HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Melilot 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: melilotus herb extract (dry), also known as sweet clover. Sweet clover is a traditional herbal remedy used for various circulatory and pain conditions.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin and water.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Sweet Clover's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: circulation and vein health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), Hemorrhoids, Bruises, varicose veins, edema, leg swelling.
  • The closest evidence on file: Sweet Clover is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Sweet Clover is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hemorrhoids, Bruises.

The evidence on sweet clover for its traditional uses—chronic venous insufficiency (the buildup of fluid and problems with blood return in the legs), diabetic nerve pain, hemorrhoids, and postoperative pain—is insufficient to rate. We don't hold established data showing it works for these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Clover

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.

Sweet clover is generally used in small amounts, but its coumarin content affects how your blood clots and how your liver works, so use it cautiously. Avoid it during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety information available.

Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best avoided then too. In rare cases, headache has been reported.

Large amounts can cause transient liver injury in susceptible people, and a case of bleeding disorder was reported after prolonged use of a multi-herb tea containing sweet clover and other coumarin-rich herbs, though it's unclear whether sweet clover alone was responsible.

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 — Sweet Clover.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 481 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, double-check this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, dabigatran, aspirin, clopidogrel, and others)—sweet clover may increase bleeding risk. Also flag any medications known to affect the liver.

Altogether, these interactions span 464 individual medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, or medications that stress your liver, check with your pharmacist before trying this product. Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should avoid it.

For everyone else, the main caution is using it in small amounts and watching for unusual bleeding or signs of liver trouble.

Melilotus Herb Extract, Dry2 drug types · 480 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, fresh sweet clover might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Fresh sweet clover contains coumarinic acids, which are converted to free coumarins during drying. Dicoumarol, which has anticoagulant activity, also has been found in some sweet clover preparations and can be formed if fresh sweet clover is allowed to spoil.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of sweet clover with hepatoxic drugs might increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.
Orally, large amounts of sweet clover can cause transient liver injury in susceptible individuals, possibly due to coumarin content. In one case report, a patient with multiple sclerosis developed jaundiced palms and a slight elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) after taking sweet clover containing coumarin 10 mg daily for 3 years. Two weeks after starting therapy with subcutaneous interferon (IFN)-beta 1b, aspartate transaminase (AST) and ALT levels increased to 7 and 17 times the upper limit of normal, respectively. Levels normalized after discontinuation of both products. Subsequent use of IFN-beta 1a alone, without sweet clover, resulted in only a very slight increase in AST.

Melilot Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Melilot Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Melilot Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 480 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Melilot 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 on a blood thinner like warfarin?
No—talk to your pharmacist or doctor first. Sweet clover contains compounds that can act like a blood thinner themselves, so adding this product to warfarin or other anticoagulant drugs raises your risk of bleeding.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
No. There isn't enough safety information available, so it's best avoided during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best avoided. Check with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice if you're nursing.
What does sweet clover do?
It's traditionally used for circulatory issues like chronic venous insufficiency, diabetic nerve pain, hemorrhoids, and postoperative pain. However, we don't hold established evidence showing it works for these purposes.
What's the main safety concern with this product?
Sweet clover's coumarin content can affect bleeding and liver function. Large amounts can cause liver injury in susceptible people, and rare cases of bleeding disorder have been reported with prolonged use. Use it in small amounts and watch for any signs of unusual bleeding or liver problems.
