HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mangosteen 475 mg by Solaray

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: mangosteen, a tropical fruit extract, at 475 mg per capsule. The product also includes two inactive ingredients — vegetable cellulose for the capsule itself and an organic rice extract blend — which are fillers and binders that hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Mangosteen's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Mangosteen for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Periodontitis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Mangosteen has possibly effective evidence for periodontitis (gum disease). For other uses — androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss), Alzheimer's disease, and atopic dermatitis (eczema) — the evidence we have isn't strong enough to rate whether it works.

If you're considering it for one of those conditions, the data just isn't settled yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Mangosteen

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.

Mangosteen is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term safety of concentrated supplements like this one hasn't been thoroughly studied. In trials at doses up to 560 mg daily, some participants reported mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, malaise, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry throat, and flu-like symptoms — though it's unclear whether mangosteen itself caused them.

During pregnancy, the safety data advises against supplement amounts of mangosteen. The same applies while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Mangosteen

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 — Mangosteen.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 125 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 product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — mangosteen may increase bleeding risk. Also flag it if you take donepezil (Aricept) for Alzheimer's disease.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Mangosteen may be worth considering if you have gum disease, though the evidence is modest. If you take blood thinners or donepezil, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — the interaction risk is real.

For other uses, the evidence isn't yet strong enough to know if it helps. Either way, a chat with your own healthcare provider beforehand is a good idea.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of mangosteen with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs may increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro and animal research shows that gamma-mangostin, a constituent of mangosteen, is a potent and competitive antagonist of the serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor. Antagonism of the 5-HT2A receptor is believed to reduce platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Donepezil (Aricept)

Theoretically, concomitant use of mangosteen with donepezil might increase the effects of donepezil.
Animal research shows that concomitant use of an aqueous extract of mangosteen pericarp with donepezil increases brain concentrations of donepezil at 4 hours by 64% without associated effects on systemic exposure.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
