HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sweet Clover (Melilot) Herb Vanilla Flavor 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.

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: Sweet Clover Herb Glycerite Liquid Extract. Sweet clover has been used traditionally for vein and circulation concerns, though the evidence supporting those uses isn't established in our data.

The preparation includes glycerin and vanilla flavor as inactive ingredients to improve taste and shelf life.

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 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 works for chronic venous insufficiency, diabetic neuropathy, hemorrhoids, or postoperative pain — all rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate. If you're considering this product for one of those purposes, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports its use for your specific situation.

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 compound that gives it its blood-thinning and liver effects — means you should use it cautiously, especially if you have liver disease or bleeding concerns. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

In rare cases, headache has been reported with oral sweet clover. Large amounts can cause liver injury in susceptible people and, very rarely, bleeding problems — a case involving a coumarin-rich herbal tea mix (including sweet clover) led to bleeding trouble after two months of daily use, 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 taking this product, double-check your medications if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity) — sweet clover can increase bleeding risk. Also check if you're on any hepatotoxic drugs (medicines that can injure the liver), which carry a Moderate severity interaction.

Use the medication checker on this page to be sure.

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 may be worth considering if you have vein or circulation concerns and your doctor thinks it fits your situation — but the evidence supporting those uses isn't strong. If you take any blood thinner, antiplatelet drug, or medication that stresses your liver, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Don't use it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Run your medications through the checker on this page and have a conversation with your own healthcare provider before you begin.

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 Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Sweet Clover (Melilot) Herb Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sweet Clover (Melilot) Herb Vanilla Flavor 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 Vanilla Flavor 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?
No, the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know it's safe during pregnancy, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor about safer options for your situation.
Is it safe to breastfeed if I take sweet clover?
No, safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best avoided. If you're breastfeeding and considering this for a health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you and your baby.
What is sweet clover actually used for?
Traditionally, sweet clover has been used for chronic venous insufficiency, diabetic neuropathy, hemorrhoids, and postoperative pain. However, the evidence supporting these uses isn't established in our data, so effectiveness remains unclear.
Can sweet clover cause side effects?
Rare side effects include headache. In large amounts, it can cause liver injury in some people and, very rarely, bleeding problems. A case of bleeding trouble was reported with a coumarin-rich herbal tea mix containing sweet clover taken daily for two months, though it's unclear if sweet clover alone was responsible.
Why is coumarin in sweet clover a concern?
Coumarin acts like a blood thinner and can affect your liver. This is why sweet clover may increase bleeding if you take blood thinners, and why it could raise liver damage risk if you take drugs that stress the liver. Using large amounts or prolonged use raises these risks.
