HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Coccinia Non-Alcohol 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic coccinia extract, also known as ivy gourd. The liquid also includes vegetable palm glycerin and Hawaiian artesian water as inactive ingredients to create the formula.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Ivy Gourd's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Ivy Gourd for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Diabetes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Ivy gourd has possibly effective evidence for helping with blood glucose control in people with diabetes, according to the data we hold. That said, the research isn't conclusive, and if you're considering it for blood sugar support, talk it over with your doctor first—especially if you're already on diabetes medication.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Ivy Gourd

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.

Ivy gourd leaf is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. A small number of users report mild nausea, headache, and drowsiness, but these side effects are not common.

There isn't enough safety information to recommend medicinal doses during pregnancy, so it's best avoided if you're pregnant. Safety during breastfeeding hasn't been established either, so medicinal use isn't recommended while nursing.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Ivy Gourd

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Ivy Gourd.
  • 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.
