HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Parasite Cleansing Complex Strawberry 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.13 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Parasite Cleansing Complex contains 8 active ingredients as a proprietary blend in liquid form: chamomile flower extract, marshmallow root extract, cascara sagrada extract, black walnut extract, slippery elm extract, pumpkin seed extract, violet extract, and mullein extract. The product also includes glycerin and strawberry flavor as inactive ingredients.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: parasite cleansing and intestinal health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Intestinal parasite infection, Constipation, Bowel preparation, Hemorrhoids, worm infection, digestive cleansing — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cascara Sagrada is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Bowel preparation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Mullein is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hemorrhoids.
  • Also on file: Cascara Sagrada is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation.

The ingredients in this product have not been shown to have reliable evidence of effectiveness for their intended uses. Chamomile, marshmallow, cascara sagrada, slippery elm, black walnut, violet, and mullein all carry ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they're traditionally used for—from constipation and respiratory symptoms to wound healing and skin conditions.

The only exception is pumpkin seed, which is rated possibly effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). Overall, we do not have established evidence that this combination works as a parasite cleanser.

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 7 of the 8 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 8 of 8.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 8 of 8.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chamomile is generally well tolerated but can cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants, and in rare cases has caused severe hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis. Cascara sagrada may cause mild abdominal cramping with short-term use but carries serious risks with long-term use, including liver damage and loss of muscle mass.

Marshmallow, slippery elm, pumpkin seed, and mullein are generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality safety data are limited for most. Black walnut leaf, bark, and hull contain tannins that may cause gastrointestinal upset, and daily use is associated with an increased risk of tongue cancer and lip leukoplakia.

Violet caused hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells) in a case report of an infant with G6PD deficiency. During pregnancy, chamomile, marshmallow, cascara sagrada, black walnut, violet, and mullein are best avoided due to insufficient safety data; slippery elm and pumpkin seed have limited data as well.

While breastfeeding, cascara sagrada is rated possibly unsafe; the others lack sufficient safety information.

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?
  • 6 of the 8 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Mullein, Cascara Sagrada, Marshmallow, Pumpkin, German Chamomile, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,123 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.

If you take any of these medication types, check your specific drugs with the tool below before starting: warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants), lithium, sedating drugs (CNS depressants), oral contraceptives or estrogen replacement therapy, digoxin, diuretic drugs, corticosteroids, or drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 enzymes. Additionally, do not take this product within 30–60 minutes of any oral medications, as the mucilage in marshmallow and slippery elm may slow their absorption.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product combines eight botanical extracts with limited high-quality safety and effectiveness data. If you take warfarin, lithium, a sedating medication, digoxin, diuretics, corticosteroids, oral contraceptives, or drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP enzymes, you'll need to check this product against your specific medications before starting.

Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should discuss this product with their doctor or pharmacist before use, as safety data are insufficient for most ingredients. Talk with your own healthcare provider about whether this product is right for you.

Mullein Glycerite Liquid Extract1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Lab tests on extracts from different parts of common and dense-flowered mullein plants show that they do have some blood-thinning effects, as they increase the time it takes for blood to clot. This is likely due to at least one of the known constituents of muellein, triterpenoid saponins. However, the effects appear to be mild and results have been inconsistent. Extracts from different plant parts have been show to have varying anticoagulant strengths, with water-based ones being more potent than alcohol-based extracts.

Parasite Cleansing Complex Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Parasite Cleansing Complex Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Parasite Cleansing Complex Strawberry Flavor has a known interaction with 2,122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Parasite Cleansing Complex Strawberry Flavor contains 8 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 while pregnant?
The data we hold advise against most of these ingredients during pregnancy—chamomile, marshmallow, cascara sagrada, black walnut, violet, and mullein all lack enough safety information. Cascara sagrada is specifically not recommended during pregnancy. Slippery elm and pumpkin seed have limited data as well. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
Cascara sagrada is rated possibly unsafe during breastfeeding because active compounds may pass into breast milk. The other ingredients lack sufficient breastfeeding safety data. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product while nursing.
What does pumpkin seed do in this blend?
Pumpkin seed extract is possibly effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). The other uses pumpkin seed is traditional for—from hair loss to urinary tract infections—lack reliable evidence in our data.
Can cascara sagrada be used long-term?
No. Cascara sagrada is a stimulant laxative best used short-term only. Long-term use is associated with serious risks including liver damage, loss of muscle mass, and protein in the urine. It should not be used for bowel preparation, as it's rated possibly ineffective for that use.
What should I watch for if I'm taking digoxin?
Cascara sagrada in this product may lower your potassium level, which could increase the risk of digoxin toxicity. Do not take this product if you're on digoxin without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Why do I need to space this 30–60 minutes away from other oral medications?
Both marshmallow root and slippery elm contain mucilage, a thick substance that can interfere with how your body absorbs other oral medications. Spacing them out helps ensure your other drugs work as intended.
