HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Caralluma 500 mg by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs
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 fimbriata extract (500 mg per capsule). Caralluma is a succulent plant traditionally used in appetite management.
The inactive ingredients are pullulan polysaccharide (capsule material), rice powder, bamboo extract powder, and rice extract blend — these are fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence on caralluma for weight loss is mixed. Studies suggest it's possibly ineffective for obesity.
For generalized anxiety disorder and Prader-Willi syndrome, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works — the data we hold simply isn't established in either direction.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Caralluma is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety hasn't been well established. In clinical trials, some people reported mild stomach issues — abdominal bloating, constipation, gas, and stomach inflammation — mostly in the first two weeks, and these often improved or resolved on their own.
One person with a history of high blood pressure saw a temporary rise in blood pressure while taking caralluma, but it came down and didn't return. There isn't enough safety information to use caralluma during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we checked. Even so, check your exact medications with the tool on this page, or confirm with your pharmacist before you start.
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 may appeal to you if you're exploring herbal options for appetite support, though the evidence on weight loss is limited. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, the safety data isn't clear enough — check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
For any questions about how it fits into your health routine, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.
