HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stevia by NutraMedix

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 liquid contains one active ingredient: stevia leaf extract. Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant leaf; the extract concentrates the sweet compounds from the leaf.

The liquid also contains water and ethanol as inactive ingredients that carry the extract.

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 data we hold doesn't establish that stevia works reliably for diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight loss. Preliminary research hints stevia might help control blood sugar spikes after meals in people with type 2 diabetes, and some older studies suggest it might lower blood pressure — but other studies contradict that, and the overall evidence is too thin to call it effective for any of 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 at typical food-use amounts is generally recognized as safe. However, this product is a supplement dose rather than a food amount, and high-dose supplement safety hasn't been well studied, so use caution.

A small number of trial participants reported minor side effects like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and numbness — most resolved within the first week. Allergic reactions are rare but possible.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take lithium — stevia may raise your lithium levels. Also clear it first if you take any blood pressure medication or any diabetes medication, as stevia might intensify their effects.

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.

If you're looking for a stevia sweetener at food-use levels, purified stevia is generally well tolerated. But this is a supplement dose, and evidence for its use in diabetes, blood pressure, or weight loss isn't solid.

Most importantly, if you take lithium, any blood pressure medication, or any diabetes medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

Stevia leaf 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 NutraMedix: Common Questions

Does Stevia by NutraMedix 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.
Is stevia safe to use every day?
Purified stevia at food-use amounts is generally recognized as safe for daily use. However, this product is a supplement dose, and long-term safety data for high-dose supplements isn't well established — so talk to your pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for stevia supplements. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding — they can weigh the specifics of your situation.
Will this help me lose weight?
We don't have reliable evidence that stevia works for weight loss. While it's a low-calorie sweetener, that alone doesn't mean supplements of it will help you shed pounds.
Can this lower my blood pressure?
Some research hints stevia might lower blood pressure slightly, but other studies say it doesn't. The evidence is too mixed to say it reliably does — and if you already take blood pressure medication, combining them could push your pressure too low.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate it well. A small number report mild bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, or numbness — but these often fade after the first week. Allergic reactions are rare.
Does this product have added fillers or binders?
The liquid contains water and ethanol as inactive ingredients to deliver the stevia extract — there are no other fillers or binders listed.
