Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check

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.

Herbal Terra's Pitahaya is a liquid extract made from dragon fruit leaf. That's the only active ingredient in this product.

The liquid also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.

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.

The evidence for pitahaya (dragon fruit) in managing blood sugar or prediabetes is insufficient — we don't have reliable data showing whether it works for these purposes. If you're thinking about it for blood sugar support, that's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist.

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 as a food is generally well tolerated and widely eaten around the world. However, concentrated supplements and extracts like this one haven't been studied much in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so caution is advised if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing — talk with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Allergy to dragon fruit has been reported in rare case reports, with symptoms including vomiting, a swollen tongue, skin redness, and hives. There's limited information on other side effects when used as a medicine.

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

Check all antidiabetes drugs before taking this product — pitahaya may lower blood sugar on its own and could combine with your medication to cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This is a Moderate-severity interaction, and your diabetes medication dose might need adjusting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Pitahaya may be worth considering if you're interested in dragon fruit's traditional uses, but the evidence that it actually works for blood sugar is not established yet. If you take diabetes medication, you must check your specific drugs with us before starting — the risk of low blood sugar is real.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether this is right for you.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Dragon fruit might lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, it might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Pitahaya by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Pitahaya by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pitahaya 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 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 Pitahaya if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data for concentrated dragon fruit extracts in pregnancy and breastfeeding isn't available. While the fruit itself as food is fine, supplement forms haven't been studied enough. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
What does Pitahaya actually do?
The evidence that it works for blood sugar control or prediabetes is insufficient — we don't have reliable data to say either way. Dragon fruit is commonly eaten as food and is generally well tolerated, but as a supplement for medical purposes, that's less clear.
Could I have an allergic reaction?
Allergy to dragon fruit is rare but has been reported. Symptoms include vomiting, a swollen tongue, skin redness, and hives. If you've never had dragon fruit before, you should be aware of that risk.
Why does this product interact with diabetes drugs?
Pitahaya leaf extract may lower your blood glucose on its own. When you combine it with a diabetes medication that already lowers blood sugar, the two effects can add up and raise the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low.
Is this product safe to use with my medications?
We can only tell you about the interactions we have data for. The biggest concern is antidiabetes drugs — if you take any, check them with our tool first. For other medications, we have no documented interactions, but that's not a guarantee none exist. Your pharmacist can help you review your full list.
