HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Jambu Seed Powder by Herbal Hills

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 6, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This powder contains one active ingredient: jambolan seed powder (also called Jambu seed). In traditional use, jambolan has been taken for its potential effects on blood sugar and circulation.

The product contains no listed inactive ingredients — what you're getting is the powder itself.

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 — see Jambolan's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: healthy blood sugar management and liver support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Liver function, Digestive health, Antioxidant support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Jambolan is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish whether jambolan works for diabetes or venous leg ulcers (poor circulation in the legs). Both uses are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

Animal studies suggest it may lower blood glucose, but human trial data isn't on file here. If you're considering this for a specific condition, it's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist what the current evidence actually shows and whether it's a fit for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Jambolan

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

The fruit is widely eaten as food, but supplement doses — especially concentrated powders — haven't been well studied for safety. The data advises against taking medicinal amounts during pregnancy and lactation; there isn't enough information to know if it's safe in supplement form while breastfeeding.

No adverse effects (side effects) are documented in the data we hold, but that's not a guarantee none exist — just that formal trials haven't reported them here.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Jambolan

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 — Jambolan.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 186 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 this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any drugs broken down by the CYP2C9 liver enzyme — jambolan may raise their levels. If you take diabetes medications, that's another area to confirm, because jambolan itself can lower blood sugar.

There's also a documented interaction with sitagliptin (Januvia). Don't start this supplement without clearing it with your own healthcare provider.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Jambolan powder may appeal to someone interested in traditional blood sugar support, but the evidence for it isn't firm, and it can interact with a large number of medications. If you take any prescription drugs — especially those for diabetes or any that your liver metabolizes — you'll want to check them against this product before you start.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your situation.

Jambu seed powder3 drug types · 186 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Animal research shows that jambolan seed and bark extracts can lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, jambolan might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.

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

There is some in vitro evidence that jambolan can inhibit CYP2C9. Theoretically, concomitant use of jambolan with CYP2C9 substrates may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sitagliptin (Januvia)

Animal research shows that jambolan seed extract reduces the sitagliptin maximum plasma concentration and area under the curve by 39% and 22%, respectively. However, blood glucose levels were actually reduced to a greater extent in mice taking jambolan and sitagliptin in combination when compared with either product taken alone. Theoretically, jambolan seed extract might alter the clearance of sitagliptin, although this may not alter the clinical effects of sitagliptin.

Jambu Seed Powder by Herbal Hills: Common Questions

Does Jambu Seed Powder by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Jambu Seed Powder has a known interaction with 186 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Jambu Seed 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against it during pregnancy, and there isn't enough information to know if it's safe in supplement form while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether jambolan is appropriate for you during these times.
Will this help my blood sugar?
Animal research hints that jambolan might lower blood glucose, but we don't have enough reliable human trial evidence to say it works. If you're managing diabetes, it's something to discuss with your doctor, especially since it can interact with diabetes medications.
What exactly is in this powder?
It's 100% jambolan seed powder — the active ingredient. There are no fillers or other inactive ingredients listed.
Are there any side effects reported?
No adverse effects are documented in our data, though the data note that concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied for safety. The fruit itself is widely eaten as food, so it's generally well tolerated in that form.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
Not without checking first. Jambolan can lower blood sugar on its own, and combined with diabetes drugs it might push your glucose too low. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your routine.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Jambolan appears to affect a liver enzyme (CYP2C9) that breaks down a very large number of prescription drugs. When the enzyme is slowed, those drugs can build up in your bloodstream. That's why it's important to check your specific medications before you start.
