HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Heart Guard by Organic India

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Heart Guard contains three active ingredients. Organic arjuna (Terminalia) has been used traditionally for heart health.

Organic sahijan (moringa) is a plant leaf commonly used in traditional medicine. Organic Reetha is also included.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Cardiovascular support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Angina, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Atherosclerosis — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Angina (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Terminalia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Coronary heart disease (CHD), Heart failure, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension.
  • Also on file: Moringa is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hyperlipidemia.

The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. For arjuna, the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and chest pain (angina).

The same is true for sahijan (moringa) — we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for iron deficiency anemia, asthma, athletic performance, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, or high cholesterol. In short, we don't yet have solid evidence that either ingredient works for the conditions this product targets.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Terminalia Moringa

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Arjuna is generally well tolerated in short-term studies, though long-term safety data are sparse and quality varies between products. The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Moringa leaf appears generally well tolerated as food, but robust safety studies are limited. Medicinal doses should be avoided during pregnancy because the root and bark may stimulate the uterus.

For breastfeeding, moringa has been traditionally used to boost milk supply, but safety hasn't been well studied — use caution. Orally, moringa may cause transient diarrhea (about one in four people in a trial experienced it), and rare cases of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and a serious skin condition called Stevens-Johnson syndrome have been reported.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Terminalia Moringa

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Terminalia, Moringa.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,041 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 Heart Guard, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (moderate severity), diabetes medications (moderate), liver-metabolized drugs processed through CYP3A4, CYP2D6, or CYP2C9 (moderate), thyroid hormone replacement like levothyroxine (moderate), muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone (moderate), heartburn medications like omeprazole (moderate), or P-glycoprotein substrates (moderate). Moringa also carries a minor-severity interaction with certain diabetes drugs and with nevirapine (an HIV medication).

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.

Heart Guard combines two traditionally used herbs with limited solid evidence of effectiveness and several moderate-severity medication interactions. If you take any blood thinners, diabetes drugs, liver-metabolized medications, muscle relaxants, heartburn medicine, or thyroid hormone, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this — they can check whether it's right for you.

organic Arjuna7 drug types · 933 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia arjuna with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding in some patients.
In vitro, Terminalia arjuna bark extract inhibits platelet aggregation, decreases platelet activation, and shows antithrombotic properties.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of Terminalia bellirica or Terminalia chebula with antidiabetes drugs could affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal and in vitro research shows that Terminalia bellirica and Terminalia chebula fruit and seed extract have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chlorzoxazone (Parafon Forte, Paraflex)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from chlorzoxazone.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of chlorzoxazone increases blood levels of chlorzoxazone and decreases chlorzoxazone clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of chlorzoxazone by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2E1.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2C9 enzymes and reduces CYP2C9 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes and reduces CYP2D6 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, use of Terminalia arjuna may increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Terminalia arjuna extract inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and reduces CYP3A4 substrate metabolism.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Omeprazole (Prilosec)

Theoretically, use of Terminalia chebula may increase the risk of adverse effects from omeprazole.
Animal research shows that enteral administration of Terminalia chebula for 15 days prior to administration of omeprazole increases blood levels of omeprazole and decreases omeprazole clearance. It is speculated that Terminalia chebula reduces the metabolism of omeprazole by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C19.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
organic Arjuna full monograph & interactions

organic Sahijan6 drug types · 869 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, moringa might increase or decrease levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Some in vitro research suggests that moringa inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). However, other in vitro research suggests that moringa extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes. A pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine, which is partially metabolized by CYP3A4, when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Theoretically, moringa leaf can antagonize the effects of levothyroxine.
Animal research suggests that moringa aqueous leaf extract might reduce serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations by inhibiting the peripheral conversion of thyroxine (T4) to T3.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, moringa leaf extract might increase the levels and clinical effects of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa leaf extract inhibits renal P-glycoprotein transport activity. So far, this reaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, moringa might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal research shows that moringa can lower blood glucose levels. However, research in humans has not shown consistent blood glucose lowering effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, moringa might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nevirapine (Viramune)

Moringa leaf is unlikely to have a clinically significant interaction with nevirapine.
Nevirapine is partially metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). In vitro evidence suggests that moringa inhibits CYP3A4. However, a pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in nevirapine pharmacokinetics when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.

Heart Guard by Organic India: Common Questions

Does Heart Guard by Organic India interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Heart Guard has a known interaction with 1,040 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Heart Guard contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Is Heart Guard safe to take during pregnancy?
No — the safety data advise against arjuna during pregnancy, and moringa's root and bark may stimulate the uterus with limited safety information. Talk with your doctor before considering it if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Is Heart Guard safe while breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against arjuna while breastfeeding. Moringa has been traditionally used to boost milk supply, but safety hasn't been well studied, so use caution. Discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Can moringa cause side effects?
Yes. The most common is transient diarrhea — about one in four people in a trial experienced it. Rarely, allergic reactions including anaphylaxis and a serious skin condition called Stevens-Johnson syndrome have been reported.
Does arjuna actually work for heart health?
We don't have enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether arjuna works for heart-related conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or angina. The evidence rating is insufficient.
Does moringa work for diabetes?
We don't have enough reliable evidence in our data to confirm moringa lowers blood sugar or helps diabetes. The evidence rating is insufficient, and in fact it interacts with diabetes medications, so talk to your doctor first if that's why you're considering it.
