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.

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.

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
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 Caralluma's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: appetite suppression and weight management.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, appetite control, satiety, overweight.
  • The closest evidence on file: Caralluma is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Caralluma

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.

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 interactions are documented in our data for caralluma. That said, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page, and discuss this supplement with your doctor or pharmacist before you begin — they know your full health picture.

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.

Caralluma 1,000 mg by Bio Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Caralluma 1,000 mg by Bio Nutrition interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Caralluma 1,000 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Caralluma 1,000 mg 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'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable safety information, so it's also best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
What side effects should I expect?
In early use, some people experience bloating, constipation, gas, or stomach irritation. These usually go away within the first two weeks. One trial participant with high blood pressure saw a temporary rise, which resolved on its own.
Does caralluma actually help with weight loss?
The research suggests it's possibly ineffective for obesity. If that's your goal, you'll want to have a fuller conversation with your doctor about what's proven to work.
How long has this supplement been tested?
Short-term studies exist, but long-term safety hasn't been well established. That's an important gap to keep in mind if you're thinking of taking it for months on end.
Does this interact with my blood pressure medication?
We don't have documented interactions between caralluma and blood pressure drugs. However, one trial participant with high blood pressure did experience a temporary rise while taking it, so check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — especially if you have hypertension.
