HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Original Graviola Leaf (Soursop) Extract 700 mg by Herbal Goodness

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: graviola (soursop) leaf extract at 700 mg per capsule. Graviola is a tropical plant traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The capsule itself is made with hypromellose and rice hull concentrate 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 Graviola's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: cell regeneration and stress relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Inflammation, Immune function, General wellness.
  • The closest evidence on file: Graviola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that graviola leaf extract works reliably for any condition. The data rates its use for HPV infection, headache, male infertility, and insect repellent as having insufficient reliable evidence — meaning the studies aren't there yet or aren't conclusive enough to say whether it actually helps.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Graviola

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.

Regular use of graviola raises safety concerns. The most common side effects reported are stomach pain and nausea.

Rarely, people have experienced movement disorders and nerve damage (myeloneuropathy) resembling Parkinson disease symptoms. One clinical study of 300 mg daily noted nausea and burning stomach pain in some participants.

Lab studies also raise concerns about possible nerve toxicity with long-term use. Graviola is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data, and traditional use has avoided it in these situations.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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 — Graviola.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 1 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.

If you take carbamazepine (Tegretol), a seizure medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — graviola may lower your carbamazepine level and reduce seizure control.

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 take carbamazepine (Tegretol) for seizures, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product, since graviola may reduce how well the medication works. Because we don't have strong evidence that graviola is effective for any condition, and because regular use carries real safety concerns including possible nerve damage, this is worth discussing with your healthcare provider before starting.

They can help you weigh whether it makes sense for you.

Original Graviola Leaf (Soursop) Extract 700 mg by Herbal Goodness: Common Questions

Does Original Graviola Leaf (Soursop) Extract 700 mg by Herbal Goodness interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Original Graviola Leaf (Soursop) Extract 700 mg has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Original Graviola Leaf (Soursop) Extract 700 mg 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — graviola is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy, and there isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding. Traditional use has avoided it in both situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
What are the side effects?
The most common ones are stomach pain and nausea. Rarely, people have reported movement disorders or nerve damage that can look like Parkinson disease. Lab studies also raise concerns about possible nerve toxicity with long-term use.
Does this actually work for anything?
The evidence we have doesn't show it works reliably for any condition — we rate HPV, headache, male infertility, and insect repellent all as having insufficient reliable evidence. More research is needed.
Is it safe to take regularly?
Regular consumption of graviola may be unsafe, which is why we flag the nerve toxicity concerns and rare serious side effects. This isn't a casual daily supplement — it's worth talking through with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering ongoing use.
What is graviola, and why would someone take it?
Graviola (soursop) is a tropical fruit, and people have traditionally used the leaves and fruit in herbal medicine. This product is the leaf extract. But we don't have solid evidence it works for the conditions people typically try it for.
