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.

TerraVita Premium Collection Tangerine Fruit Powder contains one active ingredient: tangerine powder. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Tangerine is a citrus fruit, and this powder form concentrates its compounds, including flavonoids like tangeretin.

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.

For cancer, the evidence we hold rates tangerine as having insufficient reliable data to say whether it works. This product isn't labeled or studied for any other health claim in our data.

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 itself is generally well tolerated when eaten as food — very few adverse effects have been reported. However, concentrated supplements and essential oils warrant caution and medical advice; safety of those forms hasn't been thoroughly studied.

Topically, tangerine essential oil has been linked to contact dermatitis in case reports. We hold no pregnancy or lactation safety data for tangerine on file.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take midazolam (Versed) or other medications processed through the CYP3A4 enzyme system in your liver — this includes many sedatives, statins, blood thinners, and immunosuppressants. Tangerine powder may slow how quickly your body clears these drugs, though human evidence is limited.

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're looking to add tangerine as a food source, this powder is generally well tolerated. If you take medications, especially sedatives or other drugs cleared by your liver, check your exact list with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interaction potential is real in theory, but less clear in humans.

This product is not proven effective for any health condition based on our data.

Tangerine, 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 by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Tangerine Fruit by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tangerine Fruit 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 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 powder safe to eat?
Yes, tangerine fruit is generally well tolerated as food with very few reported side effects. However, the facts note that concentrated supplements and essential oils should be used with medical advice — safety of those forms isn't as well studied as the fruit itself.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't hold pregnancy or lactation safety data for tangerine on file. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this powder is right for you during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Does tangerine powder help with cancer?
The evidence we have rates tangerine as insufficient to say whether it works for cancer. This product is not proven for that use based on our data.
What is tangeretin, and why does it matter?
Tangeretin is a flavonoid (a natural plant compound) found in tangerine. It's important because lab studies suggested it might speed up how your liver breaks down certain medications like midazolam, though human studies haven't confirmed that effect actually happens.
Can tangerine powder cause side effects?
Very few side effects have been reported with tangerine fruit itself. However, tangerine essential oil applied to skin has been linked to contact dermatitis in case reports — that's a concern for oils and topical use, not the powder you eat.
