HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Irvingia Gabonensis Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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: Irvingia gabonensis powder. It comes with no 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 Irvingia Gabonensis product and its label doesn't state a use — see Irvingia Gabonensis'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 Irvingia gabonensis is insufficient to rate it for any of its common uses — diabetes, high cholesterol, weight loss, or metabolic syndrome. We don't have reliable human data showing it works for these purposes, so we can't say whether it actually does.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Irvingia Gabonensis

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.

Irvingia gabonensis is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety isn't well established. The most common side effects reported are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea.

One case of acute liver inflammation (hepatitis) has been reported after ten days of use at a higher dose, though it's rare. The product should not be used during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data.

Similarly, there's no reliable safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Irvingia Gabonensis

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 — Irvingia Gabonensis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 94 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 antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications), Irvingia gabonensis may lower your blood sugar further and raise the risk of low blood sugar — your doctor may need to monitor you closely or adjust your dose. If you're on testosterone products, there's a theoretical risk of additive effects on testosterone levels, so use cautiously or avoid it.

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.

Irvingia gabonensis powder may be considered by people curious about traditional weight-loss or metabolic supplements, but the evidence it works is incomplete. If you take any antidiabetes medication or testosterone product, you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — the interactions could affect how well your medication works or how high your blood levels go.

Long-term safety data is limited, so keep that in mind.

Irvingia Gabonensis Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Irvingia Gabonensis Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Irvingia Gabonensis Powder has a known interaction with 94 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Irvingia Gabonensis Powder 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 Irvingia gabonensis if I'm on diabetes medication?
Human research shows Irvingia gabonensis lowers blood sugar, so combining it with your antidiabetes drug could increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your doctor or pharmacist needs to know if you're considering this — they may want to monitor your blood glucose closely or adjust your medication dose.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common ones reported are flatulence, headache, insomnia, and nausea. One rare case of liver inflammation was reported after ten days at a higher dose. It's generally well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety data is limited.
Is Irvingia gabonensis proven to help with weight loss or cholesterol?
No — the evidence we have is insufficient to rate it for weight loss, high cholesterol, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. We don't have reliable human data showing it actually works for these purposes.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, so it's best avoided then. Similarly, there's no reliable safety information while breastfeeding, so it should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding.
What exactly is Irvingia gabonensis?
It's a powder from the Irvingia gabonensis plant, sometimes used in traditional supplements for metabolic or weight-loss support. This product contains only that ingredient — no fillers.
Should I be concerned about taking it long-term?
Yes — the long-term safety and product quality of Irvingia gabonensis aren't well established. Most safety data we have is from short-term use, so talk with your doctor about how long it's safe for you to take it.
