HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 2-HOBA 100 mg by SuperSmart

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: hobamine, which comes from buckwheat. Buckwheat has been studied for potential cardiovascular and metabolic support, though the evidence remains limited.

The capsule also holds two inactive ingredients — acacia gum and white rice flour — which help form and fill 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 Buckwheat product and its label doesn't state a use — see Buckwheat'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 hobamine from buckwheat is not yet established in the data we hold. Studies on cardiovascular disease, chronic venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the veins), diabetes, and diabetic eye disease all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for any of these uses.

If you're considering this supplement for a specific health goal, it's worth talking through what the current evidence does and doesn't show.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Buckwheat

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.

Buckwheat is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though allergic reactions can happen in some people. Symptoms may include skin sensitization, allergic rhinitis (runny nose), asthma, conjunctivitis (pink eye), nausea, vomiting, or in rare cases anaphylaxis.

Occupational or household exposure to buckwheat dust or husks can also cause sensitization. Safety data on concentrated buckwheat supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited.

The facts note that while buckwheat as a food is likely fine, supplement doses haven't been well studied in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're pregnant or nursing.
