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: amla fruit extract (also called Indian gooseberry). The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose, an inactive ingredient.

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: enhance breast and buttock size, increase estrogen.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

Amla fruit extract is possibly effective for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels). For high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) and male-pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia), the evidence isn't established well enough in our data to rate it either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Indian Gooseberry

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.

Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement safety at higher doses hasn't been studied as thoroughly. The safety data advises against this supplement during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information at supplement doses — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort or upset stomach (dyspepsia), fatigue, or muscle and joint pain, but these were uncommon.

Amla fruit extract4 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg, as a single dose or for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg alone. Until more is known, use caution when taking Indian gooseberry in combination with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking Indian gooseberry with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry fruit or fruit extract alone or in conjunction with antidiabetes medications can lower blood glucose levels. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with aspirin; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with ecosprin 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus ecosprin 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with ecosprin 75 mg alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Clopidogrel (Plavix)

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with clopidogrel; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg alone.

Aguaje Extract by Herbadiet: Common Questions

Does Aguaje Extract by Herbadiet interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aguaje Extract has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aguaje 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 take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against using this supplement during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough reliable information at supplement doses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
What's amla fruit extract, and what does it do?
Amla is also called Indian gooseberry. It's the active ingredient in this product and is possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and abnormal blood lipid levels. For high cholesterol and hair loss, the evidence in our data isn't strong enough to say whether it works.
What side effects might I experience?
In clinical trials, a small number of people reported stomach discomfort, fatigue, or muscle and joint pain — but these were uncommon. The product is generally well tolerated, though supplement safety at higher doses hasn't been as thoroughly studied as food-form amla.
Is this safe to take with my blood thinner?
No — don't start this without talking to your doctor first. Amla may increase bleeding risk if you're on blood thinners, aspirin, or drugs like clopidogrel (Plavix). Your doctor can tell you whether it's safe for your situation.
What if I'm diabetic — can I take this?
Amla lowers blood sugar, so combining it with diabetes medication could drop your blood sugar too low. Your doctor may need to adjust your medication dose. Discuss it with them before starting.
