HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myrrh Gum Mint 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: myrrh gum glycerite liquid extract. Myrrh is a resin traditionally used in herbal medicine, and this version is extracted and mixed with glycerin for a liquid form with mint flavoring.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin (the extraction base) and mint flavor.

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 Myrrh product and its label doesn't state a use — see Myrrh'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 for myrrh's effectiveness for most conditions isn't well established. We hold ratings showing it is likely ineffective for schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection).

For back pain, common cold, dental peri-implantitis, cancer, and Crohn disease, we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it works. If you're considering this product for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh

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.

Myrrh taken by mouth hasn't been well studied for safety. Short-term topical use or as a mouth rinse is considered likely fine, but oral use carries concerns.

Diarrhea has been reported in some people at doses of 2–4 grams. Myrrh is traditionally believed to stimulate the uterus, which is why it should be avoided during pregnancy — one case reported severe lower abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking myrrh by mouth, which resolved when she stopped.

Safety during breastfeeding isn't documented in our data, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

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 — Myrrh.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 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 before starting if you take antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications) — myrrh may increase low blood sugar risk. Also confirm with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or other blood thinners, as myrrh may reduce their effectiveness.

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.

Myrrh Gum Mint Flavor may appeal to people looking for a traditional herbal remedy, but the evidence for most uses is weak or absent. If you take antidiabetes medications or warfarin, this product is not a casual add-on — you'll need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist first.

If you're pregnant or nursing, safety data advises against it. Talk it over with your healthcare provider to see if it fits your situation.

Myrrh Gum Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Myrrh Gum Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myrrh Gum Mint Flavor has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Myrrh Gum Mint 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?
No. Myrrh is traditionally said to stimulate the uterus, and safety data advises against it during pregnancy. One case even reported severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking myrrh by mouth. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
What does myrrh actually do?
That depends on what you're using it for. We have insufficient evidence to rate it for back pain, common cold, dental issues, cancer, and Crohn disease. It is rated likely ineffective for schistosomiasis. If you have a specific condition in mind, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the evidence supports it.
What side effects should I watch for?
Diarrhea is the most common reported side effect, typically at higher doses of 2–4 grams. Severe abdominal pain has been reported, though that case was in a pregnant woman and was related to myrrh's uterine-stimulating effect. If you experience unusual pain or digestive upset, stop and contact your doctor.
Is myrrh safe to take by mouth?
Oral safety hasn't been well studied. Short-term topical use or mouth rinse is considered likely fine, but taking it by mouth carries more uncertainty. The data we hold advises caution because long-term oral safety isn't clear.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety information on file for myrrh during breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to figure out whether it's okay for you while nursing.
