HelloPharmacist Scorecard of PP 40 240 mg by SuperSmart

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.
  • “Alkaloids” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (240 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has one active ingredient: pao pereira extract at 240 mg per capsule. The capsule itself contains microcrystalline cellulose, an inactive ingredient used as a filler.

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 Pao Pereira product and its label doesn't state a use — see Pao Pereira'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 we hold doesn't establish that pao pereira works for cancer, constipation, or sexual arousal — each of those ratings is insufficient reliable evidence to rate. In other words, we don't have solid data showing whether it's effective for these uses.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Human safety data for pao pereira are limited, so the facts advise using it with care and under professional guidance. The safety data advise against it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.

No adverse effects are documented in our data, though again, limited human testing means we can't be certain what might occur.

Meds to double-check

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Still, run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page before you start, and let your pharmacist know you're considering this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Pao pereira is a botanical with limited safety and effectiveness evidence. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting — they can help you weigh what we do and don't know about this ingredient in your own situation.
