HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Apidren 400 mg by NutriPharm

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “CardiaSlim Proprietary Blend (Herb/Botanical)” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (400 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Apidren has two active ingredients: CardiaSlim Proprietary Blend (a combination of herbs and botanicals) and Sphaeranthus indicus flower extract. The product also contains mangosteen fruit rind extract.

The inactive ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — these are fillers and binders that help hold the capsule together.

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: cardiovascular health and weight management.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome.
  • The closest evidence on file: Mangosteen is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

Mangosteen extract in this product has been studied for a few conditions. It's rated possibly effective for periodontitis (gum infection).

For male-pattern hair loss, Alzheimer disease, and eczema, the evidence we hold is insufficient to say whether it works. We don't have effectiveness ratings for the CardiaSlim blend or Sphaeranthus indicus in our data.

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 extract is generally well tolerated, though long-term safety of supplements hasn't been thoroughly studied. In trials at doses up to 560 mg daily, a small number of participants reported tiredness, headache, dizziness, mild stomach issues (nausea, constipation, bloating), and respiratory symptoms like cough or nasal congestion — though it's unclear if mangosteen caused them.

During pregnancy, the safety data advises against using mangosteen supplements. The same goes for breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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 you take Apidren, double-check if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and others) — mangosteen may increase bleeding risk. If you take donepezil for Alzheimer disease, mention this product to your pharmacist as well.

One ingredient (Sphaeranthus indicus) we couldn't check for interactions, so a complete medication review is important.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Apidren may be worth considering if you're interested in mangosteen for gum health, but if you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or donepezil, check with your pharmacist first. The interactions are real enough to warrant a quick medication review before you start.

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.

What side effects might I get from mangosteen?

Yes — it contains microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide as inactive ingredients to help form the capsule.
What is CardiaSlim Proprietary Blend?
It's a combination of herbs and botanicals, but the full breakdown of individual components isn't listed separately on the label — it's a proprietary blend, so we don't have detailed effectiveness or interaction data for each part.
