HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Indigo Root 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 supplement contains one active ingredient: wild indigo root at 450 mg per capsule. Wild indigo is a plant extract that's been used in herbal medicine, though the evidence for what it actually does is limited.

The capsule itself is made with gelatin and water as inactive ingredients.

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 Wild Indigo product and its label doesn't state a use — see Wild Indigo'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 wild indigo root in treating or preventing the common cold is insufficient — we simply don't have reliable data to say whether it works. That's the honest assessment from the research we hold.

If you're considering it for another reason, that information isn't available in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wild Indigo

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.

Here's what matters: wild indigo at large doses is considered poisonous. The documented side effects from large doses include vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, and spasms.

This product contains 450 mg per capsule, so it's important you don't exceed the recommended dose. The safety data advises against using wild indigo during pregnancy because there's risk, and it should be avoided while breastfeeding since safety is unknown.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be, talk with us or your doctor before taking it.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Wild indigo root is a single-ingredient product with very limited evidence for any health benefit. The main concern is that large doses are toxic, so stick to the label dose and don't exceed it.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, this product isn't advised. Talk with us before you start if you have any health conditions or take medications.

Does Wild Indigo Root 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Wild Indigo Root 450 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wild Indigo Root 450 mg 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 this safe to take while pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against wild indigo during pregnancy because of possible risk. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Is this safe to take while breastfeeding?
It's best avoided. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so the guidance is to skip it. Check with us or your doctor for personalized advice.
What are the side effects?
At large doses, wild indigo can cause vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, and spasms — it's considered poisonous in high amounts. Stick to the label dose and don't exceed it.
Does wild indigo actually work for colds?
The evidence isn't established — we have insufficient reliable data to say whether it works for the common cold or not.
Why is this product so small — just 450 mg?
That's the dose of active wild indigo root per capsule. The rest of the capsule is gelatin and water, which hold the ingredient together.
