HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Marjoram Leaf Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita

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 leaf glycerite liquid extract. The extract is suspended in glycerin and vanilla flavor, which are inactive ingredients used as a base and for taste.

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 doesn't establish that marjoram works for asthma, Parkinson disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or dysmenorrhea. Effectiveness ratings for all four conditions are listed as insufficient reliable evidence.

If you're thinking about using this for one of those purposes, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the evidence actually supports.

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 and essential oils have limited safety data in humans. At medicinal doses, it should be avoided in pregnancy because we don't have enough safety information.

Food amounts are likely fine, but medicinal or concentrated doses aren't established as safe for breastfeeding either. Some people have reported allergic skin reactions, including contact dermatitis in children with eczema and perioral dermatitis (a skin rash around the mouth) in an adult who ate marjoram-seasoned food.

The rash resolved within three weeks once marjoram was removed from the diet.

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 start, check if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, clopidogrel, or enoxaparin (Moderate risk of increased bleeding). Also double-check anticholinergic drugs and cholinergic drugs—marjoram may reduce their effectiveness or boost their side effects at medicinal doses.

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 blood thinners, anticholinergic drugs, or cholinergic drugs, check with your pharmacist before using this product. It's fine as a food seasoning, but medicinal amounts have limited safety data and should be avoided in pregnancy.

Most people tolerate small amounts well, but skin reactions are possible.

Marjoram Leaf Glycerite Liquid Extract3 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 Leaf Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Marjoram Leaf Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Marjoram Leaf Vanilla Flavor 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 Leaf Vanilla Flavor 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 while pregnant?
No—medicinal amounts should be avoided in pregnancy. Food amounts are likely fine, but concentrated extracts and essential oils lack safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
Does marjoram really work for PCOS or irregular periods?
The evidence we have doesn't establish that it does. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence for both polycystic ovary syndrome and dysmenorrhea, so we can't say whether it helps.
What's a glycerite extract?
It's an herbal extract made by soaking the plant material in glycerin (a sweet liquid) instead of alcohol. In this product, it's the active form of the marjoram.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Most people tolerate it well, but some have reported skin reactions—contact dermatitis in people with eczema and a rash around the mouth in one person. If you have pre-existing skin conditions, use cautiously.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
The safety data we hold doesn't cover breastfeeding. Food amounts are likely fine, but medicinal doses aren't established as safe. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
