HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Asthishrunkala 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

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: Asthishrunkala powder, which is derived from Cissus quadrangularis, a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine. The powder form delivers the whole plant material without added fillers or binders.

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: help in maintaining joint and bone health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Fractures, Joint pain, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), bone density — and 1 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).

Cissus quadrangularis is rated possibly effective for obesity—small studies suggest it may help reduce body weight in people who are overweight or obese. For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), bone density loss (osteopenia), cancer, and epilepsy, the evidence we have isn't strong enough to rate it either way.

If you're considering this for weight management, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the current evidence fits your situation.

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 when used short-term, but long-term safety hasn't been thoroughly studied. Some trial participants reported headache and insomnia, as well as gas, loose stool, stomach irritation, and dry mouth—though these showed up at rates similar to or lower than placebo.

Because there isn't enough safety data, this ingredient should be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Cissus Quadrangularis

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 any medication to manage diabetes—insulin, metformin, a sulfonylurea, or another class—double-check this product with your pharmacist or using the tool below before you begin. It may lower your blood sugar further and raise the risk of going too low.

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.

This single-ingredient powder may be worth considering if you're exploring options for weight management alongside diet and exercise, but you'll need to check it against any diabetes medication first. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take insulin or other blood-sugar-lowering drugs, have a conversation with your pharmacist before you start.

Does Asthishrunkala Powder by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Asthishrunkala Powder 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 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.
Does Asthishrunkala Powder actually help with weight loss?
Early studies suggest Cissus quadrangularis may help reduce body weight in people who are overweight or obese, so it's rated possibly effective for that. But the research is still limited, and weight loss depends on diet, exercise, and many other factors. Talk with your doctor about whether it fits into your overall plan.
Can I take this while I'm on diabetes medication?
You'll need to check with your pharmacist first. This ingredient may lower blood sugar on its own, which could push your level too low if you're already taking a diabetes drug. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact medications before you start.
Is it safe to take long-term?
The ingredient is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety hasn't been studied thoroughly. If you're thinking about taking it regularly, ask your pharmacist or doctor about what we know and don't know yet.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to recommend it during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options and what might be safer for you and your baby.
What side effects should I watch for?
Some trial participants reported headache, insomnia, gas, loose stool, stomach irritation, and dry mouth. These showed up at rates similar to or lower than placebo, so they're uncommon—but let your pharmacist know if anything bothers you.
