HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Periwinkle Mint 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

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: a periwinkle glycerite liquid extract. Periwinkle is a plant whose leaves have been used traditionally, though the product also contains inactive ingredients — glycerin and mint flavor — that make up 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

This is a single-ingredient Periwinkle product and its label doesn't state a use — see Periwinkle'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.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for periwinkle in our data, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows it works for based on the facts provided with this product.

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 carries serious safety concerns. The plant contains strong alkaloids (chemical compounds) that can damage your liver, kidneys, and nervous system if you take too much, and it can cause gastrointestinal upset, skin flushing, and dangerously low blood pressure.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because of these potent alkaloids and the lack of safety studies in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Periwinkle

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 (antihypertensives), check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — periwinkle may strengthen their effect and lower your pressure too much.
