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 Summer Savory product and its label doesn't state a use — see Summer Savory'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.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for summer savory in our data, so the evidence for what this extract can do isn't established in the information available to us.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Summer Savory

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 0 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.

Summer savory is likely safe in food-seasoning amounts, but medicinal amounts and the concentrated essential oil have not been well studied. The safety data advises against using medicinal amounts during pregnancy because safety has not been established.

Food amounts are likely fine, but concentrated supplements should be avoided due to lack of safety data. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and considering this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Summer Savory by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Summer Savory by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Summer Savory has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Summer Savory 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.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against medicinal amounts of summer savory during pregnancy because safety hasn't been established. Food amounts used in cooking are likely fine, but this concentrated supplement should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Is summer savory the same as the herb I use in the kitchen?
It's the same plant (Satureja hortensis), but this product is a concentrated liquid extract — much stronger than a pinch of dried seasoning. The safety data distinguishes between food amounts and medicinal amounts, so don't assume cooking doses apply here.
What does summer savory actually do?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for this extract, so we can't tell you what it's meant to help with based on our information. If you have questions about its intended use, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
I'm on aspirin. Can I take this?
Aspirin is a blood thinner, and summer savory extract may increase bleeding risk when combined with it. Before starting this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist — they can weigh the risk against any benefit for your situation.
What's menstruum?
Menstruum is a liquid (usually alcohol or another solvent) used to extract the active compounds from the herb so you can take it as a liquid supplement rather than whole dried leaf. It's an inactive ingredient.
