HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Extra Strength Hoodia 800 mg by DC
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
This product contains one active ingredient: South African Hoodia gordonii at 800 mg per capsule. Hoodia is a plant used in weight management supplements.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — gelatin, rice flour, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate hoodia for obesity or weight loss. While it's widely marketed for appetite suppression, the scientific evidence available doesn't establish whether it actually works for that purpose.
If you're considering it for weight management, that's a conversation worth having with your doctor.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Hoodia has limited safety data on file. It's been reported to cause minor side effects including tingling or numbness in the skin, headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea.
There's also concern that it can raise blood pressure and heart rate. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe, so both should be avoided.
If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medications (such as captopril, enalapril, losartan, or valsartan), beta-blockers (like atenolol or metoprolol), diabetes drugs, or insulin. Hoodia may reduce how well blood pressure and heart drugs work, and it may strengthen the glucose-lowering effects of diabetes medications — both carry Moderate-level risks.
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.
Extra Strength Hoodia 800 mg might appeal to you if you're looking for an appetite suppressant, but the evidence for whether it works isn't established in our data. More importantly, it carries Moderate-level interactions with blood pressure drugs, heart medications, and diabetes treatments — so if you take any of those, this isn't a product to start without checking with your own doctor or pharmacist first.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are off limits. Given the limited safety profile and the medication interactions, it's worth a careful conversation with your healthcare provider before you begin.

Extra Strength Hoodia 800 mg by DC Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Extra Strength Hoodia 800 mg by DC contains South African Hoodia gordonii, which interacts with blood pressure medications, heart drugs, and diabetes treatments.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs) — hoodia can raise your blood pressure, which may weaken how well these drugs work and increase your risk of high blood pressure returning.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Hoodia also interacts with beta-blockers (heart and blood pressure medications like atenolol and metoprolol) at a Moderate level. The supplement may stimulate receptors that these drugs are meant to block, potentially reducing their effectiveness.
Additionally, hoodia may enhance the blood glucose-lowering effects of diabetes medications and insulin, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) — so if you take diabetes drugs or insulin, your blood sugar will need monitoring.
Altogether, these interactions span 262 individual medications. Before you start this product, use the search tool below to check your exact medications, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe to combine them.

South African Hoodia gordonii
Antidiabetes Drugs
Animal research shows that a steroid glycoside of hoodia, gordonoside F, increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by activating GPR119. This effect enhances glucose disposal. Theoretically, concomitant use of hoodia with antidiabetes medications may enhance blood glucose-lowering effects and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Some antidiabetes medications include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Clinical research shows that hoodia can increase blood pressure. Theoretically, concomitant use of hoodia with antihypertensive drugs might decrease the effectiveness of the antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypertension. Some antihypertensive drugs include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), Amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.
Beta-Blockers
Evidence from in vitro research shows that hoodia may stimulate beta-adrenergic receptors. Also, clinical research shows that hoodia can increase blood pressure and heart rate. Theoretically, using hoodia with beta-blockers might decrease the effects of these medications. Some beta-blocker drugs include atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard), and propranolol (Inderal).
Insulin
Animal research shows that a steroid glycoside of hoodia, gordonoside F, increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by activating GPR119. Theoretically, concomitant use of hoodia with insulin may enhance the blood glucose-lowering effects of insulin. Blood glucose levels should be monitored.
