Full

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Dragon Fruit product and its label doesn't state a use — see Dragon Fruit's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't hold reliable evidence that dragon fruit extract works for diabetes or prediabetes (impaired glucose tolerance). The effectiveness rating for both conditions is insufficient reliable evidence to rate, which means the data we have isn't solid enough to say whether it helps.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dragon Fruit

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.

Dragon fruit is widely eaten as a food and is generally well tolerated. However, when used as a concentrated supplement or extract, safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding haven't been established, so caution is warranted during those times.

Allergy to dragon fruit has been reported in rare cases, with symptoms including vomiting, swollen tongue, skin redness, and hives.

Pitahaya Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Pitahaya Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pitahaya Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pitahaya Alcohol Free 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?
The safety data isn't on file for concentrated dragon fruit supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding. While the fruit is fine in normal food amounts, the extract form hasn't been studied enough in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Could I be allergic to this product?
Allergy to dragon fruit has been reported in rare cases. Symptoms can include vomiting, swollen tongue, skin redness, and hives. If you've never eaten dragon fruit before, be aware of these signs when you start.
Does this actually work for blood sugar control?
We don't have reliable evidence that it works for diabetes or prediabetes. The evidence rating is insufficient, so we can't say whether the extract helps lower blood sugar or improve glucose tolerance.
What is dragon fruit?
Dragon fruit, also called pitahaya, is a tropical fruit widely eaten as food in many countries. This product is a concentrated extract of that fruit in liquid form.
