HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Body Detox + by Herbal Goodness

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 12, 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.

Body Detox + is a liquid containing one active ingredient: papaya seed extract. The inactive ingredients are glycerin and purified water—both common in liquid supplements.

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 Papaya's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: gently cleanse body and support digestive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Intestinal parasite infection, Wound healing, digestion, constipation, indigestion.
  • The closest evidence on file: Papaya is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Intestinal parasite infection (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Papaya is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Wound healing.

The evidence on papaya seed extract for its claimed uses isn't established in the data we hold. The product lists several possible purposes—aging skin, hair loss, gallbladder cancer, colorectal cancer, and diabetes—but all of them carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence.

That means the studies either don't exist, are too small or weak, or are too limited to draw firm conclusions. This doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means we don't have the science to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Papaya

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.

Ripe papaya fruit eaten as food is generally well tolerated. Concentrated supplements are much less studied, and unripe (green) papaya, papaya latex, and papaya seeds should be avoided.

The most common side effects from papaya leaf extract are nausea and vomiting. Rare but serious allergic reactions have been reported, and people with a latex allergy may be at higher risk for hypersensitivity reactions to papaya because of cross-reactivity.

Regarding pregnancy, some sources caution against large amounts during pregnancy, though the safety data is mixed. For lactation, the limited data suggests likely safety, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice about use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Papaya

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 — Papaya.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 92 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.

Check this product against antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications)—papaya extract may lower blood sugar additively and raise the risk of dangerously low levels. Also flag amiodarone (Cordarone), warfarin (Coumadin), and levothyroxine (Synthroid) with your pharmacist, as documented interactions or case reports exist for all three.

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.

If you take blood sugar medications, heart rhythm drugs, blood thinners, or thyroid medication, run this product through the medication checker below first. Papaya supplements are less studied than whole ripe fruit, and the interactions documented here are real concerns.

Talk with your pharmacist before you start.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Body Detox + with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Papaya Seed Extract4 drug types · 92 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, papaya extract may increase the levels and clinical effects of amiodarone.
Animal research in rats shows that a single oral dose of papaya extract, as well as multiple doses of papaya extract daily over 14 days, prior to a single dose of amiodarone delays the time to maximum amiodarone concentration. However, only the 14-day papaya extract regimen increases systemic amiodarone exposure by 60% to 70%. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Concomitant use of antidiabetic drugs with fermented papaya can produce additive effects. It is unclear if other forms of papaya have the same effect.
A small low-quality clinical study in patients with type 2 diabetes who are taking glibenclamide shows that taking a fermented papaya preparation 3 grams daily for 2 months decreases fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels when compared to baseline. Additionally, of the 25 patients in the study, 9 required a reduction in glibenclamide dose.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Theoretically, consuming large quantities of papaya fruit can reduce the clinical effects of levothyroxine.
In one case-report, a 37-year-old male with a history of thyroidectomy who was stabilized on levothyroxine for 5 years presented with hypothyroidism after consuming 5-6 papaya fruits daily for 14 days during vacation. In a controlled re-challenge test involving 5-6 papayas daily, the patient remained euthyroid for 7 days, but developed mild hypothyroidism after 14 days. Both times, thyroid levels normalized 40-45 days after discontinuing papaya.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, concomitant use of warfarin with papain-containing papaya extract might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract.

Body Detox + by Herbal Goodness: Common Questions

Does Body Detox + by Herbal Goodness interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Body Detox + has a known interaction with 92 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Body Detox + 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.
Is papaya seed extract safe if I'm not taking any medications?
Ripe papaya fruit eaten in food amounts is generally well tolerated. Concentrated supplements are less studied, and nausea and vomiting have been reported with papaya leaf extract in clinical trials. If you have a latex allergy, you're at higher risk for allergic reactions to papaya. Talk with your pharmacist if you have any concerns about your health or allergies.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data is mixed. Some sources caution against large amounts during pregnancy, though limited data suggests lactation may be safe. Since this is a supplement—not a studied drug—there isn't enough reliable information to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
What exactly is papaya seed extract, and why is it in a detox product?
Papaya seed extract comes from papaya seeds. Papaya has been used traditionally in herbal medicine, but the evidence for its use in 'detox' products specifically isn't established in the data we hold. The product lists several possible purposes, but none of them have sufficient reliable evidence to support the claims.
Why is unripe papaya listed as something to avoid?
Unripe papaya, papaya latex, and papaya seeds contain higher levels of papain and other compounds that are less studied and carry more risk. They've been linked to allergic reactions and other adverse effects. This product is a seed extract, so talk with your pharmacist about whether this applies to what you're taking.
Could this lower my blood sugar if I'm taking diabetes medication?
Yes—that's one of the documented interactions. A clinical study found that fermented papaya can lower blood sugar additively with diabetes drugs like glibenclamide, which could cause dangerously low blood sugar. It's unclear if other papaya forms have the same effect. If you take any diabetes medication, check with your pharmacist before you start this product.
