HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stevia Extract (90% Steviosides) 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

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: stevia extract powder, standardized to 90% steviosides. Steviosides are the naturally sweet compounds from the stevia plant that give it its sweetening power.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

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 hold on stevia for blood sugar control, blood pressure, and weight is insufficient to say whether it works for these uses. While some small studies suggest stevia extract might slightly lower blood sugar after meals in people with type 2 diabetes, other research doesn't show a significant effect on blood pressure in people with hypertension.

We don't have enough reliable data to rate it for any of these purposes.

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 in the amounts typically used as a sweetener in food is generally well tolerated. Most people who take it don't have problems, and any minor side effects (like headache, dizziness, nausea, bloating, muscle aches, or numbness) tend to resolve within the first week.

Rare allergic reactions have been reported. Because this product is a supplement dose rather than a small food amount, safety data is more limited — use caution and watch how you feel when you start.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Stevia

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, blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), or diabetes medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this stevia product. The moderate risk with lithium and the minor risks with blood pressure and diabetes drugs mean you need personalized advice before combining them.

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 extract is generally well tolerated in most people, but it's not a good fit if you take lithium, blood pressure medications, or diabetes drugs without checking first. The evidence that it actually improves blood sugar or blood pressure is weak.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product makes sense for you alongside your other medications.

Stevia Extract, Powder3 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 Extract (90% Steviosides) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Stevia Extract (90% Steviosides) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Stevia Extract (90% Steviosides) Powder 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 Extract (90% Steviosides) 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.
Will stevia help me lower my blood sugar or blood pressure?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say. Some small studies suggest stevia might slightly lower blood sugar after meals in people with type 2 diabetes, but other research hasn't found a clear effect on blood pressure in people with hypertension.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most common ones are mild: headache, dizziness, nausea, bloating, muscle aches, and numbness. These typically go away within the first week. Allergic reactions are rare but have been reported. Stop and contact your doctor if anything feels off.
Is this product safe to use if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data we have on this supplement during pregnancy and lactation isn't on file. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you decide whether it's right for you.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
The interactions aren't with the stevia itself directly — they come from how it might affect your blood pressure, blood sugar, or how your kidneys handle minerals like lithium. That's why the same stevia extract can theoretically affect different types of drugs.
Is this the same as the stevia sweetener I use in my coffee?
Not quite. Food-amount stevia sweeteners are considered safe because they're small doses of purified stevia. This product is a supplement dose, and high-dose supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly, so we recommend using caution.
