Full disclosure

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Avocado's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Avocado for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Hypercholesterolemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Avocado powder is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia). For metabolic syndrome, aging skin, and obesity, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to rate whether it works — there simply isn't enough reliable data in our files.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Avocado

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.

Avocado is widely eaten and generally well tolerated as a food. When taken as a concentrated supplement or powder, safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited — there isn't enough information to know either way.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or nursing. Rarely, avocado can cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to latex, or a serious gastrointestinal condition called food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) — marked by severe vomiting and diarrhea within 1 to 4 hours — most often in infants and young children.

A topical cream combining avocado oil and vitamin B12 has caused itching in some people.
