Herbal supplement commonly used for appetite support

1 piece (small) of Caralluma supplement (1 g) has 2 calories. That works out to 300 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.3 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0.1 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Caralluma supplement is made from Caralluma, a succulent plant native to parts of India. It is sold in forms such as capsules, tablets or powder. Some Caralluma species have also been eaten as local foods, but a supplement is taken according to its label rather than served as a dish.
The plant has a distinctly herbal, sometimes bitter taste; capsules and tablets are usually swallowed with water, while powder can be mixed into a drink. It is commonly marketed for appetite support, though that does not guarantee an effect. A typical serving is about 0.5 g, so it contributes little to an everyday meal. Follow the directions on the package, and check with a health professional if you take regular medication.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A Caralluma supplement is marketed mainly for appetite control and weight management. It usually contains an extract of Caralluma fimbriata, a succulent plant, but the extract and other ingredients can vary between products.
A Caralluma supplement has not been shown to produce reliable, lasting weight loss. Research is limited and inconsistent, so it should not be treated as a proven weight-loss method or a substitute for established eating and activity habits.
It may reduce hunger for some people, but the evidence is not consistent enough to count on that effect. Small studies have explored appetite, yet they do not establish Caralluma as a reliable appetite suppressant.
Take a Caralluma supplement according to the directions on its own package. Extract strength and formulation differ across products, so do not transfer instructions from another brand or exceed the stated serving.
A Caralluma supplement can cause digestive complaints such as stomach discomfort, nausea, gas, or constipation. Other ingredients in a product may also contribute; stop taking it if symptoms are troublesome.
There is no well-established best time to take a Caralluma supplement. Research has not shown that morning, evening, or a particular meal improves its effects, so follow the product’s directions.
There is no reliable timeline for a Caralluma supplement to work. Studies have not established when appetite or weight effects should appear, and a quick result should not be expected.
The safety of Caralluma supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been adequately studied. Since safety is unestablished in these situations, avoiding the supplement is the cautious choice.
Potential interactions between Caralluma supplements and medicines have not been adequately studied. If you take regular medication or have a chronic condition, ask a doctor or pharmacist before using one.
No. Caralluma supplements can differ in plant preparation, extract strength, and added ingredients, and some products may not use identical formulations. Compare the ingredient list and stated extract details rather than assuming products are interchangeable.
