  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

The product also contains glycerin and mint flavoring as inactive ingredients.

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, stress, and sleep support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Anxiety, Stress, Insomnia, nervous tension, relaxation.
  • 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.

We don't have strong evidence that scullcap works for any of the conditions it's traditionally used for. Our data rates effectiveness as insufficient for epilepsy, stress, stroke, spasticity, contact dermatitis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

That means the studies we have aren't robust enough to say whether it helps or doesn't.

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 generally well tolerated at lower doses, but data on long-term safety is limited and product quality varies, so use it with care. The most common side effects are cognitive impairment, digestive upset, and sedation — mild digestive disturbances showed up in around 9% of people taking higher doses.

Vivid dreams have been reported in at least one case, though it's unclear if scullcap caused it. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

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 Mint Flavor might appeal to someone looking for herbal support for stress or sleep, but evidence for its effectiveness isn't established. If you take any sedating medication or CNS depressant, be cautious — this product could add to that effect and impair your thinking or alertness.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take any medications.

Scullcap Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Scullcap Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Scullcap Mint 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 Mint 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 is scullcap, and what is it used for?
Scullcap is an herbal extract traditionally used for stress, sleep, seizures, and other conditions. However, the evidence that it actually works for these uses is insufficient — we don't have strong enough studies yet. It does appear to cause sedation and cognitive slowing in animal and human research, which is why combining it with sedating drugs is a concern.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against both. There isn't enough information to know scullcap is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what might be safer for you.
What side effects does scullcap cause?
The most common ones are sedation, fuzzy thinking (cognitive impairment), and digestive upset. Mild digestive problems showed up in around 9% of people taking higher doses. Higher doses — 200 mg or more — are more likely to cause sedation and cognitive impairment than lower amounts.
Is this product safe to use long-term?
We don't have solid evidence on long-term safety, and product quality varies. It's often used short-term, but use it with care and talk with your pharmacist if you're thinking of taking it for weeks or months.
Can I take this with my sleep medication?
Not without checking first. Scullcap can add to the sedating effects of sleep aids and other CNS depressants, which could make you too drowsy or impair your thinking. Run both your medication and this product through the interaction checker, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
