HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mangosteen by Herbal Terra

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: mangosteen dried juice powder liquid extract. Mangosteen is a tropical fruit whose pericarp (outer rind) has been used in traditional medicine, and the extract here concentrates its active compounds.

The product also contains menstruum, an inactive ingredient used as a carrier in liquid herbal extracts.

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 shows possibly effective evidence for periodontitis (gum infection). For androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss), Alzheimer disease, and atopic dermatitis (eczema), the evidence we hold rates as insufficient — meaning the data doesn't yet establish whether it works for those uses.

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 isn't well studied. At doses up to 560 mg daily, some trial participants reported mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, malaise, digestive upset (constipation, bloating, nausea, diarrhea), dry throat, and cold-like symptoms — though it's unclear whether mangosteen itself caused these.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data; the guidance advises against supplement amounts.

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 you take this, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, and others) — mangosteen may raise bleeding risk. Also clear it if you take donepezil for Alzheimer disease.

Altogether, these interactions span 125 individual medications.

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.

If you have periodontitis, mangosteen may be worth discussing with your dentist or doctor. If you take blood thinners, donepezil, or any other prescription medication, check your exact drugs with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.

Long-term safety data is limited, so talk with your healthcare provider about whether it's right for you.

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.

Mangosteen by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Mangosteen by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mangosteen has a known interaction with 125 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mangosteen 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 mangosteen if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't there — there's not enough information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in pregnancy or while nursing.
What side effects might I notice?
Some people in trials reported tiredness, headache, dizziness, digestive upset (nausea, bloating, diarrhea), dry throat, and cold-like symptoms at doses up to 560 mg daily. It's unclear whether mangosteen caused these, and it's not known how common they are.
Does mangosteen actually work for gum disease?
The evidence rates it as possibly effective for periodontitis (gum infection), which is a reasonable starting point — but talk with your dentist about whether it fits into your treatment plan.
Will it help with hair loss or eczema?
The data we have rates the evidence as insufficient for both androgenic alopecia and eczema — we don't know yet whether it works for those uses.
Is this product safe long-term?
Mangosteen is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term safety of concentrated supplements like this one hasn't been well studied. Check with your doctor about how long you plan to use it.
