HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lime Powder by BulkSupplements.com

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: lime powder. Lime is a citrus fruit typically used as a flavoring and food additive, and it's available here in powdered form.

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 Lime product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lime'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 doesn't establish that lime powder is effective for iron deficiency anemia, malaria, sickle cell disease, or smoking cessation — the data on file shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lime

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.

Lime in normal food amounts is generally well tolerated. However, concentrated extracts or essential oils should be avoided unless your doctor clears them first, because safety of concentrated products isn't well studied.

Orally, lime juice may rarely cause diarrhea or tooth sensitivity and wear. Topically, lime oil and juice can cause allergic skin reactions, and a common concern is phytophotodermatitis — a severe sunburn-like reaction when skin exposed to lime comes into contact with sunlight.

Pregnancy and lactation safety data isn't on file for this ingredient.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lime.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.

Before taking this product, check your medications against these two types: drugs that cause photosensitivity (Moderate severity — increased risk of sun-triggered severe skin reactions), and CYP3A4 substrates (Moderate severity — potentially raised drug levels).
