HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tangerine Fruit 4:1 Extract 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

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: Tangerine Fruit Extract in a 4:1 powder form, meaning the extract has been concentrated. There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

The extract is derived from tangerine fruit and retains the compounds—including tangeretin—that make tangerines what they are.

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 Tangerine product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tangerine'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 whether this product works for any health condition. Our data rates tangerine for cancer as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

If you're considering this supplement for a specific reason, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the science supports its use for your particular situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tangerine

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.

Tangerine fruit is generally well tolerated when eaten as food. However, our safety data advises caution with concentrated extracts and supplements—the same form this product is in.

The concentrated extract hasn't been studied as thoroughly as the whole fruit, so safety outcomes aren't fully characterized. Very few adverse effects have been reported with medicinal use of tangerine, though a complete safety evaluation hasn't been done.

Topically, tangerine essential oil has caused contact dermatitis in some people. Our data does not include pregnancy or lactation safety information for this ingredient.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tangerine

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Tangerine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 646 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.

Check with your own doctor or pharmacist before adding this product if you take midazolam (Versed) or any other drug metabolized by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme—that includes many sedatives, blood pressure medications, statins, and others. The human evidence suggests real-world risk is lower than laboratory findings implied, but it's still worth confirming your specific medications are in the clear.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you eat tangerines regularly, you're fine—the fruit itself is safe. But moving to a concentrated extract is a different story, and the evidence for what it actually does for your health isn't established in our data.

Before you start, check with your own doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take any medications your liver processes, and discuss whether this supplement makes sense for what you're hoping to accomplish.

For each ingredient in Tangerine Fruit 4:1 Extract Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Tangerine Fruit Extract, Powder2 drug types · 645 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

In vitro, tangeretin, a constituent of tangerine, induces a 52% increase in the metabolism of midazolam by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). This suggests that tangeretin may stimulate CYP3A4 activity. However, in humans, drinking tangerine juice 200 mL slightly delayed the absorption, but did not affect the metabolism, of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate. Theoretically, tangerine juice might increase CYP3A4 activity and decrease levels of drugs metabolized by this enzyme. However, this effect is unlikely.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include amitriptyline (Elavil), amiodarone (Cordarone), citalopram (Celexa), felodipine (Plendil), lansoprazole (Prevacid), ondansetron (Zofran), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), sertraline (Zoloft), sibutramine (Meridia), and many others.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Midazolam (Versed)

In vitro, tangeretin, a constituent of tangerine, appears to increase the metabolism of midazolam in human liver microsomes by up to 52%. However, in humans, drinking tangerine juice 200 mL slightly delayed the absorption, but did not affect the metabolism, of midazolam. Theoretically, tangerine juice might increase the metabolism and reduce the effects of midazolam. However, this effect is unlikely.

Tangerine Fruit 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Tangerine Fruit 4:1 Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tangerine Fruit 4:1 Extract Powder has a known interaction with 645 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tangerine Fruit 4:1 Extract 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.
Is tangerine extract safe to take if I eat tangerines regularly?
Eating tangerines as food is safe, but a concentrated extract supplement is different and hasn't been studied as well. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether adding a concentrated form makes sense for you.
What does this extract actually do?
Our data doesn't establish that it works for any particular health condition. The evidence for cancer is rated as insufficient to evaluate. If you're looking for a specific benefit, your doctor or pharmacist can help you weigh whether the science supports it.
Can I use this if I take sedatives like midazolam?
In lab tests, tangerine compounds appeared to speed up how your body processes midazolam, but human studies of tangerine juice showed that didn't actually happen. Still, check with your pharmacist or doctor about your particular dose and medications before you start, especially since this is a concentrated extract.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Very few adverse effects have been reported with tangerine supplements, but a complete safety evaluation hasn't been done. If you apply tangerine essential oil directly to skin, it can cause contact dermatitis in some people, though this product is taken orally.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Our data doesn't include safety information for this ingredient during pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing—they can give you personalized advice based on your situation.
