HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tarragon Leaf 450 mg 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: tarragon leaf at 450 mg per capsule. Tarragon is an herb traditionally used in cooking and herbal medicine.

The capsule also holds gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Tarragon product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tarragon'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 tarragon's effectiveness isn't established in our data. Studies we reviewed found insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it helps with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) — nausea and vomiting that occurs after surgery.

If you're considering tarragon for a specific condition, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tarragon

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.

Food amounts of tarragon are generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts and essential oils warrant caution because of a compound called estragole they contain. No adverse effects have been formally reported in trials, though a full safety evaluation hasn't been done.

There is animal-based concern that long-term estragole consumption may raise cancer risk, but this hasn't been shown in humans. During pregnancy, medicinal or concentrated amounts should be avoided; food amounts are likely fine, though data are limited.

While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using medicinal amounts.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tarragon

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 — Tarragon.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 359 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 whether you're on monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs), or central nervous system depressants like benzodiazepines, barbiturates, antihistamines, or tricyclic antidepressants. Use the search tool below to verify your medications.

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.

Tarragon leaf may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal use, but evidence of effectiveness is sparse. If you take any blood thinners, MAOIs, sedating medications, or antihistamines, check your exact prescriptions with the tool on this page before starting.

Tarragon3 drug types · 359 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, tarragon might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Evidence from animal research suggests that tarragon essential oil can cause sedation and motor impairment when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mL/kg. Theoretically, concomitant use of tarragon with CNS depressants, including antihistamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants, may increase sedative and other adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

In vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and MAO-B enzymes. Theoretically, concomitant use with MAOIs might increase the effects and adverse effects associated with MAOIs.
