HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wheat Grass 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: Wheat Grass Glycerite Liquid Extract. The glycerin listed is an inactive ingredient — it's the solvent that carries the wheatgrass extract.

So you're getting wheatgrass as a concentrated liquid.

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 Wheatgrass product and its label doesn't state a use — see Wheatgrass'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 wheatgrass isn't established yet in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for bronchitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), beta-thalassemia, cancer, or the common cold.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — just that the studies aren't there yet to back up those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wheatgrass

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.

Wheatgrass is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though quality and contamination concerns mean caution is wise. The most common side effects reported are allergic reactions, loss of appetite, constipation, and nausea.

Wheat is a major food allergen in the United States, so if you're sensitive to wheat, wheatgrass products carry that same risk. Raw wheatgrass products may carry contamination, so avoid them unless your doctor has cleared it for you.

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 — Wheatgrass.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 272 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.

Double-check this product if you take antidiabetes drugs — wheatgrass may lower your blood sugar too much. Also check CYP1A2 substrates, a class of drugs your liver processes; wheatgrass may reduce how well they work.

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.

Wheatgrass is generally well tolerated, but it's not a sure thing for most common uses and carries real interaction concerns with blood sugar medications and certain other drugs. If you take antidiabetes drugs or any regular prescription, check with us before starting.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether this fits your health picture.

Wheat Grass by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Wheat Grass by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wheat Grass has a known interaction with 272 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wheat Grass 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.
Will wheatgrass lower my blood sugar too much?
Wheatgrass may lower blood glucose and increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if you're already taking antidiabetes drugs. Animal research shows wheatgrass stimulates insulin release. If you take diabetes medication, check with your pharmacist before starting.
Is wheatgrass safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety information on file for wheatgrass during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it — they can help you weigh what you need to know.
What are the side effects?
Most common are allergic reactions, nausea, loss of appetite, and constipation. Wheat is a major food allergen, so if you're sensitive to wheat, wheatgrass carries that same risk. Raw wheatgrass products may also carry contamination.
Does wheatgrass actually work for anything?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to rate wheatgrass for bronchitis, prostate health, blood disorders, cancer, or colds. That doesn't mean it's useless — just that the research isn't there yet to confirm it.
Does this product have fillers?
It contains glycerin as an inactive ingredient — that's the liquid the wheatgrass extract is dissolved in, not a filler in the traditional sense. Your active ingredient is the wheatgrass itself.
