HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Graviola 500 mg by LuckyHerbs

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

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: soursop (also called graviola), supplied as 500 mg per capsule. The capsules themselves include inactive ingredients like hypromellose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide—standard capsule materials and binders.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Graviola product and its label doesn't state a use — see Graviola's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for graviola's effectiveness isn't established. For the uses studied—human papillomavirus (HPV), headache, and insect repellent, plus male infertility—the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

In short, we don't have solid research backing these claims yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Graviola

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.

Regular graviola use carries safety cautions. Some people report nausea and upper stomach pain (epigastrium pain), especially at higher doses.

More concerning, long-term graviola consumption is linked in rare cases to movement disorders and nerve damage (myeloneuropathy) that can resemble Parkinson disease—and a large study suggests that even small amounts of graviola may worsen symptoms in people who already have Parkinson disease. Lab studies also raise questions about possible nerve toxicity with long-term use.

Graviola is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided while breastfeeding due to lack of safety data. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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 — Graviola.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 1 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 carbamazepine (Tegretol) for seizures, graviola may lower your blood levels of this medication and reduce how well it works. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Graviola's traditional uses—for HPV, headache, and insect control—aren't backed by strong evidence in the data we hold. The bigger concern is safety: regular use may cause nausea, stomach pain, and in rare cases serious nerve problems that resemble Parkinson disease.

It's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you take carbamazepine or have Parkinson disease, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Formula

Graviola tree (Annona muricata), also known as soursop, is found in tropical areas of the world. Its leaves have a long history of use by traditional herbalists. More recent scientific studies suggest that ace-togenins, the active constituents of graviola, can support healthy cell growth and function. Other active compounds found in graviola leaves have free radical scavenging properties.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Graviola 500 mg has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.

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.
