HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Lettuce Leaf Powder 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: wild lettuce powder. Wild lettuce has a long history in herbal use, traditionally valued for relaxation support, though the science behind it isn't well established in our data.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product — it's powder only.

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 Lettuce product and its label doesn't state a use — see Wild Lettuce'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.

We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for wild lettuce. The evidence supporting its use isn't established in our data, so we can't tell you whether it actually works for any particular purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wild Lettuce

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.

Limited human safety data exist for wild lettuce, and high doses have been linked to side effects. Mature, properly harvested wild lettuce taken by mouth seems to be generally well tolerated.

However, large amounts or prematurely harvested wild lettuce can cause serious effects — dizziness, pressure in the head, drowsiness, anxiety, headache, rapid heartbeat, dilation of the pupils, and in rare cases, respiratory depression, coma, or death. Topically, it may cause contact dermatitis in susceptible people.

The safety data during pregnancy advises against use — there isn't enough information to know if it's safe. There is no reliable safety data for breastfeeding, so avoid it while nursing.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Wild Lettuce.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 393 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 this product, check any CNS depressants (sedating medications like sleep aids, anxiety medications, and opioids) and anticholinergic drugs (medications for overactive bladder, motion sickness, or certain nervous system conditions) — wild lettuce may intensify their effects. Use the interaction checker below to search your exact prescriptions.

Anticholinergic Drugs

Studies report varying evidence on whether or not wild lettuce contains hyoscyamine, an anticholinergic drug. If it does, it appears to be in very low amounts. Nevertheless, there have been case reports of individuals consuming large amounts of wild lettuce experiencing anticholinergic-related side effects, such as constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, and sweating. Therefore, if you are already taking a drug with anticholinergic effects, you should be cautious about combining it with wild lettuce as the risk of side effects may be increased.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use with drugs with sedative effects might cause additive therapeutic effects and adverse effects.
