HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yarrow 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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: a 4:1 extract of yarrow, delivering 450 mg per capsule. A 4:1 extract means the herb is concentrated—4 pounds of fresh plant are reduced to 1 pound of extract, making it more potent than a simple dried powder.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water.

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 Yarrow product and its label doesn't state a use — see Yarrow'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 yarrow isn't established in our data. We hold ratings for tonsillitis, wound healing, atopic dermatitis (eczema), dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and vaginal yeast infection—all marked insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That means the research so far doesn't give us a clear picture of whether it works for these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

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.

Orally and vaginally, yarrow seems to be well tolerated overall, though allergic reactions can happen. The main concern is topical application: it can cause dermatitis (skin irritation), allergic rashes, and in rare cases, sensitivity to sunlight or contact dermatitis from handling the flowers—one person even reported rhinitis and asthma from touching yarrow blooms.

Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus, and there isn't enough safety data to use it while breastfeeding. Human safety data for oral use are limited, so stick to short-term use.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Yarrow

Meds to double-check

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 — Yarrow.
  • 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.

Check with us before starting if you take lithium (a mood stabilizer). Yarrow may raise lithium levels in your body, which could mean side effects and a dose adjustment.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're considering yarrow for a specific health concern, know that the evidence for it isn't clear yet in our data. The biggest thing to watch is if you take lithium—that's a real interaction.

Allergic reactions are possible, and if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, this isn't the one to use. Talk to your pharmacist about your particular situation.

Lithium

Theoretically, taking yarrow with lithium might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research shows that yarrow has diuretic activity. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, yarrow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

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

Does Yarrow 450 mg 4:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yarrow 450 mg 4:1 Extract 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?
Yarrow 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.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Yarrow is traditionally avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus, and there isn't enough safety data to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor about safer options.
What does a 4:1 extract mean?
A 4:1 extract is concentrated—4 pounds of fresh yarrow are reduced to 1 pound of extract. That makes each dose more potent than you'd get from the same weight of dried herb powder.
Are there any side effects from taking it by mouth?
Orally, yarrow seems well tolerated, but allergic reactions are possible. Human safety data are limited, so it's best used short-term. If you handle the flowers, you could develop skin irritation or, rarely, breathing problems.
Does yarrow actually work for the conditions it's used for?
The evidence isn't clear yet. We don't have reliable research showing it works for tonsillitis, wound healing, eczema, painful periods, or yeast infection—that's why those all rate insufficient evidence in our data.
Can I take this with my other medications?
If you take lithium, don't start this without checking with us first—there's a real interaction. For any other medications, use the checker on this page or ask your pharmacist.
