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.

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 a single active ingredient: jambolan powder (Eugenia jambolana). Jambolan is a traditional seed used in folk medicine, especially in South Asia.

The powder form lets you add it to foods or drinks as a supplement. There are no inactive ingredients listed — it's just the powder itself.

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.

The evidence we hold on jambolan for diabetes and venous leg ulcers is insufficient to rate — we don't have reliable data on how well it works for these uses in people. While animal studies suggest it may lower blood glucose, that's not proof it will help you.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether this fits what you're hoping to treat.

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 of the jambolan plant is eaten as food widely, but concentrated supplement doses like this powder aren't well studied in people. The safety data advises against taking jambolan supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there simply isn't enough information to know it's safe in medicinal amounts.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this.

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 powder, double-check these medication types: diabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, and others), because jambolan lowers blood sugar and the combination raises your low blood sugar risk; and drugs metabolized through the CYP2C9 pathway in your liver, including some blood thinners, heart medications, and pain relievers, because jambolan may raise their levels. If you take sitagliptin (Januvia) for diabetes, also flag that — the interaction is complex and needs monitoring.

Use the checker on this page to run your exact prescriptions.

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.

Jambolan powder might interest you if you're exploring traditional remedies, but it has documented interactions with diabetes medications and a large group of drugs your liver processes. If you take any prescription medications — especially diabetes drugs or heart and blood pressure medicines — check them against the tool below before you start.

Pregnant or breastfeeding folks should skip it. Chat with your pharmacist about whether this is right for you.

Eugenia jambolana, 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.

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 186 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 jambolan seed powder safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There isn't enough information to know concentrated doses are safe. If you're pregnant, planning to conceive, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Will this help my blood sugar or diabetes?
The evidence we hold is insufficient to rate — we don't have reliable data on how well it works in people. Animal studies suggest it may lower blood glucose, but that's not proof. Your pharmacist can discuss whether this fits your situation.
What is jambolan, exactly?
Jambolan (Eugenia jambolana) is a seed from a tropical fruit tree used in traditional medicine, especially in South Asia. The fruit itself is eaten as food, but this product is a concentrated supplement powder.
Why does the label say jambolan interacts with so many medications?
Jambolan may slow how your liver clears drugs that use a specific metabolic pathway (CYP2C9), which affects over 180 different medications — blood thinners, heart drugs, pain relievers, and others. That's why checking your exact prescriptions is important before you start.
If jambolan lowers blood sugar, can I use it alongside my diabetes medicine?
Not without close monitoring and your doctor's okay. Jambolan can lower blood sugar on its own, so combining it with diabetes medication raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your blood glucose levels need watching, and your medication dose may need adjusting.
Are there any side effects listed for jambolan?
No adverse effects are documented in our data. That said, concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied in people — the fruit is eaten as food, but medicinal amounts are less clear.
