HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Caralluma 1,000 mg by Bio Nutrition
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: caralluma, a succulent plant extract dosed at 1,000 mg per capsule. The remaining ingredients — vegetable cellulose, vegetable stearate, and silica — are inactive components that form the capsule and help with texture and flow.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for caralluma is mixed and often limited. For obesity, the research suggests it's possibly ineffective.
For anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder) and Prader-Willi syndrome — a genetic condition that affects appetite and metabolism — we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Caralluma is generally well tolerated in short-term use, though long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects in early use are gastrointestinal: bloating, constipation, gas, and stomach irritation.
These tend to settle down within the first two weeks and have also shown up in people taking placebo in trials. One trial participant with a history of high blood pressure saw a temporary rise in blood pressure, which resolved without stopping the supplement.
The safety data advises against taking caralluma during pregnancy. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable safety information, so it's best avoided.
If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering this supplement.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions

The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Caralluma might interest someone exploring options for weight management or anxiety, but the evidence for obesity is weak and for anxiety it's unclear. If you take any medications, check them against this product first using the tool on this page.
Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of high blood pressure.
