HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Scullcap 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

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: scullcap glycerite liquid extract, a plant-based preparation of skullcap root traditionally used to support relaxation and calm. The extract is delivered in a glycerin base with chocolate flavoring added for taste.

Glycerin and chocolate flavor are inactive ingredients that help with delivery and palatability—they're not the working part of the formula.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: anxiety and stress relief, sleep support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Insomnia, Stress, Nervous tension, Muscle tension.
  • The closest evidence on file: Skullcap is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Skullcap is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress.

The evidence for skullcap isn't firm enough to rate. The product facts show insufficient reliable evidence for stress, epilepsy, stroke, spasticity, contact dermatitis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means the clinical trials we have aren't solid enough to say either way. If you're considering this for a specific condition, talk with your doctor about what the research actually supports for your situation.

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.

Scullcap is commonly used short-term, but the safety data is thin and product quality varies, so use it cautiously. The most common side effects reported are sedation, cognitive impairment, and digestive upset.

A small number of trial participants taking 350 mg three times daily for two weeks reported mild digestive disturbances (around 9%), and higher doses—200 mg or more per dose—may cause more noticeable sedation and thinking problems. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best avoided.

The same goes for breastfeeding—safety is unknown, so don't use it while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding and considering this product.

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, double-check any CNS depressants you're on—that includes sleep aids, sedatives, anti-anxiety medications, and some pain relievers. The combination could deepen drowsiness and impair thinking.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Scullcap Chocolate Flavor may appeal to someone looking for herbal relaxation support, but the evidence for what it actually does isn't established yet. The main concern is mixing it with sleep aids, sedatives, or anti-anxiety drugs—it could add to their drowsiness and cognitive effects.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or take any medication that makes you sleepy, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Scullcap Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Scullcap Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Scullcap Chocolate Flavor 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 Chocolate Flavor 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.
What does scullcap do?
Scullcap has been traditionally used to support relaxation and calm. The evidence for specific conditions—like stress, anxiety, or epilepsy—isn't strong enough to rate yet, so we don't know for certain how well it works.
What are the most common side effects?
Sedation, cognitive impairment (foggy thinking), and digestive upset are the most common ones reported. At lower doses (like 100 mg), side effects are minimal, but higher doses of 200 mg or more may cause more noticeable sedation and thinking problems.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, so it's best avoided then. The same goes for breastfeeding—safety is unknown. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your situation.
Is this product safe to use long-term?
Scullcap is typically used short-term, and because safety data is limited and product quality varies, you should use it cautiously. If you're thinking of using it long-term, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Will this make me drowsy?
Yes—sedation is one of the effects research shows skullcap can cause. It's especially likely if you take higher doses. If you drive or operate machinery, be aware that this product may affect your alertness and thinking.
What's the chocolate flavor for?
It's an inactive ingredient added to improve taste. It doesn't contribute to the product's effects—just makes it easier to take.
