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: motherwort glycerite liquid extract. Motherwort is an herb traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin (a preservative and sweetener) and vanilla flavor.

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 Motherwort's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: motherwort herbal extract.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Arrhythmia, Dysmenorrhea, Insomnia, Menopausal symptoms, heart palpitations — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Motherwort is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Motherwort is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Arrhythmia, Insomnia, Menopausal symptoms, Dysmenorrhea.

The evidence on motherwort is mixed and often limited. Bleeding appears possibly effective based on available data.

For anxiety, alcohol use disorder, amenorrhea (missed periods), and asthma, we don't have reliable evidence to rate whether it works. If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist—they can help you weigh what's known and what's not.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Motherwort

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.

Motherwort appears to be generally well tolerated when taken by mouth in typical amounts. The most common side effects are diarrhea and stomach irritation.

Topical contact with the leaves or oil can cause skin irritation (contact dermatitis) and sun sensitivity. Taking more than 3 grams by mouth has been reported to trigger uterine bleeding.

The safety data we have are limited, especially for long-term use. Because motherwort is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, it should be avoided during pregnancy.

There isn't enough information to say whether it's safe during breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing or planning to.

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 — Motherwort.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take CNS depressants—sedatives, sleep aids, benzodiazepines, opioid pain relievers, or any other medication that makes you drowsy. Motherwort may add to that effect.

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.

Motherwort may be worth considering if you're interested in herbal support and you're not pregnant and don't take CNS depressants (sedatives, pain relievers, or sleep aids). Because human safety data are limited and the evidence for most uses is thin, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting—especially if you take any medications or are nursing.

Motherwort Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Motherwort Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Motherwort Vanilla Flavor 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?
Motherwort 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 take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Motherwort should be avoided during pregnancy because it's traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus. There isn't enough safety data on breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing or plan to.
What are the side effects?
When taken by mouth, diarrhea and stomach upset are most common. Touching the leaves or oil on your skin can cause irritation or sun sensitivity. Taking large amounts (over 3 grams) has been linked to uterine bleeding.
Does this actually work for anxiety?
The evidence for motherwort in anxiety isn't solid enough to rate. If anxiety is your concern, your doctor or pharmacist can talk through what's backed by research and what might help you specifically.
What is motherwort used for?
Motherwort is an herb traditionally used in herbal medicine. The only use with possibly effective evidence in our data is bleeding. For other purposes like anxiety or menstrual issues, the evidence is either limited or not yet established.
Is this safe to take long-term?
We don't have enough human safety data to say for certain. The data we do have suggest it's generally tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety isn't well studied. If you're thinking of taking it regularly, discuss that with your doctor or pharmacist.
