HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Spearmint Extract powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com

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

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: spearmint leaf extract at 500 mg per serving. The only other ingredient is dextrin, an inactive filler used to carry the spearmint powder.

There's nothing else in the capsule.

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 Spearmint product and its label doesn't state a use — see Spearmint'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 spearmint extract isn't established for any of the uses we hold data on. Our data rates it insufficient evidence for age-related cognitive decline, cognitive function, flatulence, irritable bowel syndrome, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and osteoarthritis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies either aren't there or aren't strong enough yet to know either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Spearmint

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.

Spearmint is generally well tolerated when you take it by mouth. The main concern with this concentrated extract — as opposed to spearmint tea or food — is that we have limited reliable data on safety at supplement doses, so caution is warranted.

Allergic reactions are possible; spearmint can cause allergic skin reactions, swelling of the throat or mouth, and in rare cases, a skin condition called oral lichen planus. One person in a clinical trial reported anxiety after taking 600 mg daily, though it's unclear whether spearmint caused it.

We hold no pregnancy or breastfeeding data for spearmint.

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 — Spearmint.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 580 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 taking this if you use CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anxiety medications) or hepatotoxic drugs (liver-stressing medications) — both are Moderate-severity concerns. The checker below can tell you whether your specific drugs are affected.

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.

Spearmint extract is a single-ingredient supplement with limited evidence for the conditions it's marketed for. If you take sedatives, sleep aids, or medications that stress your liver, check with us or your pharmacist before starting — the interaction data shows real caution is needed.

People with spearmint allergies should avoid it altogether.

Spearmint Leaf Extract2 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.

Spearmint Extract powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Spearmint Extract powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Spearmint Extract powder 500 mg has a known interaction with 579 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Spearmint Extract powder 500 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.
Will this help with brain fog or memory?
The evidence isn't established yet. We hold insufficient data to say whether spearmint extract works for age-related cognitive decline or everyday cognitive function — it might, but we don't have the studies to back it up.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on spearmint for pregnancy or breastfeeding, so there isn't enough information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
Is this just spearmint, or does it have other stuff mixed in?
It's spearmint leaf extract plus dextrin (a filler to make the powder work). That's it — one active ingredient and one inactive one.
Are there any side effects from taking this?
Spearmint taken by mouth is generally well tolerated, though allergic reactions can happen — skin rashes, mouth swelling, or throat swelling. One person reported anxiety at 600 mg daily, but we can't be sure spearmint caused it.
Why do I need to check my medications with this?
Spearmint extract as a concentrated supplement may theoretically change how your sedatives and sleep aids work, and might raise the risk of liver damage if you're on medications that stress your liver. Your exact drugs may or may not be affected — that's why the checker matters.
