HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cissus Quadrangularis Extract by Herbadiet

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 16, 2026

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: Cissus quadrangularis (the plant extract itself) and Cissus Stem Extract. Both derive from the same plant and carry the same interaction and safety profile in our data.

The capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose, an inert ingredient.

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 Cissus Quadrangularis's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: joint and bone health, muscle mass, recovery.
  • We looked for evidence on: Fractures, Joint pain, Muscle strength, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, Tendon health — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cissus Quadrangularis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteopenia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cissus Quadrangularis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fractures, Muscle strength, Osteoporosis, Joint pain.

Cissus quadrangularis is rated possibly effective for obesity. Small studies suggest it may help reduce fasting blood glucose in people with excess weight.

For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), weak bones (osteopenia), cancer, and epilepsy, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cissus Quadrangularis

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.

Cissus quadrangularis is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The most commonly reported side effects—headache, insomnia, flatulence, diarrhea, stomach irritation (gastritis), and dry mouth—occurred at rates similar to or lower than placebo in trials.

There isn't enough safety data to use this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.

Known Interaction Concern · database check

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Cissus Quadrangularis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others). Cissus quadrangularis may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and could require dose adjustment of your medication.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking at this for weight management, small studies suggest it may help—but the evidence is still developing. The main caution is if you take blood sugar medication; you'll want to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since it may lower blood glucose further.

Long-term safety data is limited, so this is better suited to short-term use.
