HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Winter Savory by Herbal Terra

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: certified organic Winter Savory (Satureja montana) dried leaf liquid extract. It's a concentrated liquid form of the plant, preserved in a menstruum (the liquid used to extract it from the plant material).

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 Winter Savory product and its label doesn't state a use — see Winter Savory'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 data we hold doesn't establish that Winter Savory is effective for premature ejaculation — the evidence is insufficient to rate it for that purpose. If you're considering it for any other use, we don't have effectiveness ratings on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Winter Savory

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Winter savory used as a food seasoning is likely safe, but concentrated extracts and essential oils haven't been well studied in people, so we're more cautious there. During pregnancy, avoid medicinal amounts and the essential oil because there isn't enough safety data — food amounts are probably fine.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and want to use this supplement, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 — Winter Savory.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 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.

If you take lithium, this is the main one to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the product may raise your lithium levels and require a dose adjustment. No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we checked.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Winter Savory is likely well tolerated in culinary amounts, but this is a concentrated liquid extract. If you take lithium, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid concentrated amounts without medical guidance. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before you begin.

Winter Savory by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Winter Savory by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Winter Savory has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Winter Savory 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Not recommended. Medicinal amounts and the essential oil should be avoided during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data. Food amounts of winter savory are probably fine, but since this is a concentrated extract, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Is this the same as the dried herb I cook with?
No — this is a concentrated liquid extract, not the culinary dried leaf. The extract is much stronger, and that's why we're more cautious about it. Cooking with winter savory seasoning is fine; concentrated supplements are a different story and need more care.
Does it actually work for premature ejaculation?
The evidence we have isn't reliable enough to say. We don't rate it as effective or ineffective — there's just not enough solid research on file.
What does 'diuretic' mean, and why does it matter for lithium?
Diuretic means it works like a water pill — it makes your body release more water. If winter savory does that, it may slow how your kidneys clear lithium out, raising the level in your blood. That's why you need to check with your doctor if you're on lithium.
What's in the bottle besides the extract?
The liquid also contains menstruum, which is the liquid used to extract the plant material from the herb. That's the only other ingredient listed.
