HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Garcinia Cambogia Extract 500 mg by Rx Select Nutraceuticals

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: garcinia cambogia fruit extract at 500 mg per tablet. The extract's main compound is hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is what researchers believe drives garcinia's effects.

The inactive ingredients—calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, film coat, magnesium stearate, and silica—are fillers and binders that hold the tablet together and help it dissolve.

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 Garcinia's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: reduce appetite and suppress carbohydrate cravings.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, weight management, appetite control.
  • The closest evidence on file: Garcinia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for garcinia cambogia is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for athletic performance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), or obesity.

While HCA has reduced blood sugar in animal studies, that effect hasn't been confirmed in people. If you're considering this supplement for any of those reasons, the science behind it isn't solid enough to say it will help.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Garcinia

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.

Garcinia is generally well tolerated in the short term. The most common side effects are diarrhea, stomach upset, headache, and nausea—typically mild.

However, rare but serious adverse effects have been reported, including liver injury (sometimes severe enough to cause liver failure), mania (especially in people with bipolar disorder, usually appearing 1–8 weeks after starting), and in one documented case, heart inflammation. The safety data available is sparse, which is why it's not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Garcinia

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 — Garcinia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 705 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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any of the following: antidepressants and other serotonergic drugs (moderate risk of serotonin syndrome), blood thinners or antiplatelet agents like warfarin or aspirin (moderate risk of increased bleeding), diabetes medications (moderate risk of low blood sugar), or any drug known to affect your liver function (moderate risk of liver injury). No interactions are documented for ingredients we couldn't evaluate, but garcinia itself carries documented moderate-severity risks with these four medication types.

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.

Garcinia cambogia may be worth a conversation with your doctor if you're interested in it for weight or metabolic support, but the evidence it actually works is weak. The bigger concern is its interactions with antidepressants, blood thinners, diabetes medications, and liver-affecting drugs—and the rare but real risk of liver damage.

If you take any prescription medication or have liver, heart, or mood concerns, talk with your own pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Garcinia cambogia fruit extract4 drug types · 704 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the main active ingredient in garcinia, might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
HCA inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro. The inhibitory effect seems to be greater in platelets extracted from diabetic subjects than non-diabetic subjects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the main active ingredient in garcinia, might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
HCA reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels in animal models, theoretically by delaying glucose absorption. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage.
There have been reports of acute hepatitis with elevated liver enzymes associated with garcinia, when taken alone or in combination with other ingredients. Case reports collected from the Drug Induced Liver Injury Network suggest this risk may be greater in people who carry the HLA B*35:01 allele.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Theoretically, combining garcinia with other serotonergic drugs might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects, including serotonin syndrome.
In one report, a patient experienced serotonin syndrome after taking garcinia extract (60% hydroxycitric acid) 1000 mg daily in combination with escitalopram 20 mg, which had been taken for a year. The patient was switched to sertraline 50 mg daily and again experienced serotonin syndrome.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract 500 mg by Rx Select Nutraceuticals: Common Questions

Does Garcinia Cambogia Extract 500 mg by Rx Select Nutraceuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Garcinia Cambogia Extract 500 mg has a known interaction with 704 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Garcinia Cambogia Extract 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 garcinia cambogia supposed to do?
Garcinia is marketed mainly for weight management and metabolic support, and researchers have tested it for athletic performance, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and obesity. However, the evidence in our data shows insufficient reliable evidence for all of those uses. HCA does lower blood sugar in animals, but we don't have proof it works that way in people.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—the safety data is too thin. Garcinia is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because we don't have enough information to know whether it's safe for your baby. Talk with your doctor about alternatives.
What are the side effects?
Most common ones are diarrhea, stomach discomfort, headache, and nausea. Rare but serious side effects include liver injury or failure, mania (especially in people with bipolar disorder), and in one case, heart inflammation. If you develop severe stomach pain, mood changes, or signs of liver trouble (dark urine, yellowing of skin or eyes), stop and contact your doctor right away.
Is garcinia safe if I have bipolar disorder?
You should avoid it or discuss it carefully with your psychiatrist. There are documented cases of mania triggered by garcinia in people with bipolar disorder, usually within 1–8 weeks of starting. This is a serious concern and needs personalized medical advice.
Does this supplement have fillers?
Yes. The tablet contains inactive ingredients including calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, and others that serve as binders and fillers to hold the tablet together.
