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 it—meaning controlled studies in people are too limited or absent to draw firm conclusions. Animal research does suggest jambolan can lower blood glucose levels, but human trial data isn't established in our data.

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.

Jambolan fruit is eaten widely as a food, but concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied. The safety data advises against using it in supplement form during pregnancy and while breastfeeding—there isn't enough information to know it's safe at medicinal doses in either situation.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you during pregnancy or if you're nursing.

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 with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on diabetes medications (including sitagliptin or Januvia) or any drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP2C9—jambolan may affect how your body clears these and raise their levels.

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.

Java Plum Powder may be something to consider if you're curious about jambolan's traditional uses, but the evidence for its effectiveness in diabetes or leg ulcers isn't established yet. The bigger concern is its interactions with over 180 medications, especially diabetes drugs and certain liver-metabolized prescriptions.

Before you take it, check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it won't interfere with anything you're already taking.

Java Plum, 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.

Java Plum Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Java Plum Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Java Plum 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?
Java Plum 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 Java Plum Powder if I'm on diabetes medication?
You should check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Jambolan can lower blood sugar on its own, so combining it with diabetes drugs raises the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low. The interaction with sitagliptin (Januvia) is more complex—jambolan reduces how much sitagliptin your body absorbs, though animal studies suggest blood glucose control may still improve with both together. Your pharmacist can review your specific medication.
Is Java Plum Powder safe to take while pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against using it in supplement form during pregnancy—there isn't enough information to know concentrated doses are safe. Talk with your doctor about whether it's right for you.
Can I breastfeed while taking this powder?
The safety data recommends avoiding it in supplement form while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What does Java Plum Powder actually do?
The evidence we have on jambolan for diabetes and leg ulcers is insufficient to say it works—controlled human studies are too limited. Animal research does suggest it can lower blood glucose levels, but we don't have strong proof it works in people yet.
Does Java Plum Powder have any fillers or other ingredients in it?
No—it's pure jambolan powder with no inactive ingredients, fillers, or binders added.
