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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: yerba santa leaf at 900 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and rice powder as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold for yerba santa doesn't currently support a reliable rating for obesity or weight management — the data just isn't strong enough to say whether it works for that purpose.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Yerba santa is generally well tolerated when used in small amounts in foods and teas, but safety data from clinical trials or large studies are limited. The safety data advise against using medicinal amounts during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so if you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium, confirm the dose is still right for you before adding this product. Yerba santa's diuretic properties may raise lithium levels in your blood, and your doctor may need to lower your dose to keep you safe.
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.
If you take lithium for mood management, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting yerba santa — your lithium dose may need adjustment. For others, the main caution is that human safety data at medicinal doses are sparse.
This is a conversation worth having with your own healthcare provider before you begin.
