HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tarragon Leaf 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: Tarragon Leaf Glycerite Liquid Extract. Tarragon is an herb traditionally used for nausea and digestive support.

The extract is prepared in glycerin, which is also listed as an inactive ingredient — a carrier that helps preserve and deliver the herb.

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 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 in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (nausea after surgery) is insufficient to rate it reliably. We don't have solid data on how well it works for this purpose, so we can't say whether it'll help your situation.

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.

No adverse effects have been reported in the data we hold, though a full safety evaluation hasn't been completed. There is concern that long-term consumption of estragole, a compound naturally in tarragon, might raise cancer risk — but this has only been shown in animals, not people.

Concentrated extracts and essential oils should be used cautiously because of estragole content; food amounts are generally considered safe. For pregnancy, the safety data advises against medicinal or concentrated amounts, though food-level tarragon is likely fine — but data are limited.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information, so avoid 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 you start, double-check with your pharmacist if you take CNS depressants like benzodiazepines or antihistamines, blood thinners like warfarin or heparin, or MAOIs. Tarragon may interact with all three, raising sedation, bleeding risk, or MAOI side effects.

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 works best for people looking for traditional herbal support who don't take blood thinners, CNS depressants, or MAOIs. If you're on any of those drug types, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this to your routine.

Tarragon Leaf Glycerite Liquid Extract3 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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tarragon Leaf 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 tarragon safe to take while pregnant?
The safety data advises against medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy. Food amounts are likely fine, but data are limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I use this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information to know either way for medicinal amounts. To be safe, avoid medicinal doses while breastfeeding and discuss it with your pharmacist.
Does tarragon really help with nausea after surgery?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say for sure. We don't have reliable data on how well it works for postoperative nausea.
What are the side effects?
No adverse effects have been reported, but a full safety review hasn't been done. There's a concern about long-term estragole exposure and cancer risk in animals, though this hasn't been proven in people.

Concentrated extracts should be used cautiously because of estragole content. Long-term safety hasn't been fully evaluated, so talk with your pharmacist about duration before starting.
