HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Guanabana Extract by BulkSupplements.com

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: guanabana extract, which comes from the graviola plant. The powder form makes it easy to mix into drinks or food.

There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

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 guanabana extract isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for human papillomavirus (HPV), headache, use as an insect repellent, or male infertility — meaning studies are either missing, too small, or inconclusive.

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 guanabana may not be safe. The most common side effects are stomach pain and nausea, especially with daily doses around 300 mg.

Rare but serious concerns include movement disorders and nerve damage that can resemble Parkinson disease symptoms. One large study of people with Parkinson disease found that even small amounts of graviola fruit, juice, or tea were linked to worsening movement and thinking problems.

Because human safety data are limited and lab work raises concerns about possible long-term nerve damage, it's important to be cautious with this supplement.

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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take carbamazepine (Tegretol) or any seizure medication — guanabana extract may lower the drug's effectiveness. No other medication interactions are documented for this ingredient.

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.

If you take carbamazepine for seizures, talk with your pharmacist before using this product — it may reduce how well the medication works. Because regular guanabana use carries real safety concerns including nerve damage and movement problems, and because the evidence for its benefits is thin, most people should discuss whether this is right for them with their healthcare provider.

Guanabana Extract by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Guanabana Extract by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Guanabana Extract has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Guanabana Extract 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.
Can I take guanabana if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against guanabana in pregnancy, and there's no reliable safety information for breastfeeding, so it should be avoided during both. Talk with your doctor or midwife about any supplement use during pregnancy or lactation.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Stomach pain and nausea are the most common side effects, especially with regular daily use. Rarely, people have experienced movement disorders and nerve damage that can look like Parkinson disease. If you notice shaking, stiffness, or changes in thinking, stop taking it and contact your doctor.
Is there evidence guanabana works for HPV, headaches, or insect repellent?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works for any of those uses. The studies either don't exist or aren't strong enough to draw a conclusion.
Why does the label say there are no inactive ingredients?
This is just the powder form of guanabana extract with no fillers, binders, or other added ingredients listed — it's the extract alone.
