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. Traditionally used for its calming properties, wild lettuce leaf is the whole botanical in powder form with no added fillers or 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 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 hold effectiveness data for wild lettuce in our system. That means the evidence for what it actually does isn't established in the research we have on file.

If you're considering it for a specific reason, check with your pharmacist about what the current evidence shows.

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.

Wild lettuce comes with some caution. The safety data in humans is limited, and large doses have been tied to side effects.

In particular, taking big amounts of wild lettuce — or harvesting it before it's fully mature — has been reported to cause sweating, rapid breathing, dizziness, ringing in the ears, vision changes, pressure in the head, drowsiness, agitation, and in severe cases, trouble breathing or coma. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are off the table: there isn't enough safety information, so it's best avoided during both.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering this product.

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 — 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.

Check your medications against two categories before starting: first, any CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, strong pain relievers) — the risk is moderate for added drowsiness and side effects. Second, anticholinergic drugs (medications that block nerve signals, used for conditions like overactive bladder or Parkinson's) — also moderate risk, with large doses of wild lettuce linked to anticholinergic side effects.

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.

Wild Lettuce Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Wild Lettuce Leaf Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Lettuce Leaf Powder has a known interaction with 393 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wild Lettuce Leaf Powder 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.
What side effects can wild lettuce cause?
Large amounts of wild lettuce, especially if harvested too early, can cause sweating, rapid breathing, dizziness, ringing in the ears, vision changes, pressure in the head, drowsiness, and agitation. In severe cases, respiratory depression and coma have been reported. Topically, it may cause contact dermatitis (skin irritation).
Is wild lettuce safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information for either pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best avoided in both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and thinking about taking it.
Can I take wild lettuce with my sleep medication?
That's a conversation you need to have with your pharmacist or doctor first. Wild lettuce may add to the drowsy effects of sedatives or sleep aids — potentially too much. Use the interaction checker on this page with your exact medication, or call your pharmacy.
How much wild lettuce is considered a large dose?
The safety data we have doesn't specify a cutoff, only that large amounts and prematurely harvested wild lettuce are tied to side effects. Because safety information is limited overall, talk with your pharmacist about appropriate dosing for you.
