HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sage Leaf Extract 150 mg by Vitamin World
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: sage leaf extract at 150 mg per capsule. Sage is an herb traditionally used for various purposes, including supporting cognitive function and managing menopausal symptoms.
The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, a plant-derived material.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Our data shows sage leaf extract is possibly effective for menopausal symptoms, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and cognitive function — meaning there's some evidence it may help, but more research would strengthen that. For postoperative pain, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
These ratings reflect what clinical studies have shown so far; your own results may vary.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sage is generally well tolerated as a food and short-term tea, but concentrated extracts like this one should be used cautiously. The most common side effects from oral use are abdominal pain, agitation, diarrhea, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
Rare serious side effects include seizures, linked to thujone and other compounds in sage. One patient in a trial developed acne-like skin eruptions.
Sage contains thujone, which raises safety concerns in pregnancy — medicinal or concentrated amounts should be avoided, though food amounts are likely fine. During breastfeeding, medicinal amounts should also be avoided because sage has traditionally been used to reduce milk supply; check with your doctor first.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take CNS depressants (sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, narcotic pain relievers) — sage may boost their sedative effects. Blood pressure medications, hormone therapy including birth control, and any drug metabolized by liver enzymes CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 also need review.
These are all Moderate severity concerns in the data we hold.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Sage leaf extract may be worth considering if you're interested in support for menopausal symptoms, cholesterol, or brain function and you don't take blood pressure drugs, sedatives, or hormone therapy. If you do take any of those, or any other prescription medication, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the enzyme interactions are theoretical but widespread.
Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should check with their healthcare provider first.

Sage Leaf Extract 150 mg by Vitamin World Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Sage Leaf Extract 150 mg by Vitamin World contains sage, which has documented interactions with a number of medications.
The most serious concern is with CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications) — sage may increase their sedative effects and side effects. This is a Moderate severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sage may also theoretically raise or lower the effects of blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs), depending on which type of sage and which drug you're taking. It can inhibit several liver enzymes that break down medications — specifically CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 substrates — which means it might increase levels and effects of drugs metabolized by these pathways.
All of these are Moderate severity. Additionally, sage may increase levels of drugs transported by P-glycoprotein, and it may interfere with hormone therapy, including birth control and estrogen replacement.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,297 individual medications. Because the interactions with liver enzymes and drug transporters haven't been seen in humans yet — only in lab studies — the real-world risk is uncertain.
Still, if you take any prescription medication, especially blood pressure drugs, sedatives, or hormone therapy, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page before starting.

For each ingredient in Sage Leaf Extract 150 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Sage leaf extract
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, sage might decrease the clinical effects of anticholinergic drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that common sage (Salvia officinalis) and Spanish sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia) can inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels.
Anticonvulsants
Theoretically, sage might interfere with the clinical effects of anticonvulsant drugs.
Some species of sage can cause convulsions when consumed in large quantities.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking sage with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes, common sage (Salvia officinalis) has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity. However, other clinical research in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes shows that common sage extract does not lower fasting blood glucose levels.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, sage might increase or decrease the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that common sage (Salvia officinalis) can cause prolonged blood pressure reduction. However, clinical research suggests that Spanish sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia) can increase blood pressure in some people with hypertension. Until more is known, use with caution.
Benzodiazepines
Theoretically, taking sage might increase the sedative and adverse effects of benzodiazepines.
In vitro evidence suggests that certain components of common sage (Salvia officinalis) can bind to benzodiazepine receptors. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, sage might have additive effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that common sage (Salvia officinalis) and Spanish sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia) can inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking sage might increase the sedative and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Some constituents of sage have CNS depressant activity.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, sage might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro evidence suggests that aqueous extracts of sage can inhibit CYP2C19. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, sage might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro evidence suggests that aqueous extracts of sage can inhibit CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, sage might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro evidence suggests that aqueous extracts of sage can inhibit CYP2D6. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates
Theoretically, sage might decrease the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Animal research suggests that drinking common sage (Salvia officinalis) tea increases the expression of CYP2E1. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, sage might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro evidence suggests that aqueous extracts of sage can inhibit CYP3A4. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Estrogens
Theoretically, sage might interfere with hormone therapy.
In vitro evidence suggests that geraniol, a constituent of Spanish sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia), exerts estrogenic activity. The clinical significance of this effect is unclear.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, sage might increase levels of drugs transported by P-glycoprotein.
In vitro research suggests that common sage (Salvia officinalis) can inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. This effect has not been reported in humans.
