HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Strawberry 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

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 strawberry (Fragaria vesca) dried leaf liquid extract. The inactive ingredient is menstruum, a liquid base used to create the extract.

Strawberry leaf has been used traditionally to support various aspects of health, though the evidence for specific benefits remains limited in the data we hold.

Does it work?

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 Strawberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Strawberry'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 strawberry extract isn't established in our data. The product's label notes uses for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, but the effectiveness ratings we have show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these conditions.

That doesn't mean it's ineffective — it means rigorous clinical trials haven't yet been done or published widely enough to draw firm conclusions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Strawberry

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 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.

Strawberry fruit itself is widely eaten and considered safe in normal food amounts. When taken as a concentrated supplement, though, it's less well studied.

The extract appears generally well tolerated in medicinal doses, though rarely it has caused nausea — one clinical trial found this in some participants taking 50 grams daily of freeze-dried strawberry powder. Allergic reactions are rare but possible, including oral allergy syndrome, skin reactions, and contact dermatitis if applied topically.

We don't have safety data on file for strawberry in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Because this is a concentrated supplement rather than food, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be.

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 — Strawberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 316 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 your medications if you take p-glycoprotein substrate drugs or blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin, clopidogrel, or warfarin). Strawberry extract may affect how these work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Strawberry leaf extract may appeal to you if you're interested in traditional herbal support for heart or metabolic health, but the evidence for those uses isn't firm yet. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or certain other medications that rely on p-glycoprotein, check with your pharmacist first — strawberry can interact with these.

Rare allergic reactions are possible, and pregnant or nursing parents should talk with their pharmacist before use.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

In vitro and animal research suggests that strawberry extract can inhibit platelet aggregation due to its phenolic content. Theoretically, strawberry might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

In vitro research suggests that strawberry extract can inhibit p-glycoprotein efflux. Theoretically, strawberry might inhibit p-glycoprotein mediated drug efflux and potentially increase levels of drugs that are substrates of p-glycoprotein. Until more is known, strawberry should be used cautiously in people taking p-glycoprotein substrates.
Drugs that might be affected include some chemotherapeutic agents (etoposide, paclitaxel, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine), antifungals (ketoconazole, itraconazole), protease inhibitors (amprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir), H2 antagonists (cimetidine, ranitidine), some calcium channel blockers (diltiazem, verapamil), corticosteroids, erythromycin, cisapride (Propulsid), fexofenadine (Allegra), cyclosporine, loperamide (Imodium), quinidine, and others.

Strawberry by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Strawberry by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Strawberry has a known interaction with 316 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Strawberry 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 strawberry extract thin my blood?
Lab and animal research suggests strawberry extract may reduce platelet clumping. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel, this is a Moderate severity concern — talk with your pharmacist before adding this supplement.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for concentrated strawberry supplements in pregnancy or while nursing. Strawberry fruit is fine in normal amounts, but a concentrated extract hasn't been studied enough. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does this actually help with heart disease or diabetes?
The evidence isn't established in our data. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate strawberry for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. It may help, but rigorous clinical trials haven't firmly shown it yet.
What are the side effects?
Strawberry extract is generally well tolerated. Rarely, it's caused nausea, allergic reactions (including oral allergy syndrome and skin reactions), and contact dermatitis when applied to skin. True allergy to strawberry appears uncommon.
Is this the same as eating strawberries?
No — this is a concentrated liquid extract of dried strawberry leaf, not the fruit. Strawberry fruit is safe in normal food amounts, but we know less about concentrated supplement doses, especially over the long term.
