HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Scullcap (Certified Organic) 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection

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

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: skullcap (also spelled scullcap), a dried plant extract at 450 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water — both inactive ingredients that hold and deliver the herb.

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 Skullcap product and its label doesn't state a use — see Skullcap'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.

The evidence for skullcap isn't established in the data we hold. It's been studied for epilepsy, stress, stroke recovery, spasticity, contact dermatitis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (mood and physical symptoms tied to your cycle), but all those uses are rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That means we don't have solid proof it works for any of them yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Skullcap

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 1 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.

Skullcap is often used for short stretches, but the safety data is limited and product quality varies — so use it with care. The most common side effects from oral use are cognitive impairment (trouble thinking clearly), digestive upset, and sedation.

A small number of people taking higher doses (200 mg or more) or longer courses reported vivid dreams, though it's unclear whether skullcap caused them. Skullcap should be avoided during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data.

It should also be avoided while breastfeeding for the same reason. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Skullcap.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 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 you take this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use any CNS depressants — sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, certain pain relievers, or some antidepressants. The combination could make you significantly drowsier or mentally foggy.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Scullcap might appeal to you if you're interested in herbal support for relaxation, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't solid yet. The real concern is its interaction with CNS depressants — if you take any medication that makes you sleepy or affects your thinking, you'll want to check first.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

Scullcap (Certified Organic) 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Scullcap (Certified Organic) 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Scullcap (Certified Organic) 450 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Scullcap (Certified Organic) 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.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data isn't there. Skullcap should be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
Cognitive impairment (trouble thinking clearly), digestive upset, and sedation are the most common. Mild digestive disturbances showed up in a small number of people taking higher doses for a couple of weeks. Higher doses (200 mg and up) are more likely to cause sedation and mental fogginess.
How much of this should I take?
This product contains 450 mg per capsule, but the facts don't specify a recommended dose. Talk with your pharmacist or the product label for dosing guidance — and keep in mind that higher doses carry more risk of sedation and cognitive effects.
Does this actually work for stress or anxiety?
The evidence isn't established yet. Skullcap has been studied for stress, but we don't have solid proof it works for it — or for any of the other conditions it's been tested against.
Is this product a guaranteed quality?
It's certified organic, which is a plus, but the facts note that product quality varies across skullcap supplements. That's one reason to use it with care — and another reason to talk with your pharmacist if you're considering it.
