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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 17, 2026

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, a traditional herb. There are no other active ingredients — the product is the herb powder itself with no inactive fillers or binders listed.

Sweet clover has been used in herbal practice for circulation and vein health, though the evidence for its effectiveness remains limited.

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 isn't established for sweet clover's effectiveness at any of its traditional uses. The data we hold rates its use for chronic venous insufficiency (sluggish circulation in the legs), diabetic nerve pain, hemorrhoids, and postoperative pain all as insufficient reliable evidence to rate — meaning there's not enough solid data to say whether it works for these conditions.

You'd want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's the right choice for what you're dealing with.

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 it can affect bleeding and liver function, so use it cautiously. The safety data advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know either way.

Large amounts can cause liver injury in some people, particularly those taking it long-term; one case involved a patient who developed yellowed palms and elevated liver enzymes. Although rare, headache has been reported with oral use, and very large amounts may cause drowsiness or stupor.

One report documented bleeding problems after two months of a multi-herb tea containing sweet clover and other coumarin-containing herbs, though it's unclear whether sweet clover alone was responsible.

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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — fresh sweet clover may increase bleeding risk. Also confirm if you take any medication that affects your liver, as large amounts of sweet clover can theoretically increase hepatotoxicity risk.

No interactions are documented for other drug types in our data.

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 might be worth considering if you're exploring herbal support for circulation, but the evidence for it isn't strong yet. You'll want to be especially careful if you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or liver-sensitive medications — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Because of its coumarin content and potential effects on bleeding and the liver, it's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Sweet Clover, Powder2 drug types · 482 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 482 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 on warfarin or another blood thinner?
No, you should not take this without talking to your doctor first. Fresh sweet clover contains coumarin compounds that can increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin. Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Does sweet clover actually work for varicose veins or leg swelling?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say. Sweet clover is traditionally used for chronic venous insufficiency — sluggish circulation in the legs — but we rate that use as having insufficient reliable evidence. Your doctor can talk with you about whether it's worth trying alongside proven treatments.
Is it safe to take sweet clover in large amounts?
No, it's best used in small amounts. Large amounts can cause transient liver injury in susceptible people, and one documented case involved a patient who developed yellowed palms and elevated liver enzymes after taking a supplement containing 10 mg of coumarin daily. Headache and drowsiness have also been reported with larger doses.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether sweet clover is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What is coumarin, and why does it matter?
Coumarin is a naturally occurring compound in sweet clover that acts like a blood thinner. It's the same type of compound used in prescription anticoagulants, which is why sweet clover can increase bleeding risk and affect your liver — especially in large amounts.
