HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Plum 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection

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 plum extract in a 4:1 concentration (meaning four parts plum are reduced to one part extract), delivering 450 mg per capsule. Plum is a dried fruit long used in traditional medicine and as a common food.

The capsules also contain gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Plum's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Plum for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Constipation — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The data we hold shows plum is possibly effective for constipation—the one condition with meaningful supporting evidence. For osteopenia (low bone density), dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipids), and hepatitis, the evidence is insufficient to rate whether plum helps.

If you're considering this supplement for constipation, the rating suggests it may be worth a try, though you'd want to discuss your specific situation with your doctor.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Plum

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.

Plums and prunes are widely eaten as food and are generally well tolerated when consumed in normal amounts. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal—flatulence and diarrhea.

Rare serious effects include allergic reactions and, in case reports, bowel obstruction or esophageal perforation from consuming dried plums or plum pits (these involved whole foods, not extracts). For pregnancy and lactation, concentrated supplement forms lack safety data, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you before taking it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Plum

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 — Plum.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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 if you're on any blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs—warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and similar medications carry a Moderate interaction risk. This supplement may increase your bleeding or bruising if combined with them.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're dealing with constipation and aren't on blood thinners, this supplement has some evidence behind it and is generally well tolerated. If you take any anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist first—the interaction risk is real enough to warrant clearing it.

Gastrointestinal side effects are common, so start low if you decide to use it. For pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any other medication, a quick conversation with your healthcare provider puts you on the safest path.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, plum juice might have antiplatelet effects.
Consuming plum juice while taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. In healthy volunteers, drinking plum juice 200 mL daily for 28 days prolonged clotting time and inhibited platelet aggregation.

Plum 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Plum 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Plum 450 mg 4:1 Extract has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Plum 450 mg 4:1 Extract contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Will this help my constipation?
Plum is rated possibly effective for constipation, so there's real evidence it may help. That said, results vary from person to person, and you'll want to see how your body responds—start with the recommended dose and give it time. If you're not seeing results or have ongoing digestive concerns, check in with your doctor.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. The common side effects are gastrointestinal—flatulence and diarrhea. Allergic reactions are rare. In very rare cases, whole dried plums or plum pits have caused bowel obstruction, but that's not a concern with this extract form at normal doses.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Concentrated supplement forms of plum lack safety data in pregnancy and lactation. Eating whole plums is generally considered fine, but we don't have enough information on this extract to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it—they can help you decide what's right for your situation.
What exactly is in this product?
One active ingredient: a 4:1 plum extract (450 mg per capsule), plus gelatin and water as inactive ingredients. That's it—no fillers or extra stuff.
Is plum extract safe?
Plums and prunes are widely eaten as food and are generally safe in normal amounts. This extract is generally well tolerated, though gastrointestinal side effects like gas and loose stool are common. The main caution is if you're on blood thinners—check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
