HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Equibolin by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals

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
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.

Equibolin contains 2 active ingredients. The first is maral root extract in a concentrated 100:1 form — a plant derived from Rhaponticum carthamoides traditionally used in sports and athletic contexts.

The second ingredient is a steroid compound: 3-Beta-Hydroxy-1,4-Androstadien-17-One Undecanoate, 17a-Hydroxy-Pregna-1,4-Diene-3,20-Dione. The product also contains several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, phosphatidylcholine, hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin, phytosterols, magnesium stearate, silica, and colorants — that serve as fillers and binders.

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 Maral Root's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: increase testosterone and lean muscle gains.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, muscle hypertrophy, strength, anabolic response.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maral Root is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).

The data we hold does not establish that maral root improves athletic performance; the evidence is rated insufficient. We have no effectiveness information on file for the second active ingredient in this product.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Maral root has limited human safety data, so caution and professional guidance are advised if you're considering it. The safety information we hold advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient data.

We hold no safety data on file for the second active ingredient, 3-Beta-Hydroxy-1,4-Androstadien-17-One Undecanoate, 17a-Hydroxy-Pregna-1,4-Diene-3,20-Dione.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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 — Maral Root.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), NSAIDs like diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam), or similar medications — check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Equibolin. Maral root may increase your bleeding risk when combined with these drugs.

We could not check the second ingredient for interactions.

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 some safety-information gaps remain.

Equibolin is a two-ingredient product with sparse safety evidence. If you take any blood thinner or NSAID — including aspirin, clopidogrel, or anti-inflammatories — you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product, because the maral root component may increase bleeding risk.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also discuss this with their healthcare provider first, since safety data in these situations is not established.
