HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Caralluma by Herbal Terra

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 liquid contains one active ingredient: caralluma root extract, dry. Caralluma is a succulent plant used in traditional medicine, and this extract concentrates what's believed to be its active compounds.

The other ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin — these help dissolve and preserve the extract.

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.
  • The closest evidence on file: Caralluma is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for caralluma is limited. For obesity, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For generalized anxiety disorder and Prader-Willi syndrome, we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works. If weight management or anxiety relief is your goal, talk with us about what the research actually supports.

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 studies, but we don't know much about long-term safety yet. In the first two weeks of use, some people in trials reported stomach upset — abdominal bloating, constipation, gas, or gastritis — though these symptoms often went away on their own.

One person with high blood pressure saw a temporary spike while taking it, but the effect didn't return. Because safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding is either absent or insufficient, the safety information advises against it during both.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or us before using this product.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for caralluma. That said, we have no interaction monograph on file, so it's wise to double-check your specific medications with the search tool on this page 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 might be worth trying if you're curious about herbal appetite support, but the evidence for weight loss is weak. Long-term safety isn't proven, and pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data is insufficient.

If stomach upset happens early on, it often settles down — but check with us first, especially if you're on medications.

Caralluma by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Caralluma by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Caralluma. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Caralluma 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.
Will caralluma help me lose weight?
The evidence suggests caralluma is possibly ineffective for obesity. If weight loss is your goal, we'd recommend talking with us about options with stronger research behind them.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people don't have problems, but in the first two weeks you might get stomach bloating, gas, constipation, or mild gastritis. These usually go away on their own. One person on the extract had a temporary blood pressure increase, but it came back down.
Can I take caralluma if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't there — it's best avoided in both cases. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
How long can I safely take this?
Short-term use seems generally well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety hasn't been well established. Check in with us if you're thinking of using it regularly.
What exactly is caralluma?
It's a succulent plant, and this product uses a dried extract of the root. The extract concentrates the plant's active compounds and is mixed with alcohol, water, and glycerin in this liquid form.
