HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Meratrim Gold 400 mg by NutriGold

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

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 Gold contains two active ingredients: Sphaeranthus indicus flower extract and a proprietary blend called Meratrim that includes mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana). The product comes in a vegetarian capsule with microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable stearate as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Mangosteen's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: burn body fat and support weight loss.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, overweight, weight management, body composition.
  • The closest evidence on file: Mangosteen is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

Mangosteen has been studied for several health uses, with mixed results. For periodontitis (gum disease), the evidence suggests it may be helpful.

However, for androgenic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss), Alzheimer disease, and atopic dermatitis (eczema), we don't have enough reliable evidence to know whether it works. The data on file doesn't describe what Sphaeranthus indicus is used for or how well it works.

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 thoroughly studied. In clinical trials, mangosteen extract up to 560 mg daily was associated with mild tiredness, headache, dizziness, constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, and nasal congestion — though it's unclear whether mangosteen caused these or if they arose from something else.

The safety data advises against using supplement amounts of mangosteen during pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

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 Meratrim Gold, double-check if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, clopidogrel, aspirin, and others) — mangosteen may increase bleeding risk. Also flag it if you take donepezil for Alzheimer disease, as mangosteen might raise its levels in your brain.

For any other medications, check them against the search tool on this page or ask your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have gum disease and don't take blood thinners or donepezil, this might be worth discussing with your doctor. If you do take those medications, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the bleeding risk and potential boost to donepezil are real concerns.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk it over with your healthcare provider before starting, since safety data is limited.

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.
