HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shigru Powder by Herbal Hills

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

Shigru Powder is a single-ingredient product containing moringa leaf powder. Moringa is a plant whose leaves have been used traditionally in Ayurvedic and other practices.

This product has no other active ingredients and no inactive fillers listed.

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 Moringa's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Moringa nutritional support for bodily functions.
  • We looked for evidence on: Malnutrition, Iron deficiency anemia, Hyperlipidemia, Diabetes, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Child growth — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Moringa is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Iron deficiency anemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Moringa is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Vitamin A deficiency, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), and more.

The evidence we hold for moringa leaf doesn't establish effectiveness for any condition — iron deficiency anemia, asthma, athletic performance, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and high cholesterol all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean moringa doesn't work for these; it means rigorous human studies backing its use aren't yet in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Moringa

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.

Moringa leaf powder is generally well tolerated when used as food, though high-quality safety studies are limited. The most common side effect is transient diarrhea — in one trial, about a quarter of participants taking 8 grams daily experienced it.

Rare allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and a very rare case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a serious skin reaction) have been reported. Root and root bark may stimulate the uterus, so avoid medicinal amounts of those parts during pregnancy.

Moringa leaf is rated possibly safe and possibly unsafe in pregnancy — the evidence is mixed, and safety hasn't been well studied. For breastfeeding, it's rated possibly safe but traditionally used to boost milk supply without strong safety data, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Moringa

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 — Moringa.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 870 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 Shigru Powder, double-check these medication types with your doctor or pharmacist: drugs processed by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 (moderate risk of changed levels), levothyroxine for thyroid (moderate risk of reduced effect), P-glycoprotein substrates like some heart and cancer drugs (moderate risk of increased levels), antidiabetes medications (minor risk of added blood sugar lowering), and drugs dependent on the CYP1A2 liver enzyme (minor risk of decreased levels).

Shigru powder6 drug types · 869 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, moringa might increase or decrease levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Some in vitro research suggests that moringa inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). However, other in vitro research suggests that moringa extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes. A pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine, which is partially metabolized by CYP3A4, when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Theoretically, moringa leaf can antagonize the effects of levothyroxine.
Animal research suggests that moringa aqueous leaf extract might reduce serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations by inhibiting the peripheral conversion of thyroxine (T4) to T3.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, moringa leaf extract might increase the levels and clinical effects of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa leaf extract inhibits renal P-glycoprotein transport activity. So far, this reaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, moringa might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal research shows that moringa can lower blood glucose levels. However, research in humans has not shown consistent blood glucose lowering effects.

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

Theoretically, moringa might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that moringa extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nevirapine (Viramune)

Moringa leaf is unlikely to have a clinically significant interaction with nevirapine.
Nevirapine is partially metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). In vitro evidence suggests that moringa inhibits CYP3A4. However, a pharmacokinetic study in patients with HIV shows no change in nevirapine pharmacokinetics when administered concomitantly with moringa leaf powder 1.85 grams daily for 14 days.

Shigru Powder by Herbal Hills: Common Questions

Does Shigru Powder by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shigru Powder has a known interaction with 869 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Shigru Powder 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.
What exactly is shigru powder?
Shigru powder is dried moringa leaf, a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. This product contains only that single ingredient with no fillers.
Does it help lower blood sugar?
Animal research suggests moringa can lower blood glucose, but human studies haven't shown consistent results. The evidence isn't established, so we can't say whether it works for diabetes in people.
Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The evidence is mixed — moringa leaf is rated both possibly safe and possibly unsafe in pregnancy, so the data doesn't clearly point one way. If you're breastfeeding, it's rated possibly safe but traditionally used to boost milk without strong safety studies. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice on your situation.
What side effects might I get?
Diarrhea is the most common — about a quarter of people in one trial taking 8 grams daily experienced it, though it was temporary. Allergic reactions, including severe ones, and a very rare serious skin reaction have been reported.
Is it safe to take long-term?
Moringa leaf appears generally well tolerated as food, but high-quality long-term safety studies are limited. Root and root bark may stimulate the uterus, so avoid medicinal amounts of those parts.
