HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Passion Formula 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

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.

Passion Formula contains 2 active ingredients in a proprietary blend: jujube fruit glycerite liquid extract and tribulus terrestris glycerite liquid extract. Jujube fruit has been studied for a range of effects—from aging skin to anxiety and asthma—though the evidence is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for any of these uses.

Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction but possibly ineffective for athletic performance. The product also contains glycerin as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Moderate 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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: sexual function and athletic performance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Erectile dysfunction (ED), Exercise-induced muscle damage, Male infertility, Sexual dysfunction, Libido — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance.
  • Also on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Erectile dysfunction (ED), Male infertility, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The evidence for this product's uses is limited. Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, but jujube fruit has insufficient evidence to support its use for aging skin, anemia, anxiety, asthma, or athletic performance.

The facts we hold don't establish solid proof that either ingredient works for the purposes this product may be marketed for, so don't expect clear results.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Zizyphus Tribulus

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.

Jujube fruit is widely eaten as food, but concentrated supplements haven't been well studied. The most common reported side effects in trials were headache, mild diarrhea (in infants), dry mouth, and increased bowel movements—a small number of participants experienced these.

Tribulus is often well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited. Rare serious effects—liver and kidney injury, seizures, and painful erection—have been reported.

The most common side effects in trials were abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, though rates were similar to placebo in one study.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Zizyphus Tribulus

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Tribulus, Zizyphus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 635 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar), antihypertensive drugs (risk of overly low blood pressure), lithium (levels may rise), CNS depressants like sedatives or sleep aids (risk of extra drowsiness), or medications metabolized by CYP1A2 enzymes (jujube may reduce their effectiveness).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're interested in tribulus for sexual dysfunction, this product has some evidence behind it—but check your medications first, especially if you take diabetes drugs, blood pressure meds, or lithium. Jujube's uses aren't well established.

Both ingredients are generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety isn't solid. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, particularly if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or take any regular medications.

For each ingredient in Passion Formula with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Jujube Fruit Glycerite Liquid Extract3 drug types · 469 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, zizyphus might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that zizyphus has hypoglycemic activity. However, a small clinical study shows that zizyphus fruit powder does not reduce fasting blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, zizyphus might cause additive sedative effects when taken with CNS depressants.
Some animal research has found that various parts of zizyphus have sedative effects. However, other animal research shows that zizyphus plant extract does not alter sleep parameters when used in combination with pentobarbital.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, zizyphus might decrease the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Animal research shows that zizyphus induces CYP1A2 enzymes. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Tribulus terrestris Glycerite Liquid Extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking tribulus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking antidiabetes medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking tribulus with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that tribulus can lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tribulus has also demonstrated hypotensive effects in pre-hypertensive adults.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, tribulus might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Tribulus is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these potential diuretic effects, tribulus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Passion Formula by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Passion Formula by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Passion Formula has a known interaction with 635 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Passion Formula 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 it safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Jujube is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. Tribulus, however, is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy because it may affect hormones, and we don't have enough safety data while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Does it actually help with sexual function?
Tribulus terrestris is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on available evidence. Jujube fruit doesn't have established evidence for sexual function. Results vary, so don't expect guaranteed results.
What are the most common side effects?
Jujube has been linked to headache, mild diarrhea, dry mouth, and increased bowel movements in trials, affecting a small number of participants. Tribulus commonly causes abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, though rates in one study were similar to placebo.
Can this affect my blood sugar or blood pressure?
Yes—both ingredients may lower blood sugar, so there's a risk with diabetes medications. Tribulus may also lower blood pressure, so it can add to the effect of blood pressure drugs. If you take either type of medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Tribulus is often well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited. Jujube concentrated supplements also haven't been well studied for safety over time. The safest approach is to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about how long it's okay for you to use it.
Why does the interaction list show so many medications?
That count includes all individual medications affected by the ingredients' interactions with specific drug types—for example, all antidiabetes drugs are counted separately, even though the underlying interaction is the same. The key is to check whether you take any of those drug types, not whether your exact drug appears in the full list.
