HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Arjuna Gold 500 mg by NutriGold

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 16, 2026

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.

Arjuna Gold contains one active ingredient: Arjuna extract (500 mg per capsule). Arjuna is a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, and the extract is the concentrated form used in this supplement.

The capsule itself is vegetarian, and the product also contains organic rice concentrate as an inactive ingredient.

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 Terminalia's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports healthy circulation and cardiac function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hypertension, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia, arrhythmia, myocardial health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Coronary heart disease (CHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension.

The evidence for Arjuna extract isn't well established yet. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for obesity, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), high blood pressure (hypertension), or angina.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means larger, well-designed human studies haven't been done yet to confirm whether it's truly effective for these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Terminalia

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Arjuna extract is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety data is limited and quality can vary between products. The safety information isn't adequate to support use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so avoid this supplement if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Terminalia

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 — Terminalia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 934 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 start Arjuna Gold, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take any medications processed through your liver's CYP3A4, CYP2D6, or CYP2C9 enzymes—a large group that includes many heart, antidepressant, and pain medications. Also flag blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, chlorzoxazone (muscle relaxer), and omeprazole (heartburn medication).

These are all Moderate severity interactions.

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 some safety-information gaps remain.

Arjuna Gold is a single-ingredient supplement that interacts with many common medications—especially those processed by your liver and blood thinners. If you take any prescription drugs, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this product.

The evidence for what it claims to do isn't established yet, so talk it over with your healthcare provider to decide if it's right for you.

Arjuna extract7 drug types · 933 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia arjuna with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding in some patients.
In vitro, Terminalia arjuna bark extract inhibits platelet aggregation, decreases platelet activation, and shows antithrombotic properties.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia bellirica or Terminalia chebula with antidiabetes drugs could affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal and in vitro research shows that Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula fruit and seed extract have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from chlorzoxazone.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of chlorzoxazone increases blood levels of chlorzoxazone and decreases chlorzoxazone clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of chlorzoxazone by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2E1.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2C9 enzymes and reduces CYP2C9 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes and reduces CYP2D6 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and reduces CYP3A4 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Omeprazole (Prilosec)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from omeprazole.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of omeprazole increases blood levels of omeprazole and decreases omeprazole clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of omeprazole by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C19.

Does Arjuna Gold 500 mg by NutriGold interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Arjuna Gold 500 mg has a known interaction with 933 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Arjuna Gold 500 mg 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.
Is Arjuna Gold safe to use while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you and your baby.
Does Arjuna Gold actually work for high cholesterol or high blood pressure?
The evidence isn't established yet. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate Arjuna for those conditions, so we don't know for certain if it works. Your doctor can help you weigh whether to try it or stick with proven treatments.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
In short-term studies, Arjuna extract is generally well tolerated, meaning most people don't report problems. We don't have detailed side-effect data from long-term use, and product quality can vary, so talk with your pharmacist if you notice anything unusual.
What is Arjuna extract?
Arjuna is a plant used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine. This supplement contains a concentrated extract of it. The capsule itself is vegetarian, and it also has organic rice concentrate as a filler.
I take a blood thinner—can I use this product?
Arjuna extract may increase your bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it; they'll help you decide if it's safe for you.
How does Arjuna Gold interact with so many medications?
The active ingredient slows down liver enzymes your body uses to break down many common drugs. When those drugs clear more slowly, they can build up to higher levels and cause problems. That's why it's important to check your specific medications before taking it.
