HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yerbe Santa 900 mg by BodSmith

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 a single active ingredient: Yerba Santa at 900 mg per capsule. Yerba Santa is a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine, though the evidence for its benefits in humans is limited.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and rice powder, which are inactive ingredients that help hold and deliver the herb.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports respiratory health and immune system.
  • We looked for evidence on: cough, bronchitis, chest congestion, asthma.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for Yerba Santa as a weight-loss or obesity treatment is insufficient—we simply don't have reliable human studies backing that use. If you're considering this supplement for that reason, the data doesn't establish whether it actually works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Yerba Santa

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.

Yerba Santa is generally well tolerated in small amounts when used in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited, especially at medicinal doses. The safety information advises against medicinal amounts during pregnancy because we don't have enough data to know it's safe.

Similarly, medicinal use is not recommended while breastfeeding, as safety hasn't been studied in nursing mothers. We hold no adverse-effect data from trials.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Yerba Santa

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 — Yerba Santa.
  • 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 for mood stabilization, double-check before starting Yerba Santa—this supplement may reduce how your body clears the medication, and your dose might need adjustment.

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.

Yerba Santa is a single-herb supplement with limited evidence for its traditional uses. If you take lithium, check with your pharmacist before starting—this herb could affect lithium levels.

Pregnant or nursing? Skip medicinal amounts due to insufficient safety data.

For anyone else, talk to your pharmacist about whether this fits your health goals.
