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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 13, 2026

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 the fruit concentrate in powder form, used traditionally for flavor and its potential nutritional content.

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 for lime powder's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. Claims about its use for iron deficiency anemia, malaria, sickle cell disease, and smoking cessation all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate, meaning research hasn't yet shown whether it works for these purposes.

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 powder is generally well tolerated in normal food amounts. However, concentrated extracts or essential oils should only be used under your doctor's supervision, as safety data on concentrated forms isn't well studied.

Orally, lime juice may rarely cause diarrhea or tooth wear from acidity. Topically, lime oil or juice can cause allergic skin reactions or phytophotodermatitis (a burn-like reaction when skin exposed to lime is then exposed to sunlight).

There's no pregnancy and lactation data on file for this product — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 — Lime.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 887 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 you start, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take photosensitizing drugs (those that make your skin sensitive to sun exposure) or any medications processed by the CYP3A4 enzyme in your liver — a group that includes many common blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart medications. The product may slow how your body clears these drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lime powder as a food additive is generally well tolerated, but this product may interact with a large number of medications — particularly those broken down by your liver. If you take any prescription drugs, especially for heart, blood pressure, or cholesterol, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

They can review your exact medications and let you know whether it's safe for you.

Lime Powder by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Lime Powder by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lime Powder has a known interaction with 886 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lime 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 lime powder safe to use every day?
Lime is safe in normal food amounts. But if you're using a concentrated powder product regularly, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — safety data on concentrated forms isn't well studied.
Can lime powder help with anemia or other health conditions?
The evidence isn't established yet. Claims about lime for iron deficiency anemia, malaria, sickle cell disease, and smoking cessation all lack sufficient research, so we can't say whether it works.
What are the side effects of lime powder?
Taken orally, lime juice may rarely cause diarrhea or make your teeth sensitive from the acid. If you apply it to your skin, it can cause allergic reactions or a burn-like rash if your skin is then exposed to the sun.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There's no safety data on file for this product during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you decide whether it's right for you based on your situation.
Why does the label say it interacts with so many medications?
Compounds in lime can slow how your liver breaks down a large group of medications (CYP3A4 substrates), which affects how your body clears them. This is why it's important to check your exact prescriptions with your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
