HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CSAT 500 mg by SuperSmart

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 11, 2026

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “CSAT” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

CSAT 500 mg contains 2 active ingredients: carob and carob extract. Both come from the same plant and work similarly.

The supplement also includes acacia gum as an inactive ingredient (a binder).

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 Carob's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Carob 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: Diarrhea — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Carob and carob extract are possibly effective for diarrhea, according to the evidence we hold. The data we have isn't strong enough to rate them for athletic performance, blood sugar control, or familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic cholesterol condition).

If you're considering this product for diarrhea, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Carob

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.

Carob is widely eaten as a food and is generally considered safe in normal food amounts. But this product is a concentrated supplement dose, and safety data on those doses is limited—use caution.

Allergic reactions have been reported in infants exposed to carob in formula, including rash, vomiting, and severe intestinal inflammation. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an infant, there isn't enough data on file to know whether this supplement is safe; talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Carob

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Carob.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 2,023 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 starting CSAT 500 mg, check whether you take any oral medications—the product may reduce their absorption. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact drug names and doses.

No other severity levels of interactions are documented for the ingredients we hold data for.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

CSAT 500 mg may help with diarrhea, but the evidence is modest. The main thing to watch is timing: take it at least 30–60 minutes away from your oral medications to avoid reducing how well they're absorbed.

If you're on multiple medications or pregnant, check with your pharmacist first.

CSAT 500 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does CSAT 500 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, CSAT 500 mg has a known interaction with 2,022 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
CSAT 500 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 is carob, and why is it in this supplement?
Carob comes from a tree and is widely eaten as a food. In this supplement, it's included because the evidence suggests it's possibly effective for diarrhea. It's generally recognized as safe when eaten as food, though safety data on concentrated supplement doses is limited.
Why do I need to space this 30–60 minutes away from my medications?
Lab research shows carob can interfere with how your body absorbs certain substances, including minerals and potentially your oral medications. Spacing them gives your medications time to be absorbed before the carob gets in the way.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Carob is generally well tolerated in food amounts. Allergic reactions and severe vomiting have been reported in infants given carob in formula, but safety data on this supplement dose in adults isn't detailed in our records. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop and talk to your pharmacist.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data on file to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Does this product have any fillers or other inactive ingredients?
Yes, it contains acacia gum, which is a binder used to hold the capsule together. The active ingredients are carob and carob extract.
