HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Antiflame by Simply Best

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.

Antiflame contains one active ingredient: mangosteen (labeled as Mangoselect). The rest is an HPMC vegetarian capsule, which is the inactive capsule material that holds the ingredient.

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit traditionally used for inflammatory conditions. This product concentrates that plant material into a supplement form.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Mangosteen's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: body's healing processes and general wellness.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Muscle fatigue, Muscle strength, inflammatory conditions, wound healing — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Mangosteen is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Atopic dermatitis (eczema) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Mangosteen is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle fatigue, Muscle strength, Osteoarthritis.

The evidence for mangosteen is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for periodontitis (gum disease), based on available studies.

For androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness), atopic dermatitis (eczema), and Alzheimer's disease, the evidence isn't established enough to rate — we simply don't have reliable data yet on whether it works for those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Mangosteen

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.

Mangosteen is generally well tolerated as a food, though long-term safety of concentrated supplements hasn't been thoroughly studied. In trials using mangosteen extract up to 560 mg daily, a small number of participants reported mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, and malaise — though it's not clear whether mangosteen caused these.

Gastrointestinal symptoms like constipation, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal bloating were also reported in some cases, along with dry throat, cough, and flu-like symptoms. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information.

The safety data advises against supplement amounts of mangosteen in both situations — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific circumstances.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Mangosteen

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 — Mangosteen.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 125 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.

Before taking Antiflame, double-check any blood thinners or antiplatelet medications you're on (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel)—mangosteen may increase bleeding risk. Also mention it if you take donepezil (Aricept).

Use the search tool on this page to verify your exact medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Antiflame may be worth considering if you're interested in gum health support, since mangosteen shows some evidence for periodontitis. However, if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs—or donepezil for Alzheimer's—check with us first.

Mangoselect2 drug types · 125 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of mangosteen with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro and animal research shows that gamma-mangostin, a constituent of mangosteen, is a potent and competitive antagonist of the serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor. Antagonism of the 5-HT2A receptor is believed to reduce platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Donepezil (Aricept)

Theoretically, concomitant use of mangosteen with donepezil might increase the effects of donepezil.
Animal research shows that concomitant use of an aqueous extract of mangosteen pericarp with donepezil increases brain concentrations of donepezil at 4 hours by 64% without associated effects on systemic exposure.

Antiflame by Simply Best: Common Questions

Does Antiflame by Simply Best interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Antiflame has a known interaction with 125 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Antiflame 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.
What is mangosteen, and why is it in this product?
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit that's been used traditionally for inflammatory conditions. It's included here because research suggests it may help with gum disease (periodontitis). This product concentrates the plant material into a capsule.
Does Antiflame actually work?
Mangosteen is rated possibly effective for gum disease based on available studies. For baldness, eczema, or Alzheimer's disease—other uses sometimes mentioned—we don't have reliable evidence yet. Talk with your pharmacist about whether it fits your goals.
What side effects might I notice?
In trials, some people reported mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, and stomach symptoms like nausea, constipation, or diarrhea—though it's unclear whether mangosteen caused them. Dry throat, cough, and flu-like symptoms were also mentioned in some cases. Most people don't experience these.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information, and the safety data advises against supplement amounts of mangosteen during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation.
Are there any fillers or extra ingredients?
The capsule itself is made of HPMC (a vegetarian capsule material). That's it—no other inactive ingredients beyond the mangosteen inside.
