HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Asthishrunkala 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.

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.

Asthishrunkala is a single-ingredient herbal powder: Cissus quadrangularis, also called veldt grape or devil's backbone. This plant has been studied for weight management and bone health, among other uses.

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 Cissus Quadrangularis's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: joint and bone health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Fractures, Joint pain, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Bone density — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cissus Quadrangularis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteopenia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cissus Quadrangularis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fractures, Osteoporosis, Joint pain, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

For obesity, Cissus quadrangularis is rated possibly effective—small studies suggest it may help with weight and metabolic markers in people who are overweight or obese. For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), weak bones without fracture (osteopenia), cancer, and epilepsy, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

The data we hold is limited on those fronts.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cissus Quadrangularis

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.

Cissus quadrangularis is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but we don't have solid long-term safety data. In clinical trials, a small number of participants reported headache, insomnia, flatulence, diarrhea, stomach inflammation (gastritis), and dry mouth—but these rates were similar to or lower than placebo, so they're not a major concern.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data to know either way. The safety notes advise against use in both situations.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is right for you if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.

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 — Cissus Quadrangularis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs—pills, injectables, or insulin—double-check them before starting Asthishrunkala. The herb may lower blood sugar further and raise your hypoglycemia risk.

No other medication types are documented to interact with the ingredient we could check.

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.

This supplement might help with weight management based on small studies, but its main interaction risk is low blood sugar if you take diabetes medications. If you have diabetes or take antidiabetes drugs, check your exact medications first.

Pregnant women and those breastfeeding should talk with their pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Asthishrunkala by Herbal Hills: Common Questions

Does Asthishrunkala by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Asthishrunkala has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Asthishrunkala 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.
Will this help me lose weight?
Small clinical studies suggest Cissus quadrangularis may help with weight management in people who are overweight or obese, so it's rated possibly effective for that. But the evidence is limited, so results aren't guaranteed for everyone.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first. The herb may lower blood sugar, and combining it with antidiabetes drugs could increase your risk of low blood sugar. Check your specific medications on this page before you start.
Is it safe to take long-term?
We don't have solid long-term safety data, so we can't say for sure. Short-term use appears generally well tolerated, but if you're thinking about taking it for months, mention it to your pharmacist.
What side effects does it cause?
Headache, insomnia, flatulence, diarrhea, stomach inflammation, and dry mouth have been reported—but at rates similar to or lower than placebo in trials, so they're uncommon.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way, so it's best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does it help with bone strength or cholesterol?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works for weak bones (osteopenia) or high cholesterol. Those areas need more study.
