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 powder. Sheep sorrel is a plant traditionally used in herbal preparations, and this powder form delivers the whole plant material.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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 for sheep sorrel isn't established in our data. Studies have looked at its use for bronchitis, breast cancer, and rhinosinusitis (sinus inflammation), but the data we hold rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence to establish whether it works.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the research supports its use for your 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 powder form is more concentrated. The main safety concern is its high oxalate content — in larger or concentrated doses, oxalates can build up in your system and potentially damage your kidneys, a risk that increases with repeated use.

One case of acute kidney inflammation was reported in a child after consuming an unknown amount of wild sorrel. Additionally, sorrel can trigger allergic reactions — especially in people sensitive to weed pollen, where cross-reactivity may occur in up to 19% of those with pollen allergies.

When combined with other herbs, sorrel has been reported to cause nausea and an unpleasant aftertaste. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data rates sorrel as possibly safe, though concentrated supplements during breastfeeding are not well studied — discuss use with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

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 pharmacist or doctor if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — sorrel might add to their effects. Also flag any medications absorbed through the OATP system, including fexofenadine (Allegra) and many others, since sorrel may reduce how well your body absorbs them.

Use the medication search tool on this page to verify your exact drugs.

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 powder is a single-ingredient herbal product with traditional uses, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't well established in our data. Its main concern is potential interaction with blood thinners and with how your body absorbs certain medications, plus the risk of kidney issues from its oxalate content with long-term concentrated use.

Before starting, talk with your pharmacist or doctor, especially if you take blood thinners, allergy medications, or any other prescription drugs.

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.
Does sheep sorrel actually work for anything?
The evidence isn't established in our data. Research has looked at sorrel for bronchitis, breast cancer, and sinus inflammation, but we don't have reliable evidence that it's effective for any of these. Talk with your doctor about whether it's right for your specific concern.
Is it safe to use long-term?
Long-term safety isn't well established. The main concern is the sorrel's high oxalate content — in concentrated doses over time, oxalates can accumulate and potentially damage your kidneys. Stick to short-term use and discuss duration with your pharmacist or doctor.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data rates sheep sorrel as possibly safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but concentrated supplements during breastfeeding haven't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
What are the side effects?
Sorrel can trigger allergic reactions — especially in people allergic to weed pollen. When combined with other herbs, it's been reported to cause nausea and an unpleasant aftertaste. Oxalates in sorrel can also cause kidney problems if consumed in large amounts over time.
Will this interfere with my allergy medication?
Yes — sorrel can reduce how well fexofenadine (Allegra) and similar OATP-dependent drugs are absorbed. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them, and use the medication search tool on this page with your specific drugs.
