HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Parasite Support Vanilla 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 Jul 11, 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 2 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.

This liquid contains two active ingredients: quassia glycerite liquid extract and mugwort glycerite liquid extract. The product has 2 active ingredients total.

It also contains glycerin and vanilla flavor as inactive ingredients (excipients that give it its form and taste).

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: parasite support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Intestinal parasite infection, Lice, helminth infection, nematode infection.
  • The closest evidence on file: Mugwort is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Intestinal parasite infection (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Quassia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lice.

The evidence for both ingredients is not yet established in the data we hold. Quassia's effectiveness for seborrheic dermatitis, lice, and rosacea is rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

Mugwort's effectiveness for anxiety, epilepsy, high blood pressure, insomnia, and intestinal parasite infection is also rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate. In other words, we don't have solid proof that either one works for these purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Quassia Mugwort

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Quassia can irritate your digestive tract — it's probably fine in the tiny amounts used in food, but larger or longer-term doses may cause nausea and vomiting. Long-term use has been reported to cause vision changes and even blindness.

Mugwort may trigger allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants; symptoms can include asthma, rash, and in rare cases anaphylaxis. A case of mania was reported after someone consumed a very large amount of mugwort infusion, though the concentration of its active component (thujone) can vary widely.

During pregnancy, quassia is rated likely unsafe based on traditional concerns and lack of safety data. Mugwort is also likely unsafe in pregnancy because it has historically been used to stimulate the uterus.

Neither ingredient has enough safety information for breastfeeding — the data advises against use while nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Quassia Mugwort

Why this rating?

  • For scale: 198 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.

Quassia Glycerite Liquid Extract6 drug types · 198 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

In animals, quassia extract reduced levels of fasting glucose. Theoretically, quassia might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, concomitant use with cardiac medications might increase the risk of therapeutic and adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Overuse of quassia might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking quassia along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia. Initiation of potassium supplementation or an increase in potassium supplement dose may be necessary for some patients.
Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antacids

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of antacids.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
H2-Blockers

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of H2-blockers. The H2 blockers include cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), nizatidine (Axid), and famotidine (Pepcid).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of PPIs. PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix), and esomeprazole (Nexium).

Parasite Support Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Parasite Support Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Parasite Support Vanilla Flavor has a known interaction with 198 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Parasite Support Vanilla Flavor contains 2 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.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — both quassia and mugwort are rated likely unsafe during pregnancy, and there isn't enough safety data to use either while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor before considering any parasite support during pregnancy or lactation.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Quassia can cause nausea, vomiting, and digestive irritation, especially at medicinal doses. Long-term use has been linked to vision changes and blindness. Mugwort may trigger allergic reactions if you're sensitive to ragweed — symptoms can include asthma, rash, and rarely anaphylaxis. A rare case of mania has also been reported with very high doses.
Does this actually work for parasites?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Mugwort's effectiveness for intestinal parasite infection is rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate, meaning we don't have solid proof it works for this purpose yet.
Can I take this with my acid reflux medication?
Quassia may increase stomach acid, which could make your acid reflux drugs less effective — especially omeprazole, ranitidine, and similar medications. Check your specific prescription with the medication tool on this page, and tell your pharmacist before you start.
What's in this product?
It contains quassia glycerite liquid extract and mugwort glycerite liquid extract as the active ingredients, plus glycerin and vanilla flavor to make it drinkable. Those last two are inactive excipients.
Should I be concerned if I'm allergic to ragweed?
Yes — mugwort can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to ragweed and related plants, including asthma, rash, and in rare cases a severe reaction called anaphylaxis. If you have a known ragweed allergy, talk to your pharmacist before using this product.
