HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Meratrim 1234 by Creative Bioscience

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 20, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Meratrim(R) Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (400 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Meratrim 1234 contains 2 active ingredients: Sphaeranthus indicus flower extract and Garcinia mangostana (mangosteen) fruit rind extract, combined in a proprietary blend. The product also includes inactive ingredients (cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica) that serve as capsule filler and binder.

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 been studied for several conditions. It's rated possibly effective for periodontitis (gum disease), though the evidence is modest.

For androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss) and Alzheimer disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it helps. Data on its use for atopic dermatitis (eczema) is also insufficient.

We have no effectiveness information on file for Sphaeranthus indicus.

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 the long-term safety of concentrated supplement amounts hasn't been well studied. At doses up to 560 mg daily, some people reported mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, malaise, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry throat, cough, and flu-like symptoms — though it's unclear whether mangosteen actually caused these or they occurred by chance.

Safety data advises against using this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We don't have interaction or safety data on file for Sphaeranthus indicus.

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.

Blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs are the main concern — mangosteen may increase your bleeding risk. Also double-check if you take donepezil for Alzheimer disease, as mangosteen could raise its levels in your brain.

Since we couldn't verify Sphaeranthus indicus, mention all ingredients to your pharmacist when you pick up your other medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may appeal to people interested in weight management or skin health, but the evidence for most claims is limited or absent. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or donepezil, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — mangosteen can affect how these work.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or on any prescription medication, check with your own healthcare provider first.

Garcinia mangostana (fruit rind) extract2 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.

Meratrim 1234 by Creative Bioscience: Common Questions

Does Meratrim 1234 by Creative Bioscience interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Meratrim 1234 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?
Meratrim 1234 contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
What is Meratrim and what's it supposed to do?
Meratrim is a two-ingredient blend of extracts from Sphaeranthus indicus and mangosteen fruit rind. It's marketed for weight management and related goals, but the evidence showing it works is limited or not yet established in our data.
Does mangosteen really work for anything?
Mangosteen is rated possibly effective for periodontitis (gum disease) based on available research. For hair loss, Alzheimer disease, and eczema, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it helps.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — safety data advises against using this product during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options if you're expecting or nursing a baby.
What side effects might I get from mangosteen?
At typical supplement doses, people have reported tiredness, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, dry throat, and cough — though it's not certain mangosteen caused them. These aren't common, but they're worth knowing about.
Can I take this with blood thinners like warfarin?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Mangosteen in this product may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs. Your healthcare provider needs to weigh the benefits and risks for you personally.
I'm on donepezil for memory — is this product okay for me?
Check with your doctor before starting. Mangosteen can raise how much donepezil reaches your brain, which might make the drug stronger than usual. Your doctor can tell you whether that's safe for your situation.
