HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sheep Sorrel 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: sheep sorrel, 450 mg per capsule. Sheep sorrel is a plant used traditionally in herbal supplements.

The capsule also contains two inactive ingredients — gelatin and water — which serve as the capsule material and filler.

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

We hold effectiveness ratings for sheep sorrel against bronchitis, breast cancer, and rhinosinusitis (sinus inflammation). For all three conditions, the evidence is currently insufficient to rate.

That means either we don't have solid human trial data yet, or the data that exists is too limited to say whether it works. If you're considering this supplement for one of these uses, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the evidence actually shows for your specific situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sorrel

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.

Sheep sorrel is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but the supplement form raises some concerns. The main worry is its high oxalate content — in concentrated doses, oxalates can be absorbed into your system and potentially damage your kidneys.

One case of kidney inflammation has been reported in a child who consumed wild sorrel. Additionally, some people may experience allergic reactions if they're sensitive to weed pollen, and when combined with other herbs, sorrel has caused nausea and an unpleasant aftertaste in a few reports.

Little safety data exists for medicinal or concentrated amounts, so it's best to avoid this supplement while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Sorrel

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 — Sorrel.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 169 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 your exact medications before taking this product if you use blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs, or if you take fexofenadine or other drugs transported through OATP carriers. Because sorrel may reduce how well your body absorbs many of these medications, your doctor or pharmacist needs to know you're using it.

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.

Sheep Sorrel 450 mg is mainly a concern if you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or medications absorbed through OATP transporters — a large group that includes allergy medications like fexofenadine. The high oxalate content also makes it risky if you have a personal or family history of kidney problems.

If you're considering this supplement, talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you're on any prescription medications.

Sheep Sorrel3 drug types · 169 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, sorrel might cause additive effects and side effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, sorrel has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Fexofenadine (Allegra)

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of fexofenadine by reducing its absorption from the gut.
In vitro research shows that an ethanol extract of sorrel inhibits organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1A2 (OATP1A2), which transports fexofenadine from the intestine into cells. In rats, concomitant administration of sorrel extract with fexofenadine reduces oral absorption of fexofenadine and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC).

Likelihood Likely Evidence D
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Sorrel might reduce the effectiveness of OATP substrates by reducing their absorption from the gut.
In vitro research shows that sorrel inhibits OATP1A2. Theoretically it may inhibit other OATPs. The OATPs are expressed in the small intestine and liver and transport drugs into cells. Inhibition of OATP may reduce the bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Sheep Sorrel 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Sheep Sorrel 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sheep Sorrel 450 mg has a known interaction with 169 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sheep Sorrel 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.
Is sheep sorrel safe to take while breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't established for medicinal or concentrated amounts while breastfeeding. There's too little information to know either way, so it's best to avoid this supplement while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're thinking about using it.
Can this product cause allergic reactions?
Yes — if you're sensitive to weed pollen, you may experience an allergic reaction to sorrel pollen exposure. Cross-sensitivity can occur in about 19% of people allergic to weed pollen, and reactions may include allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or bronchial asthma in sensitive individuals.
What's the concern about oxalates in sorrel?
Sorrel is high in oxalates, which can be absorbed into your system in concentrated doses. These can form crystals and potentially damage your kidneys. One case of acute kidney inflammation has been reported in a child after consuming wild sorrel, so it's especially risky if you have kidney problems or a family history of them.
Does sheep sorrel actually work for bronchitis, breast cancer, or sinus problems?
The evidence isn't established yet. For bronchitis, breast cancer, and rhinosinusitis, we don't have enough reliable human trial data to say whether it works. If you're interested in using it for any of these conditions, ask your doctor what the current evidence shows.
Are there any side effects from taking this supplement?
In reports where sorrel was combined with other herbs, a small number of people experienced nausea and an unpleasant aftertaste. Because of the oxalate content, concentrated doses carry a theoretical risk of kidney damage, especially with heavy or long-term use.
