HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Jamun Seed Powder by Bixa Botanical

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: jambolan (Eugenia jambolana, in powder form). Our data lists no inactive ingredients for this product.

Because jambolan is the only active ingredient, the effects and interactions described on this page all trace back to it. Our data does not describe a separate role for any other component.

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 Jambolan product and its label doesn't state a use — see Jambolan'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.

Our data rates jambolan as insufficient reliable evidence to rate for diabetes, and also as insufficient reliable evidence to rate for venous leg ulcers (open sores on the leg). That means the evidence for either use is not established in the data we hold.

It does not mean the product has been shown not to work.

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.

Our data notes that the fruit is widely eaten as food, but concentrated supplement doses are not well studied, so caution is advised. Safety data for medicinal amounts is limited, and the safety data we hold advises avoiding supplement forms during pregnancy.

Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, and the data says supplement use is best avoided. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your own doctor or pharmacist, since there is not enough data for a personal answer.

No adverse effects are listed in our data, but that does not guarantee none will occur.

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: 187 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.

Double-check antidiabetes drugs first, rated Moderate, because of the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Next, check CYP2C9 substrates, also rated Moderate, and then sitagliptin (Januvia), rated Minor.

Run each medication through the search tool on this page, and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining anything.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Jamun seed powder may interest people curious about traditional fruit-based products, but the evidence for diabetes and leg ulcers is not established in our data. If you take antidiabetes medicine, sitagliptin, or a drug cleared by CYP2C9, be careful and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist first.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your own healthcare provider before considering it.

Eugenia jambolana, Powder3 drug types · 187 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.

Jamun Seed Powder by Bixa Botanical: Common Questions

Does Jamun Seed Powder by Bixa Botanical interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Jamun Seed Powder has a known interaction with 187 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Jamun 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.
Is jamun seed powder effective for diabetes?
Our data rates the evidence for diabetes as insufficient reliable evidence to rate, so its benefit is not established. Animal research has shown blood-sugar lowering, but that does not confirm the same effect in people.
Does it work for venous leg ulcers?
Our data rates the evidence for venous leg ulcers as insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That means it is not established in the data we hold.
Why is the fruit considered fine to eat but the supplement is treated with caution?
The fruit is widely eaten as food, but concentrated supplement doses are not well studied. That gap in research is why our data advises caution with the supplement form.
Does this supplement have side effects?
No adverse effects are listed in our data for this product. That does not guarantee that side effects cannot occur, so talk with your own doctor or pharmacist about any concerns.
