HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Psoriasis Formula Chocolate 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

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 product contains 2 active ingredients in glycerite liquid form (a plant extract preserved in glycerin). American Saffron Glycerite Liquid Extract comes from safflower, a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine.

Mullein Glycerite Liquid Extract is derived from mullein, another traditional herb. The formula also includes glycerin and chocolate flavor as inactive ingredients to make it drinkable.

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 support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Psoriasis, Skin inflammation, Dermatitis.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for both ingredients in this formula is incomplete. Safflower has been studied for unstable angina, coronary heart disease, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes, but the data we hold show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for any of these uses.

Mullein has similarly been researched for bronchitis, asthma, migraine headache, cough, and diarrhea, but again we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works. Neither ingredient's effectiveness for psoriasis specifically is documented in our data.

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 is generally well tolerated, but concentrated flower extracts and high-dose supplements like this one have less safety data. A serious concern is liver failure: at least 7 case reports link it to over-use of safflower oil, usually taken for weight loss, though the exact doses or duration involved remain unclear.

During pregnancy, safflower has a mixed rating — some data suggest it's possibly safe, but it's traditionally been used to bring on menstruation and is labeled likely unsafe in medicinal amounts; safety while breastfeeding is not well established. Mullein is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are limited, and it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners (anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs) or warfarin — safflower carries Moderate risk of increased bleeding at higher doses, and mullein has a Minor blood-thinning effect. If you take diabetes medication, safflower may alter your blood sugar control.

Altogether, these interactions span 208 individual medications.

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 combines two herbs with incomplete evidence for their effectiveness and several documented interactions, most notably with blood thinners and diabetes drugs. If you take warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, diabetes medication, or any other prescription medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

The limited safety data — especially safflower's liver-failure cases — and unclear effectiveness for psoriasis mean you'll want personalized advice from your own healthcare provider.

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.

Does Psoriasis Formula Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Psoriasis Formula Chocolate Flavor 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 Chocolate Flavor 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.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin or another blood thinner?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Safflower in this product carries a Moderate risk of increased bleeding with blood thinners, and there's a case report of a patient on warfarin who had bleeding complications after taking safflower extract. Mullein also has mild blood-thinning properties. Your pharmacist or doctor needs to review your specific medication before you start.
Will this affect my blood sugar if I have diabetes?
Possibly. Safflower may theoretically alter how diabetes drugs work, and some research shows it can raise fasting blood glucose in type 2 diabetes. If you take diabetes medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
Is safflower safe to take long-term?
Safflower oil in food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts and high-dose supplements have less safety data. There are at least 7 case reports of acute liver failure linked to over-use of safflower oil, usually for weight loss, though the exact doses involved aren't clear. This is a reason to discuss it with your healthcare provider, especially if you plan extended use.
Can I use this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
The safety data for safflower in pregnancy are mixed — some sources rate it possibly safe, but it's traditionally been used to bring on menstruation and is labeled likely unsafe in medicinal amounts. Mullein should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Does this actually work for psoriasis?
We don't have effectiveness data for either ingredient specifically for psoriasis. Both safflower and mullein have been studied for other conditions — like heart disease, diabetes, cough, and bronchitis — but the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate how well they work for any of those uses.
