What is this page for?

Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Caralluma by Hawaii Pharm
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 extract, a plant-derived compound. Caralluma is the whole of what you're getting here — there's one ingredient doing the work.
The liquid also contains vegetable palm glycerin and alcohol as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for caralluma is mixed and mostly thin. For weight loss (obesity), the data suggests it's possibly ineffective — meaning the studies don't back up the idea that it helps.
For generalized anxiety disorder and Prader-Willi syndrome, there simply isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not. The research on this ingredient is still developing, and we can't draw solid conclusions yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Caralluma is generally well tolerated in the short term based on clinical trial data. The most common side effects early on — abdominal bloating, constipation, gas, and stomach inflammation — tend to fade within the first two weeks and have also appeared in placebo groups.
One trial participant with a history of high blood pressure saw a temporary rise while taking it, but the increase went away and didn't come back. Long-term safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't have solid data on what happens if you take it for months or years.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for caralluma extract in our data. Even so, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page before you start, and confirm with your pharmacist or doctor.
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 by Hawaii Pharm is a single-ingredient extract that's generally tolerated short-term but lacks strong evidence for weight loss or anxiety. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering this for long-term use, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first — they can weigh the limited evidence and your personal health picture.
