HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mangosteen Fruit 2% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

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 is a single-ingredient supplement: mangosteen fruit extract powder, concentrated to 2% potency. There are no added inactive ingredients listed.

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit whose extract contains compounds called xanthones, which are believed to be the active components that give the supplement its effects.

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).

The evidence for mangosteen is mixed. For periodontitis (gum disease), the data rates it as possibly effective — meaning there's some evidence, but it's not conclusive.

For androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss), Alzheimer's disease, and atopic dermatitis (eczema), there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to make a rating. If you're considering this for one of those conditions, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see what the current research suggests.

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 extract is generally considered safe as a food, but long-term safety when taken as a concentrated supplement hasn't been well studied. Some people using mangosteen extract up to 560 mg daily have reported mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, malaise, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry throat, cough, and flu-like symptoms — though it's unclear whether these were caused by mangosteen itself.

There isn't enough safety data on mangosteen during pregnancy or breastfeeding; the data advises against taking supplement amounts if you're pregnant or nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your situation.

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 start, double-check if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet medications (like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — mangosteen may increase bleeding risk. You should also verify whether you're on donepezil (Aricept) for Alzheimer's disease, since mangosteen might raise its brain levels.

If you're on any of these, clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first.

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 extract may help with gum disease, but the evidence is limited for other uses. If you take a blood thinner, antiplatelet drug, or donepezil, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement — the interaction risk is real.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it until you've talked it over.

For anyone else, mild digestive or head-related effects are possible but not certain.

Mangosteen Fruit Extract, Powder2 drug types · 125 drugs

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.

People taking mangosteen extract up to 560 mg daily have reported mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cough. It's not clear whether mangosteen actually caused these or if they were coincidental, so they may not happen to you.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Mangosteen is generally considered safe as a food, but long-term safety of the concentrated supplement form hasn't been well studied. If you're planning to use it regularly, it's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your health picture.
