HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tangerine Fruit 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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 at 450 mg per capsule in a 4:1 concentration, meaning it's made from four parts of tangerine fruit reduced to one part extract. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.

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 for tangerine fruit extract against cancer is insufficient to rate — meaning we don't have reliable data showing it works for that purpose. If you're considering this supplement for a specific health reason, check with your doctor or pharmacist about what the science actually supports.

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.

Eating tangerine as food is generally well tolerated. However, concentrated extracts like this supplement haven't been studied as thoroughly as the whole fruit, so the safety profile is less clear.

The product facts note that concentrated supplements and essential oils should be used with medical advice. Very few adverse effects have been reported with medicinal use of tangerine, but a complete safety evaluation hasn't been done.

Topically, tangerine essential oil has been linked to contact dermatitis in some people.

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 the following medication types before starting this product: cytochrome P450 3A4 substrates (a very large group that includes sedatives, some heart drugs, immunosuppressants, and many others) and midazolam (Versed). Your own healthcare provider or pharmacist can confirm whether any of your specific drugs fall into these categories and whether the dose matters.

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.

TerraVita Premium Collection Tangerine Fruit Extract is a concentrated supplement with limited real-world interaction data — lab studies raised questions, but human studies didn't confirm them. Before adding it to your routine, check with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take sedatives or other medications your liver processes.

They can help you weigh the uncertain benefits against any individual risks.

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.
