HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sweet Clover Herb (Melilot) 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.

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: sweet clover powder (also called melilot). Sweet clover is an herb traditionally used for conditions like chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids, diabetic nerve pain, and postoperative pain, though the evidence for these uses isn't well established in the data we hold.

The powder form contains no inactive ingredients.

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 Sweet Clover product and its label doesn't state a use — see Sweet Clover'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 sweet clover's effectiveness isn't established in our data. The product has been used traditionally for chronic venous insufficiency, diabetic nerve pain, hemorrhoids, and postoperative pain, but reliable studies backing these uses are lacking.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this herb is appropriate for your specific condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Clover

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.

Sweet clover is generally used in small amounts, but its coumarin content—the same compound found in blood thinners—means you need to be cautious. Large amounts can cause temporary liver injury in susceptible people and, rarely, headache or stupor.

One case report linked coumarin-containing herbs (sweet clover among them) to a bleeding disorder after two months of use, though it's unclear whether sweet clover alone was responsible. Sweet clover should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding—there isn't enough safety information to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Sweet Clover

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 — Sweet Clover.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 481 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.

Before you take this, double-check any blood thinner or antiplatelet drug you're on—sweet clover's coumarin content raises bleeding risk (Moderate severity). Also flag any medication known to damage the liver; sweet clover may increase that risk too (Moderate severity).

Your pharmacist can help you search your specific medications on this page.

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.

Sweet clover is a single-herb powder used traditionally for circulation and nerve pain, but the evidence for these uses isn't established. Because it contains blood-thinning compounds and can stress the liver, anyone taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, or liver-damaging medications should check their exact prescriptions with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Skip it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Sweet Clover, Powder2 drug types · 480 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, fresh sweet clover might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Fresh sweet clover contains coumarinic acids, which are converted to free coumarins during drying. Dicoumarol, which has anticoagulant activity, also has been found in some sweet clover preparations and can be formed if fresh sweet clover is allowed to spoil.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of sweet clover with hepatoxic drugs might increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.
Orally, large amounts of sweet clover can cause transient liver injury in susceptible individuals, possibly due to coumarin content. In one case report, a patient with multiple sclerosis developed jaundiced palms and a slight elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) after taking sweet clover containing coumarin 10 mg daily for 3 years. Two weeks after starting therapy with subcutaneous interferon (IFN)-beta 1b, aspartate transaminase (AST) and ALT levels increased to 7 and 17 times the upper limit of normal, respectively. Levels normalized after discontinuation of both products. Subsequent use of IFN-beta 1a alone, without sweet clover, resulted in only a very slight increase in AST.

Sweet Clover Herb (Melilot) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Sweet Clover Herb (Melilot) Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sweet Clover Herb (Melilot) Powder has a known interaction with 480 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sweet Clover Herb (Melilot) 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.
Can I take sweet clover if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Not enough safety information is available, so it's best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
What is sweet clover actually used for?
It's been used traditionally for chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs), diabetic nerve pain, hemorrhoids, and postoperative pain. However, reliable evidence supporting these uses isn't established in our data.
Is sweet clover safe for the liver?
Large amounts can cause temporary liver injury in susceptible people, possibly due to its coumarin content. A case report documented liver enzyme elevation in someone taking 10 mg of coumarin daily. Use cautiously and avoid if you're already taking medications that stress the liver.
Can sweet clover increase bleeding risk?
Yes. Fresh sweet clover contains compounds that convert to free coumarins—including dicoumarol, which has blood-thinning activity. If you take any blood thinner or antiplatelet drug, check with your pharmacist before starting sweet clover.
Are there any side effects from sweet clover?
Headache has been reported rarely. Large amounts can cause liver injury or stupor. One case linked coumarin-containing herbs (including sweet clover) to a bleeding disorder after two months of daily use, though it's unclear if sweet clover alone was responsible.
