitis) flared up after eating marjoram-seasoned food and improved after stopping marjoram. For pregnancy, the safety data is not established — medicinal or concentrated amounts should be avoided.

Food amounts are likely fine, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing, since we don't have enough safety information yet.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Marjoram

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 — Marjoram.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 338 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.

Before you take this product, check if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel), anticholinergic medications, or cholinergic drugs (like donepezil). Medicinal amounts of marjoram can affect how these work or raise bleeding risk.

Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact drugs.

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.

This product is worth considering if you're looking to try marjoram for a specific reason and don't take blood thinners or drugs affecting your nervous system. If you do take anticoagulants, antiplatelets, anticholinergics, or cholinergic medications, check with us or your pharmacist before starting.

Pregnant or nursing? Talk with your doctor first, since medicinal doses aren't established as safe.

Marjoram Berry Extract, Dry3 drug types · 338 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with anticholinergic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of marjoram or the anticholinergic agent.
Some anticholinergic drugs include atropine, benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), procyclidine (Kemadrin), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, marjoram might increase the risk of bleeding when used in medicinal amounts along with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cholinergic Drugs

In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with cholinergic drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects.
Cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).

Marjoram Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Marjoram Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Marjoram Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 338 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Marjoram Alcohol Free 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 take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
For pregnancy, medicinal or concentrated amounts of marjoram should be avoided — the safety data isn't established. Food amounts are likely fine, but this is a concentrated extract, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist first. For breastfeeding, we don't have enough safety information on file yet, so again, check with them before using.
Does marjoram actually work for asthma, PCOS, or painful periods?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does. For asthma, Parkinson disease, PCOS, and dysmenorrhea (painful periods), the research is either missing or too small to draw solid conclusions. If you're thinking about using it for one of these reasons, have that conversation with your doctor.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate marjoram as a food well. In trials, a small number of children with pre-existing atopic eczema (a sensitive skin condition) developed allergic skin reactions to essential oils including sweet marjoram when used over time. One case also reported skin irritation around the mouth after eating marjoram-seasoned food.
Why is this alcohol-free, and does that matter to me?
This formula uses glycerin instead of alcohol as the carrier. If you avoid alcohol for health, religious, or personal reasons, alcohol-free herbal products like this one let you use them without conflict.
Is this product safe to use with my medications?
It depends on what you take. If you're on blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, anticholinergic medications, or cholinergic drugs, marjoram in medicinal amounts could interact. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions.
