HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sheep Sorrel Powder 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 a single active ingredient: sheep sorrel powder. Sorrel is a leafy plant traditionally used in herbal preparations, and it's the only component listed — there are no other active ingredients or fillers in this formula.

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.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish how well sheep sorrel works for any condition. For bronchitis, breast cancer, and rhinosinusitis (sinus inflammation), the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the research supports its use.

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 as a food in typical amounts, but concentrated doses raise concerns. The plant is high in oxalates — compounds that, when absorbed in large quantities, may damage your kidneys and potentially cause kidney stones (lithiasis).

A case of kidney inflammation (tubulointerstitial nephritis) was reported in a child who consumed wild sorrel; the child recovered after supportive care. Gastrointestinal side effects like nausea and aftertaste have also been reported when sorrel was used with other herbs.

Some people with weed pollen allergies may react to sorrel pollen or develop cross-sensitivity.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — sorrel may increase their effects. Also confirm if you take fexofenadine (Allegra) or other medications that rely on intestinal transporters for absorption; sorrel may reduce how well they work.

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.

This product is a single-ingredient sheep sorrel powder. It may be worth considering if you're drawn to traditional herbal use, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data.

If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or fexofenadine, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it. Concentrated doses raise concerns about kidney health, especially over time.

Sheep Sorrel powder3 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 Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Sheep Sorrel Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sheep Sorrel Powder 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 Powder 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 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
The safety data rates it as possibly safe during pregnancy and lactation, but medicinal or concentrated amounts haven't been proven safe — food amounts are likely fine. Since safety data for supplemental use is limited, especially while breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.
What are the side effects I might notice?
In studies combining sorrel with other herbs, nausea and an unpleasant aftertaste were reported. If you're allergic to weed pollen, you may react to sorrel pollen. The biggest concern is kidney damage from the oxalate content in concentrated doses — a rare case of kidney inflammation was reported in a child.
Does sheep sorrel actually work for bronchitis, cancer, or sinus problems?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish how well it works for any of those conditions. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for bronchitis, breast cancer, or rhinosinusitis. If you're thinking about using it for a specific condition, ask your doctor whether there's research to support it.
What is sheep sorrel and why is it in this product?
Sheep sorrel is a leafy plant used in traditional herbal preparations. This powder form contains just the sorrel itself with no fillers or other active ingredients added.
Is there anything in this product besides the sorrel powder?
No — this is a single-ingredient product. There are no fillers, binders, or other inactive ingredients listed.
