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: northern prickly ash at 450 mg per capsule. Prickly ash is a traditional herb sometimes used to support digestion.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.

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 Northern Prickly Ash product and its label doesn't state a use — see Northern Prickly Ash'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 have effectiveness data on file for prickly ash. The evidence supporting its use isn't established in our data, so we can't tell you whether it delivers the benefits a label might claim.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Northern Prickly Ash

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Prickly ash comes with a caution: very limited safety data exist, so it's best used cautiously and only short-term. The safety information for pregnancy and breastfeeding is thin — there isn't enough data to know whether it's safe, so the advice is to avoid it during both pregnancy and while nursing.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Northern Prickly Ash.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 36 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 H2-blockers, antacids, or proton pump inhibitors for heartburn or acid reflux, check those exact medications with the tool below before starting this product. Prickly ash may reduce how well these drugs work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Prickly ash is a traditional herb with almost no established effectiveness data in our records. If you take acid-reducing medications — H2-blockers, antacids, or PPIs — this product warrants a quick check with us first.

Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should skip it and ask their pharmacist for alternatives with better safety data.

Prickly Ash Bark 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Prickly Ash Bark 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Prickly Ash Bark 450 mg has a known interaction with 36 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Prickly Ash Bark 450 mg 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.
Is prickly ash safe during pregnancy?
The safety data isn't strong enough to say it's okay. There isn't enough information to know either way, so the best advice is to avoid it during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what you can safely use instead.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The data on breastfeeding safety is too sparse to say it's safe. Best to skip it while nursing and ask your pharmacist what alternatives might work for you.
How long can I use prickly ash?
Because safety data are limited, use it cautiously and for short periods only — not long-term. Your pharmacist can help you figure out a sensible timeline.
What does prickly ash do?
Prickly ash is a traditional herb sometimes used to support digestion, but we don't have solid evidence data on file showing it works. Talk with your pharmacist about what you're hoping it will help with.
Why does prickly ash interact with acid reflux medications?
Prickly ash is reported to increase stomach acid, which can work against drugs like H2-blockers, antacids, and PPIs — medications designed to lower acid. That's why they may not work as well if you're taking this herb alongside them.
