HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Psoriasis Formula 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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.13 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid formula contains 2 active ingredients: American Saffron Glycerite Liquid Extract and Mullein Glycerite Liquid Extract. Saffron (from safflower) has been studied for heart and metabolic conditions, while mullein is a traditional remedy for cough and respiratory symptoms.

The product also contains glycerin as an inactive ingredient to help deliver the extracts.

Does it work?

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: Psoriasis Formula.
  • We looked for evidence on: psoriasis, skin inflammation, dermatitis, eczema.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for both ingredients in this formula is not well established. Safflower has insufficient reliable evidence for unstable angina, coronary heart disease, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and diabetic kidney damage.

Mullein likewise shows insufficient evidence for bronchitis, asthma, migraine, cough, and diarrhea. This doesn't mean the product won't work for you — just that the clinical trial data we hold doesn't yet support a confident rating for these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Safflower Mullein

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Safflower oil in food amounts is generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts like those in supplements have less safety data behind them. The most concerning rare risk is liver damage — at least 7 case reports link high-dose safflower use (usually for weight loss) to acute liver failure, though the exact dose or duration that triggers this isn't known.

Safflower should be avoided in medicinal amounts during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and bring on menstruation, and there isn't enough data to know it's safe while breastfeeding beyond normal food use. Mullein is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are limited; it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Safflower Mullein

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Safflower, Mullein.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you use warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs) — safflower increases bleeding risk, especially at higher doses, and mullein has mild blood-thinning effects too. If you take diabetes medications, safflower may raise your blood sugar and require dose adjustments.

Because rare liver damage has been linked to high-dose safflower use, mention this product to your doctor if you have any liver concerns.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth trying if you're exploring natural support for psoriasis and your doctor agrees — but only after checking your medications, especially blood thinners, diabetes drugs, and warfarin. If you have liver disease or are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

The evidence for what these ingredients do isn't robust yet, so keep expectations realistic.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Psoriasis Formula with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

American Saffron Glycerite Liquid Extract3 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

High doses of safflower oil might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Small clinical studies show that taking safflower oil, approximately 55 grams daily for 2-3 weeks, decreases platelet aggregation. However, taking lower doses of safflower oil, such as 5 grams daily for 4 weeks, does not seem to affect platelet function. In one case report, a 74-year-old male stabilized on warfarin developed urinary tract bleeding and an elevated INR after taking a safflower extract 20 grams daily for 14 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, safflower oil might alter the effects of antidiabetes drugs.
Some clinical research shows that taking safflower oil 10 grams daily for 3 weeks can increase fasting blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, clinical research in patients with metabolic syndrome with or without impaired glucose tolerance shows that taking safflower oil 8 grams daily for 12 weeks reduces fasting glucose levels by around 8 mg/dL. Some clinical research also shows that taking safflower oil 8 grams daily for 16 weeks does not affect fasting glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Warfarin

Theoretically, safflower oil might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
In one case report, a 74-year-old male stabilized on warfarin developed urinary tract bleeding and an elevated INR after taking a safflower extract 20 grams daily for 14 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Mullein Glycerite Liquid Extract1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Lab tests on extracts from different parts of common and dense-flowered mullein plants show that they do have some blood-thinning effects, as they increase the time it takes for blood to clot. This is likely due to at least one of the known constituents of muellein, triterpenoid saponins. However, the effects appear to be mild and results have been inconsistent. Extracts from different plant parts have been show to have varying anticoagulant strengths, with water-based ones being more potent than alcohol-based extracts.

Psoriasis Formula by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Psoriasis Formula by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Psoriasis Formula has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Psoriasis Formula contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 it safe to take this while I'm on warfarin?
No — not without talking to your doctor first. Safflower in this product can increase your bleeding risk with warfarin; one case report documented a patient on stable warfarin who developed urinary bleeding and abnormal blood clotting markers after taking safflower extract for just two weeks. This is a Moderate severity interaction and needs medical oversight.
Can this help with psoriasis?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that safflower or mullein work reliably for psoriasis — we don't have effectiveness data for either ingredient on that condition. That doesn't mean it won't help you, just that clinical trials haven't yet proven it.
Is safflower safe during pregnancy?
The safety data on safflower in pregnancy are mixed in our monograph, but the safety notes advise against medicinal amounts because safflower may stimulate the uterus and trigger menstruation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant.
What's the liver damage risk I've heard about?
At least 7 case reports link high-dose safflower oil — mainly used for weight loss — to acute liver failure requiring transplant. It's not clear exactly what dose or how long it takes to cause this, so if you have liver disease or concerns, mention this product to your doctor before starting.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
Check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Safflower may raise blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, which could mean your diabetes drug needs adjusting. This is a Moderate severity interaction that needs professional guidance.
Is mullein safe while breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough data to know it's safe, so it's best avoided in medicinal amounts while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're nursing.
