HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Arjuna Powder by Herbal Hills

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

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 1 active ingredient.

Arjuna Powder by Herbal Hills is a single-ingredient product containing Arjuna powder — the dried bark and fruit of the Terminalia arjuna tree, a plant used in Ayurvedic medicine. There are no inactive ingredients listed in this formulation.

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: heart health and cardiovascular function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Angina, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Circulatory health — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Angina (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Coronary heart disease (CHD), Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension.

The evidence we hold for Arjuna does not establish its effectiveness. Studies have not provided reliable evidence to rate it for obesity, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), high blood pressure (hypertension), or angina (chest pain).

If you're considering it for one of these conditions, talk with your doctor about treatments with proven benefit.

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 has been generally well tolerated in short-term studies, but long-term safety data are sparse and product quality can vary. The safety information available is not sufficient to recommend it during pregnancy — the data advises against use if you are pregnant.

Similarly, there isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding, so avoid it during lactation or talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

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 taking Arjuna, double-check your medications for interactions. The main concerns are drugs broken down by your liver's CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 enzymes (a very broad group including antidepressants, statins, and many pain relievers), blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxer), and omeprazole (a heartburn medication).

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining Arjuna with any of these.

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 some safety-information gaps remain.

Arjuna Powder is a single-herb supplement with no established evidence for obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or heart pain. It interacts with a broad range of medications by slowing how your liver clears them, and it can thin your blood.

If you take any prescription drugs — especially blood thinners, diabetes medications, or any regular prescription — check your medications with the tool on this page and discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Arjuna powder7 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.

Arjuna Powder by Herbal Hills: Common Questions

Does Arjuna Powder by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Arjuna Powder 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 Powder 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 Arjuna if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data aren't adequate to recommend Arjuna during pregnancy, so avoid it if you are pregnant. There's also not enough information on safety while breastfeeding. If you're considering it during either time, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice specific to your situation.
Does Arjuna actually work for high blood pressure or high cholesterol?
The evidence we hold does not establish that Arjuna is effective for those conditions. Studies have not provided reliable evidence to rate it. If you're looking to manage blood pressure or cholesterol, talk with your doctor about options with proven benefit.
What side effects has Arjuna caused in studies?
We don't have specific adverse effect data on file for Arjuna. It has been generally well tolerated in short-term research, but long-term safety information is limited. If you experience side effects after starting it, stop and talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
Why does Arjuna interact with so many medications?
Arjuna slows down the liver enzymes (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4) that break down a huge range of medications — everything from antidepressants to statins to blood pressure drugs. When your liver clears drugs more slowly, they can build up to higher levels and cause stronger effects or side effects.
Is the powder form different from other forms of Arjuna?
The product facts we have cover only this powder form. If you're looking at other forms of Arjuna, the interactions and effectiveness may differ — ask your pharmacist about whichever form you're considering.
