HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bilva Fruit Powder by Bixa Botanical

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.

This powder contains one active ingredient: Aegle marmelos (bael) fruit. The ripe fruit itself is commonly eaten as food in traditional diets, and it's been used in herbal medicine for digestive and respiratory purposes.

The product has no other inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports healthy bowel functions.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diarrhea, Constipation, Dysentery, Indigestion.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate bael for asthma or shigellosis (a bacterial infection). That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research available to us isn't strong enough to make a confident claim either way.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the broader evidence shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bael

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.

The ripe fruit is eaten as a common food, but concentrated supplements like this powder lack strong safety data, so we'd advise caution. Consuming large amounts of bael may cause stomach upset and constipation.

Safety during pregnancy is not established, and some traditional sources warn against medicinal use in pregnancy, so it's best avoided if you're pregnant. Similarly, there isn't enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding, so medicinal use should be avoided if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bael

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 — Bael.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 820 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 this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (like glimepiride) or cholinergic medications (like donepezil or bethanechol). Also let them know about any drugs metabolized by the liver enzymes CYP1A2 or CYP3A4, which this powder may affect.

No interactions are documented for the checked ingredients we hold data for, but the interactions we do have span 820 individual medications overall.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This single-ingredient powder may interact with diabetes medications, cholinergic drugs, and possibly others that your liver breaks down. If you take any prescription medication, check your specific drugs before starting.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it — the safety data isn't there.

Aegle marmelos powder4 drug types · 819 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Evidence from animal research suggests that extracts of bael seed and leaf can reduce blood glucose levels. Theoretically, bael might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cholinergic Drugs

Bael leaf extract shows acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity in vitro. Theoretically, bael might have additive effects with cholinergic drugs and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects.
Cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Bael extract and its constituent marmesinin inhibited cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) activity in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, bael might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 include amitriptyline (Elavil), haloperidol (Haldol), ondansetron (Zofran), propranolol (Inderal), theophylline (Theo-Dur, others), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, others), and others. Use bael cautiously or avoid in patients taking these drugs.

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

Bael and its constituents marmelosin and marmesinin inhibited cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, bael might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and numerous others. Use bael cautiously or avoid in patients taking these drugs.

Bilva Fruit Powder by Bixa Botanical: Common Questions

Does Bilva Fruit Powder by Bixa Botanical interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bilva Fruit Powder has a known interaction with 819 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bilva Fruit 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 this if I have diabetes?
Animal research suggests bael may lower blood glucose levels, so it could add to the effect of your diabetes medication and raise the risk of low blood sugar. You'll need to talk with your doctor first — they may want to monitor your blood glucose more closely or adjust your dose.
Is this safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. Safety isn't established in pregnancy, and some traditional sources warn against it, so it's best avoided. There also isn't enough reliable information on safety while breastfeeding, so you should avoid medicinal use if you're nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives if you need support during this time.
What side effects might I notice?
Consuming large amounts of bael may cause stomach upset and constipation. Since this is a concentrated supplement (not just the ripe fruit eaten as food), start cautiously and watch how your body responds.
What is bael fruit used for?
The ripe fruit is eaten as food and has been used in herbal medicine for respiratory and digestive purposes. However, the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for asthma or shigellosis specifically.
Does this powder have fillers or other ingredients?
No — this product is listed with only one active ingredient and no other inactive ingredients.
