HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sweet Clover (Melilot) Herb by TerraVita

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 Herb Glycerite Liquid Extract, delivered in a liquid form using glycerin as the carrier. Sweet clover has been studied traditionally for vein and circulation support, though the evidence 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 we hold does not establish that sweet clover relieves chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs), diabetic nerve pain, hemorrhoids, or postoperative pain. For all these uses, the data rates as insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That does not mean it doesn't work — it means the research isn't strong enough yet to say either way.

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 that gives it potential blood-thinning effects — can cause problems in large doses. In susceptible people, large amounts have triggered liver injury; one case involved a 23-year-old with multiple sclerosis who developed yellowing of the palms and elevated liver enzymes after taking 10 mg of coumarin daily.

Headache is rare but has been reported, and very large doses can cause drowsiness or stupor. There isn't enough safety data to use this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided in those situations.

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

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 start, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and others) — fresh sweet clover may increase bleeding risk. Also confirm any medications that affect your liver, since large amounts of sweet clover have caused liver injury in some people.

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 Herb Glycerite Liquid Extract is best for people interested in traditional circulatory support who don't take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or medications that stress the liver. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any of those drug types, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

Because coumarin levels vary between preparations, checking your medications first is important.

Sweet Clover Herb Glycerite Liquid Extract2 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 (Melilot) Herb by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Sweet Clover (Melilot) Herb by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sweet Clover (Melilot) Herb 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 (Melilot) Herb 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 if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
No — fresh sweet clover contains compounds that may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take any such medication.
Is this safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. The safety data advises against use in both pregnancy and breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
What does sweet clover do?
Traditionally, sweet clover has been used to support circulation and vein health, particularly for conditions like leg swelling from poor circulation, diabetic nerve pain, and hemorrhoids. However, we don't have strong enough evidence yet to confirm these benefits.
Can large amounts cause problems?
Yes. Large doses of sweet clover have caused liver injury in susceptible people and, in rare cases, bleeding problems. Very large amounts can also cause drowsiness. Stick to recommended doses and avoid prolonged use of high amounts.
What's the difference between fresh and dried sweet clover?
Fresh sweet clover contains coumarinic acids that convert to free coumarins (blood-thinning compounds) when the herb is dried. This means dried preparations have different and potentially stronger anticoagulant effects than fresh.
