HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stevia by Herbal Terra

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: certified organic stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) dried leaf as a liquid extract. It's a zero-calorie sweetener derived from the stevia plant.

The only other ingredient listed is menstruum, which is the liquid used to extract and concentrate the stevia.

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 Stevia product and its label doesn't state a use — see Stevia'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 have on stevia for diabetes, high blood pressure, and weight loss is insufficient to make a reliable claim about how well it works. Some preliminary studies suggest stevia extract may help lower blood sugar after meals in people with type 2 diabetes, and that stevia constituents might lower blood pressure in people with hypertension — but other research doesn't back that up consistently.

We don't hold enough data to say whether it's effective for these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stevia

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.

Purified stevia used in food amounts is generally recognized as safe. However, this product is a supplement-dose liquid extract, not a food additive, and high-dose supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly — so use caution.

When taken by mouth, stevia and its active compounds appear to be well tolerated overall, with most people experiencing no problems or only minor ones. The most common side effects are abdominal bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness; these usually resolve after the first week.

Rare allergic reactions have been reported. We don't have safety data on file for stevia during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 — Stevia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 259 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.

If you take lithium, do not start this product without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first — stevia may raise lithium levels. Also double-check before using it alongside blood pressure medications or diabetes drugs, where the effects are less certain but documented in the data.

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.

Stevia is a plant-based zero-calorie sweetener generally well tolerated at food levels. If you take lithium, blood pressure medication, or diabetes medication, check this product with your pharmacist first — the interactions may matter for your specific situation.

Otherwise, it's worth a conversation if you have questions about side effects or use during pregnancy.

certified organic Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) dried leaf liquid extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Stevia by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Stevia by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Stevia has a known interaction with 259 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Stevia 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 stevia lower my blood pressure or blood sugar?
The evidence isn't clear. Some early research hints that stevia might help with both, but other studies don't show the same effect, so we can't reliably say it will. If you're on diabetes or blood pressure medication, that's another reason to check with your pharmacist before adding this.
What are the most common side effects?
Abdominal bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, nausea, and numbness show up most often. The good news is that most of these tend to go away after the first week of use.
Can I use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data on file for stevia during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
Is this different from stevia sweetener I use in my coffee?
Yes. This is a supplement-dose liquid extract, much more concentrated than the small amounts of purified stevia used in food and beverages. Food amounts are generally recognized as safe, but high-dose supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly, so use caution.
Can I take this with my lithium?
No — not without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first. Stevia may interfere with how your body clears lithium, potentially raising it to unsafe levels. This is the most serious interaction documented for this product.
What's menstruum in the ingredient list?
Menstruum is the liquid used to extract and concentrate the stevia from the plant — it's an inactive ingredient that helps deliver the active stevia to you.
