HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Plum Fruit Powder 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: plum powder. Plums are a whole fruit you'd normally eat fresh or dried, and this powder form concentrates that same fruit into a supplement.

There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed.

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).

Plum powder is possibly effective for constipation based on the evidence we hold. For bone thinning (osteopenia), high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), and hepatitis, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works — we have insufficient reliable data on those uses.

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. The most common side effects from plum are gastrointestinal — flatulence and diarrhea.

Rare serious effects include allergic reactions; there are also rare case reports of bowel obstruction from dried plums or plum pits, though this was typically in infants or involved swallowing a pit whole. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, eating plums as a regular food is considered fine, but concentrated supplement forms haven't been well studied in these situations.

There isn't enough data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.

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.

Blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs — including warfarin, apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, aspirin, clopidogrel, and ticlopidine — are the main concern. Plum may prolong clotting time and reduce platelet function, raising your risk of bruising and bleeding.

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 Fruit Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Plum Fruit Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Plum Fruit Powder 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 Fruit Powder 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.
Can I take Plum Fruit Powder if I'm on aspirin or another blood thinner?
Not without checking first. Plum has been shown to prolong clotting time and affect how platelets work, which could increase your bleeding risk if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, warfarin, or clopidogrel. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is safe for you.
Does this powder actually help with constipation?
Yes — plum is possibly effective for constipation based on the evidence. It's one of the more established uses we have data for. That said, start with a small amount to see how your stomach tolerates it, since gastrointestinal effects like flatulence and diarrhea are the most common side effects.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Eating plums as regular food is considered fine, but concentrated supplement forms like this powder haven't been well studied in pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough data to know whether it's safe either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice that fits your situation.
What are the most common side effects?
Gastrointestinal effects — flatulence and diarrhea — are the most common. Serious side effects like allergic reactions or bowel obstruction are rare and were typically tied to dried plums or plum pits in specific cases.
Does this product have any fillers or other inactive ingredients?
No — this is just plum powder with no added inactive ingredients listed.
