HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Graviola by BareOrganics

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: organic graviola, a tropical fruit used in traditional medicine. The liquid also includes citric acid as an inactive ingredient.

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 isn't established in our data. It's been studied for human papillomavirus (HPV), headache, male infertility, and as an insect repellent, but the research we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these uses.

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 use of graviola may not be safe. The most common side effects reported in a clinical study were nausea and burning pain in the upper abdomen (epigastrium).

More serious but rare side effects include movement disorders and nerve damage (myeloneuropathy) that resemble Parkinson disease symptoms. One large study in patients with Parkinson disease found that even low amounts of graviola fruit, juice, or herbal tea containing graviola were linked to worse movement and thinking symptoms.

Graviola is rated possibly unsafe during pregnancy and best avoided while breastfeeding — not enough safety data exists to know either way. The data we hold also notes that human safety information is limited and lab studies raise concerns about possible nerve toxicity with long-term use.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Graviola

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.

Before you start this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take carbamazepine (Tegretol) — graviola may lower its blood levels and reduce how well it works to control seizures.

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 has very limited proven benefits and some real safety concerns, especially with regular use. If you take carbamazepine for seizures, it's a definite conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Even if you don't take that drug, talk with your own healthcare provider about whether this product makes sense for you, given what we know about potential nerve damage and movement problems.
