HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Scullcap 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

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 liquid is a single-ingredient product: scullcap glycerite liquid extract, a concentrated herbal preparation of scullcap (also called skullcap). It's delivered in a glycerin base with added strawberry flavor for taste.

Glycerin and the flavoring are inactive ingredients — they're there to make it palatable and stable, not for therapeutic effect.

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, 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 effectiveness data we hold on scullcap shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for epilepsy, stress, stroke, spasticity, contact dermatitis, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). That means the research so far isn't solid enough for us to say whether it works for any of these uses.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.

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 often used short-term, but evidence on long-term safety is limited and product quality varies — use it with care and monitor how you feel. The most common side effects reported are cognitive impairment, digestive disturbances, and sedation; mild digestive upset was seen in around 9% of people taking 350 mg three times daily for 2 weeks.

Higher doses (200 mg and above) are more likely to cause sedation and fuzzy thinking. One person on a high dose reported vivid dreams, though it's unclear if scullcap caused it.

The safety data advises against this product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

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.

Check before combining this product with CNS depressants (Moderate severity) — sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medications, pain relievers, and other drugs that cause drowsiness. Adding scullcap may intensify sedation and cognitive impairment.

Your doctor or pharmacist can review your exact prescriptions and advise whether it's safe to use together.

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 Strawberry Flavor is generally well tolerated at lower doses, but it does interact with CNS depressants — any sedating medication. Before you take it, check your full medication list with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take sleeping pills, anti-anxiety meds, or pain relievers.

Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should avoid it. If you want to use it, discuss your goals and current medications with your healthcare provider first.

Scullcap Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Scullcap Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Scullcap Strawberry 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 Strawberry 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether there's a better option for you.
What are the side effects?
The most common are cognitive impairment (fuzzy thinking), digestive disturbances, and sedation. Mild digestive upset showed up in about 9% of people on a higher dose (350 mg three times daily for 2 weeks). Higher doses tend to cause more sedation and mental fogginess.
Does it actually work for stress or anxiety?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to rate it for either of those uses. There simply isn't reliable research backing its effectiveness for stress, anxiety, or the other conditions listed on the label.
What if I'm taking a sleeping pill — can I use this too?
Maybe, but you need to check first. Scullcap can add to the sedating effects of sleeping pills and other CNS depressants. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it's safe to combine them or if you need to adjust timing.
Is there anything in this besides scullcap?
The active ingredient is scullcap glycerite. The other ingredients — glycerin and strawberry flavor — are there to make it taste better and keep it shelf-stable, not for any medicinal purpose.
How long can I use this?
The safety data is limited for long-term use. Scullcap is typically used short-term, and product quality varies between brands. Use it with care, watch how you feel, and talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you plan to use it regularly.
