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.

Wormseed 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection contains one active ingredient: wormseed extract, a concentrated form of the plant. The product also includes gelatin and water as inactive ingredients to form the capsule.

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 Wormseed product and its label doesn't state a use — see Wormseed'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 workseed's effectiveness against intestinal parasites and influenza is insufficient and unreliable in our data. That means we don't have solid data yet on whether this ingredient actually works for those uses.

Before spending on it, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence — or lack of it — fits your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wormseed

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.

Wormseed in medicinal amounts is unsafe to take by mouth. The concentrated oil can be toxic.

Serious adverse effects are rare but possible and include seizures, stomach distress, kidney irritation, muscle twitching, stupor, vision problems, and even death. Do not use this product if you're pregnant — wormseed has been traditionally used to trigger menstruation and may harm pregnancy.

Safety while breastfeeding is not established, so avoid medicinal amounts during that time as well. If you're considering this for any reason, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check. That doesn't mean interactions can't happen — it means our data doesn't show them.

The bigger concern here is the inherent safety profile of the ingredient itself, which carries serious toxicity warnings.

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.

This is a high-risk product. The ingredient itself carries serious toxicity warnings independent of drug interactions.

Unless your doctor has specifically recommended wormseed extract and assessed the risks for you personally, this isn't a casual supplement to try. Avoid it entirely if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Have a real conversation with your pharmacist about whether the potential benefits justify the known dangers.

Wormseed 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Wormseed 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Wormseed 450 mg 4:1 Extract. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wormseed 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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 by mouth?
No. Wormseed in medicinal amounts is considered unsafe to take orally. The concentrated oil can be toxic, and serious symptoms of poisoning — including seizures, stomach upset, kidney irritation, and vision changes — are possible, though rare.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
No. Wormseed has been traditionally used to bring on menstruation and may harm pregnancy. It's rated unsafe for pregnancy, so avoid it entirely if you're expecting.
Is it okay while breastfeeding?
No. Safety is not established while breastfeeding, so medicinal amounts should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
Does wormseed actually work for parasites or the flu?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. We have insufficient reliable evidence to rate wormseed for either intestinal parasites or influenza, so we can't tell you whether it's actually effective for those uses.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate small culinary amounts, but the concentrated extract is unsafe. Serious poisoning symptoms — though rare — include seizures, stomach distress, kidney irritation, muscle twitching, confusion, vision problems, and potentially death.
