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.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin and vanilla 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 supporting myrrh for most uses is weak or absent. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for back pain, cancer, common cold, dental peri-implantitis, or Crohn disease.

Myrrh is rated likely ineffective for schistosomiasis. If you're considering this for a specific health goal, the science behind it isn't established in our data.

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's oral safety isn't well studied, so caution is warranted with regular internal use. The main side effect reported orally is diarrhea, which occurred in some people at doses of 2–4 grams.

One case of severe lower abdominal pain was documented in a pregnant woman taking myrrh resin, attributed to myrrh's activity as a uterine stimulant — the pain resolved when she stopped. Myrrh is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy due to this uterine-stimulating effect.

There is no lactation safety data on file for myrrh.

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 use if you take antidiabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar) or warfarin (blood thinner — myrrh may reduce its effect). These are Moderate interactions documented in our data.

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 sugar medications or warfarin, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. For others, myrrh is not well-studied for internal use, so it's best reserved for short-term topical or rinse use.

Pregnant people should avoid it. Talk to your own healthcare provider before adding it to your routine.

Myrrh Gum Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Myrrh Gum Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myrrh Gum Vanilla 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 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?
No. Myrrh is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus. Severe abdominal pain has been reported in a pregnant person using it. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives.
Is myrrh safe to take by mouth long-term?
The oral safety of myrrh isn't well studied, so we don't have good data on long-term use. It's generally fine for short-term topical use or mouth rinses, but regular internal use carries caution. Your pharmacist can help you weigh the risks for your situation.
What side effects might I see?
Some people report diarrhea when taking myrrh at higher doses (2–4 grams). Topically, it may cause skin irritation in some cases. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop and tell your doctor.
Does myrrh actually work for back pain or colds?
We don't have reliable evidence that it does. The data shows insufficient evidence to rate myrrh for back pain, common cold, or most other conditions. More research is needed.
What is myrrh, and why is it in this product?
Myrrh is a resin that's been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries. It's included here as an active ingredient, though its effectiveness for most modern health claims hasn't been well proven by research.
