HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Periwinkle Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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

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: periwinkle leaf extract (dry, raw form). Periwinkle is a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine, and its active compounds include alkaloids with effects on blood vessels and circulation.

The rest of the liquid is made up of glycerin and water, which are inactive ingredients that serve as the liquid base.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Memory and cognitive support, circulation.
  • We looked for evidence on: cognitive decline, memory, circulation, dizziness.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for periwinkle leaf extract. That means the evidence for what this product is intended to do isn't established in the data we hold.

If you're considering it for a specific condition, that's a good question to bring to your pharmacist or doctor.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Periwinkle

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.

Periwinkle is regarded as unsafe for oral use because its alkaloids—the compounds that give it its effects—can damage your liver, kidneys, and nervous system, especially at higher doses. It can also cause skin flushing, stomach upset, and low blood pressure.

The safety notes make clear this should only be used with professional guidance. The ingredient is unsafe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to those potent alkaloids and lack of safety data.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, this product isn't recommended.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Periwinkle

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 — Periwinkle.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 172 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 blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), you need to check with us or your pharmacist before using this product. Periwinkle may strengthen their effect and drop your pressure too low.

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.

This product carries real safety and interaction concerns. Because it can lower blood pressure and contains strong compounds that may harm your liver and kidneys, it should only be used under professional supervision.
