HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sleep Support 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This powder blend contains 7 ingredients total. The active components are passionflower, spearmint, linden sapwood, blueberry, chamomile, orange, and poppy—all in powdered form.

There are no inactive ingredients listed; the product is pure powdered plant material.

Does it work?

Moderate 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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Sleep support and relaxation.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Anxiety, Stress, Adjustment disorders, Sleep quality, Restlessness — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Passion Flower is rated "Possibly Effective" for Pre-procedural anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Passion Flower is rated "Possibly Effective" for Insomnia.
  • Also on file: Passion Flower is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Adjustment disorders, Stress.

Passionflower in this blend is possibly effective for insomnia and pre-procedural anxiety based on available evidence. For the other ingredients, the evidence doesn't establish effectiveness: spearmint, linden, blueberry, chamomile, orange, and poppy all lack sufficient reliable data to rate them for sleep support or related uses in our records.

That doesn't mean they're ineffective—just that the evidence we hold isn't conclusive.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Spearmint Linden Blueberry Passion Flower

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Passionflower is generally well tolerated short-term but commonly causes drowsiness, and it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to lack of safety data. Spearmint is well tolerated when taken orally in food amounts, but concentrated supplements need caution and doctor approval; allergic reactions are possible.

Blueberry powder is generally safe (it's widely eaten as food), though freeze-dried forms may cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting in some people. Linden is generally well tolerated as a tea, but human safety data are limited.

We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for passionflower, spearmint, linden, or poppy; blueberry is rated likely safe in pregnancy.

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?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Linden, Spearmint, Passion Flower, Blueberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,083 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.

Double-check this product before starting if you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications, opioids)—passionflower and spearmint can add to their effects. If you're on lithium, hepatotoxic drugs (liver-stressing medications), antidiabetes drugs, buspirone, or flurbiprofen, use the medication checker below with your exact prescription.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking to support sleep and aren't on any medications that interact with CNS depressants, lithium, or diabetes drugs, this could be worth trying—passionflower has solid evidence for insomnia. Because this blend contains multiple sedating ingredients, it's not for daytime use, and it'll make you drowsy.

Check your exact medications with the tool below, and talk to your pharmacist if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver concerns.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Sleep Support Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Passionflower, Powder3 drug types · 836 drugs

Cns Depressants

Concomitant use of passion flower with sedative drugs might cause additive effects and side effects.
Research in animals and humans shows that passion flower has sedative effects which can be additive when used with sedative medications like lorazepam.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, passion flower might decrease the effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that passion flower can induce CYP3A4 enzymes, albeit to a much lower degree than rifampin, a known CYP3A4 inducer.

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

Theoretically, passion flower might reduce the bioavailability of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the passion flower constituents apigenin and vitexin inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2. This inhibition may be dose-dependent. One specific high-flavonoid passion flower extract (Valverde) seems to inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2, while another extract with a lower flavonoid concentration (Arkocaps) shows less potent inhibition. OATPs are responsible for the uptake of drugs and other compounds into the body; however, the specific activities of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 are not well characterized.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Passionflower, Powder full monograph & interactions

Spearmint, Powder2 drug types · 579 drugs

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, spearmint might alter the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Animal research suggests that (-)-carvone, a major constituent of spearmint, has sedative effects. However, in humans, chewing spearmint-flavored gum induced arousal effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, high doses of spearmint might increase the risk of liver damage when taken with hepatotoxic drugs.
Animal research suggests that drinking spearmint tea for 30 days can increase markers of liver damage, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and cause liver degeneration and necrosis, in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Spearmint, Powder full monograph & interactions

Blueberry, Powder3 drug types · 88 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, blueberries or blueberry leaf extracts might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vitro research suggests that blueberry and/or blueberry leaf extracts can lower blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Buspirone (Buspar)

Theoretically, blueberry juice might increase blood levels of buspirone.
In vitro research shows that blueberry juice can inhibit the metabolism of buspirone, possibly by inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzymes. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking 300 mL of blueberry juice 30 minutes before taking buspirone hydrochloride 10 mg does not significantly affect the concentration or clearance of buspirone.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Flurbiprofen (Ansaid, Others)

Theoretically, blueberry juice might increase blood levels of flurbiprofen.
In vitro research shows that blueberry juice can inhibit the metabolism of flurbiprofen, possibly by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) enzymes. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking 300 mL of blueberry juice 30 minutes before taking flurbiprofen 100 mg does not significantly affect the concentration or clearance of flurbiprofen.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Blueberry, Powder full monograph & interactions

Linden Sapwood, Powder1 drug type · 1 drug

Lithium

Theoretically, due to its potential diuretic effects, linden might increase the effects and adverse effects of lithium.
Linden is thought to have diuretic properties. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Sleep Support Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Sleep Support Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sleep Support Powder has a known interaction with 1,082 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sleep Support Powder contains 7 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Will this make me drowsy?
Yes—drowsiness is a documented effect of passionflower, one of the main ingredients. That's intentional for a sleep product, but it means don't take it before driving or operating machinery.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Passionflower, spearmint, linden, and poppy have no safety data on file for pregnancy, and passionflower should be avoided in pregnancy. Blueberry is rated likely safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product while pregnant.
Is this safe to breastfeed on?
We have no safety data for passionflower or most other ingredients while breastfeeding—passionflower is best avoided. Speak with your pharmacist before taking this during breastfeeding.
What does passionflower actually do?
Passionflower is possibly effective for insomnia and pre-procedural anxiety. It works partly by having sedative effects in the body, which is why drowsiness is common.
Could this upset my stomach?
Blueberry powder, especially if freeze-dried, can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting in some people. In one trial, a quarter of participants taking freeze-dried blueberries dropped out in the first week due to digestive complaints.
Can I take this with my blood pressure or antifungal medications?
We have no documented interactions between this product and blood pressure or antifungal drugs. Still, use the medication checker below to verify your exact medications, or ask your pharmacist.
