HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Bhumyamalaki by Herbadiet

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: Bhumyamalaki, also known as chanca piedra. Chanca piedra is a plant traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable cellulose, an inactive ingredient.

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 Chanca Piedra's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports liver function and gallbladder health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gallbladder disease, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Hepatitis B, Liver detoxification, Biliary function.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chanca Piedra is rated "Likely Ineffective" for Hepatitis B (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chanca Piedra is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Gallbladder disease.

The evidence we have rates chanca piedra as possibly effective for kidney stones. For other uses — anemia of chronic disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia — the evidence is insufficient to say whether it works.

Chanca piedra is rated likely ineffective for hepatitis B.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chanca Piedra

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.

Chanca piedra is generally well tolerated in the short term, though comprehensive safety studies are limited. The most commonly reported side effects are abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Fatigue has also been noted in one trial. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chanca Piedra

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 — Chanca Piedra.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,021 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 take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin), diuretics (water pills), lithium, norepinephrine (Levophed), blood pressure medications, or diabetes medications. The product also affects how your liver breaks down certain drugs — CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 substrates — so if you're unsure whether your medications fall into these categories, bring your prescription list to your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking at chanca piedra for kidney stones, there's some evidence it might help. But this product interacts with a wide range of medications — especially blood thinners, diuretics, lithium, and several drugs your liver metabolizes — so it's essential to check your exact prescriptions before you start.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first, and avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding unless you've discussed it with your healthcare provider.

Bhumyamalaki8 drug types · 1,020 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research suggests that methyl brevifolincarboxylate, a constituent isolated from chanca piedra, can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, chanca piedra might reduce the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that chanca piedra extract increases CYP1A2 activity. Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates and lower serum concentrations. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, use of chanca piedra might increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that chanca piedra extract inhibits CYP3A4. Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chanca piedra with diuretics might increase diuresis.
Some preliminary clinical research in adults with hypertension shows that chanca piedra has diuretic properties. However, higher quality research in adults with kidney stones shows taking chanca piedra does not increase urine volume when compared with placebo. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking diuretic drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, chanca piedra might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Some preliminary clinical research in adults with hypertension shows that chanca piedra has diuretic properties. However, higher quality research in adults with kidney stones shows that taking chanca piedra does not increase urine volume when compared with placebo. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Norepinephrine (Levophed)

Theoretically, chanca piedra may reduce the effects of norepinephrine.
Animal research suggests that methyl brevifolincarboxylate, a constituent isolated from chanca piedra, can reverse blood vessel contraction caused by norepinephrine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might affect glucose control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that chanca piedra can have hypoglycemic effects. However, a small clinical study in adults with diabetes shows that chanca piedra extract 25 grams orally daily for 1 week does not lower fasting or postprandial blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of chanca piedra with antihypertensive drugs might have additive blood pressure lowering effects.
Animal research suggests that chanca piedra can decrease blood pressure. However, this effect was not observed in most hypertensive patients treated with chanca piedra for 10 days.
