HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Body Guard Supreme by Supreme Nutrition Products

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

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.

Body Guard Supreme contains one active ingredient: chanca piedra, a plant traditionally used for kidney and urinary tract support. The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose.

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 Chanca Piedra's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Chanca Piedra 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: Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for chanca piedra is strongest for kidney stones, where it's rated possibly effective. For hepatitis B, the data suggests it's likely ineffective.

For other uses — anemia of chronic disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia — there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chanca Piedra

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.

Chanca piedra is generally well tolerated short-term, but high-quality safety data are limited. The most commonly reported side effects are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

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 — Chanca Piedra.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,021 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 Body Guard Supreme, double-check blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (risk of bleeding), diuretics, lithium, heart and cholesterol medications that your liver processes (especially CYP3A4 substrates), norepinephrine, blood pressure drugs, and diabetes medications. These are Moderate or Minor severity concerns, but they're worth confirming with your pharmacist or doctor.

Chanca Piedra8 drug types · 1,020 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research suggests that methyl brevifolincarboxylate, a constituent isolated from chanca piedra, can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, chanca piedra might reduce the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that chanca piedra extract increases CYP1A2 activity. Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates and lower serum concentrations. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, use of chanca piedra might increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that chanca piedra extract inhibits CYP3A4. Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chanca piedra with diuretics might increase diuresis.
Some preliminary clinical research in adults with hypertension shows that chanca piedra has diuretic properties. However, higher quality research in adults with kidney stones shows taking chanca piedra does not increase urine volume when compared with placebo. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking diuretic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, chanca piedra might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Some preliminary clinical research in adults with hypertension shows that chanca piedra has diuretic properties. However, higher quality research in adults with kidney stones shows that taking chanca piedra does not increase urine volume when compared with placebo. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Norepinephrine (Levophed)

Theoretically, chanca piedra may reduce the effects of norepinephrine.
Animal research suggests that methyl brevifolincarboxylate, a constituent isolated from chanca piedra, can reverse blood vessel contraction caused by norepinephrine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might affect glucose control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that chanca piedra can have hypoglycemic effects. However, a small clinical study in adults with diabetes shows that chanca piedra extract 25 grams orally daily for 1 week does not lower fasting or postprandial blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chanca piedra with antihypertensive drugs might have additive blood pressure lowering effects.
Animal research suggests that chanca piedra can decrease blood pressure. However, this effect was not observed in most hypertensive patients treated with chanca piedra for 10 days.
