HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Caralluma 800 mg by Herbal Secrets

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 fimbriata whole plant extract, a cactus-like plant used traditionally as an appetite suppressant. The capsules also hold inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and cellulose — which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule.

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: weight management and appetite suppression.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, overweight, metabolic health, body composition.
  • The closest evidence on file: Caralluma is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Caralluma fimbriata is mixed. For obesity, studies rate it as possibly ineffective — meaning there's some trial data, but it doesn't clearly show it works for weight loss.

For generalized anxiety disorder and Prader-Willi syndrome, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say either way. If you're thinking about this supplement for one of those reasons, talk it over with your doctor first.

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 over the short term in studies, but we don't have solid long-term safety data yet. The most common side effects — abdominal distention, constipation, flatulence, and gastritis — usually show up in the first two weeks and often ease up on their own.

One person in a trial had a temporary spike in blood pressure, which later settled down. For pregnancy, the safety data isn't there, so it's best avoided.

The same goes for breastfeeding — there's not enough reliable information to recommend it.

Meds to double-check

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 fimbriata is generally tolerated short-term and has no documented interactions with medications we can check. However, evidence for weight loss is weak, and long-term safety isn't well established.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Formula

Grown in India, Caralluma extract comes from a succulent plant or cactus. Herbal Secrets' Caralluma supplement helps to support healthy weight management by suppressing one's appetite and stop cravings. In addition, Caralluma promotes lean muscle mass and energy production as Caralluma helps with fat metabolism.

Caralluma 800 mg by Herbal Secrets: Common Questions

Does Caralluma 800 mg by Herbal Secrets interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Caralluma 800 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Caralluma 800 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.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common ones in the first two weeks are stomach bloating, constipation, gas, and stomach irritation — but these usually go away on their own. One person in a trial had a temporary rise in blood pressure that came back down.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Short-term use in studies looks okay, but we don't have good data on whether it's safe over months or years. If you're thinking about using it long-term, check with your doctor.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — safety data for pregnancy is thin enough that it's best avoided, and the same goes for breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor about other options.
Does Caralluma actually help with weight loss?
The evidence says it's probably not effective for obesity. If that's your reason for considering it, you and your doctor might want to explore other approaches with better evidence behind them.
Does this contain any fillers?
Yes — the capsule includes microcrystalline cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and cellulose to help it hold together and stay stable.
What's Caralluma fimbriata?
It's a succulent plant — something like a cactus — that has been used in traditional medicine as an appetite suppressant. Today it shows up in weight-loss supplements, though the research on how well it works is limited.
