HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Psoriasis Formula Strawberry 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 liquid formula contains 2 active ingredients: American Saffron (safflower) glycerite extract and Mullein glycerite extract. Both are plant extracts in glycerin — a liquid carrier used to preserve and deliver herbal compounds.

The product also contains glycerin and strawberry flavor as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: psoriasis support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Phrynoderma, Scarring, Wound healing, skin inflammation, dermatitis, eczema — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Safflower is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Scarring (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Safflower is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Phrynoderma.
  • Also on file: Mullein is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing.

The evidence for this product's ingredients isn't established in the data we hold. Safflower has been studied for unstable angina, heart disease, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes, but none of those uses have sufficient reliable evidence to rate.

Mullein has been studied for bronchitis, asthma, cough, migraine, and diarrhea, but again the evidence is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for any of them. If you're considering this for psoriasis specifically, that indication isn't addressed in the data available to us.

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 have less safety data. There are rare case reports linking safflower overuse (usually for weight loss) to acute liver failure requiring transplant, though the doses and duration that caused those cases aren't clear.

Mullein is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are limited. For pregnancy: safflower carries conflicting ratings in the literature — some sources rate it Likely Safe, others Possibly Safe or Likely Unsafe — because safflower flower may stimulate the uterus and has traditionally been used to bring on menstruation.

Mullein has insufficient data and is best avoided in pregnancy. Neither ingredient has enough reliable information for breastfeeding; safflower beyond normal food use and mullein both should be avoided while nursing.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you during these times.

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 own doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're on blood thinners — anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk with safflower, Minor with mullein). Safflower also interacts with diabetes medications and warfarin (both Moderate).

These interactions can increase bleeding risk or change how your blood sugar or blood clotting is controlled.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is worth a careful medication check-up before you start it, especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or warfarin — those interactions are documented and can be serious. The evidence for how well it works for psoriasis or its intended purpose isn't established in the data we hold.

If you're thinking about trying it, chat with your own doctor or pharmacist first to make sure it won't interfere with anything you're taking.

For each ingredient in Psoriasis Formula Strawberry Flavor 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.

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 with warfarin?
Not without checking first.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
The data aren't clear enough. Safflower has mixed ratings and has been used traditionally to bring on menstruation, raising concerns in pregnancy. Mullein doesn't have enough safety information and is best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your situation.
What are these ingredients actually used for?
Safflower and mullein have been studied for several conditions — safflower for heart disease and diabetes, mullein for cough and bronchitis — but none of those uses have sufficient evidence to rate in our data. The product's use for psoriasis isn't addressed in the information we hold.
Are there any side effects?
Mullein is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are limited. Safflower oil in food is generally well tolerated; concentrated extracts and high-dose supplements have less safety data. Rare case reports link safflower overuse to serious liver problems, though the doses involved aren't always clear. Dermatitis (skin rash) has been reported with topical exposure to mullein in a couple of cases.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without checking first. Safflower has a Moderate interaction with diabetes drugs — some studies show it may raise fasting blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to review your specific medication before you start.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information on either ingredient while breastfeeding. Both safflower beyond normal food use and mullein are best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you and your baby.
