HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mulberry Leaf 450 mg 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 one active ingredient: black mulberry leaf at 450 mg per capsule. Mulberry has been used traditionally in herbal medicine, though its effectiveness for modern health goals is not yet well established.

The capsule itself is made with gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Black Mulberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Black Mulberry'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 support a clear rating for mulberry leaf. For diabetes, menopausal symptoms, and mouth sores (oral mucositis), the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

Lab studies hint that mulberry leaf might affect blood sugar, but that's not the same as proven benefit for treating diabetes. Talk with your doctor if you're considering it for any of these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Mulberry

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.

Black mulberry leaf extracts seem to be generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though a thorough safety review hasn't been done. The big caveat: the fruit itself is safe to eat as food, but concentrated supplement doses — like what's in this capsule — are less studied.

The main side effect reported with topical contact is contact dermatitis (skin irritation) in people sensitive to the plant. There isn't enough data to know whether this product is safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 — Black Mulberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 87 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.

Check your medications if you take antidiabetes drugs (such as metformin, glipizide, or insulin) — mulberry leaf may lower blood sugar too far. Also check if you take midazolam (Versed).

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, black mulberry leaf might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
One small clinical study shows that black mulberry leaf extract has hypoglycemic effects. This is supported by in vitro research which also suggests that constituents in black mulberry twigs and leaves might have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Midazolam (Versed)

Theoretically, black mulberry might inhibit the metabolism of midazolam.
In vitro research shows that black mulberry juice can inhibit midazolam 1'-hydroxylation, a reaction that is catalyzed by cytochrome P450 3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Mulberry Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Mulberry Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mulberry Leaf 450 mg has a known interaction with 87 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mulberry Leaf 450 mg 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.
Does mulberry leaf actually help with blood sugar or diabetes?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say for sure. Lab research hints it might affect blood sugar, and one small study suggested it could lower blood sugar, but that's not proof it works for diabetes. Talk with your doctor before using it for that purpose.
Is mulberry leaf safe to take every day?
When taken by mouth, mulberry leaf extracts seem to be well tolerated. But here's the thing: the fruit as food is safe, but concentrated supplement doses like this one haven't been studied as thoroughly. If you want to take it daily, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to get personalized advice for your situation.
What's actually in this capsule besides mulberry?
The capsule itself is made with gelatin and water — these are inert ingredients that hold the mulberry leaf powder. There are no added fillers or binders.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
When you take it by mouth, side effects are uncommon and it's generally well tolerated. The one side effect reported is contact dermatitis (skin irritation) if you touch the plant directly — that's not from swallowing the supplement.
