HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai 1000 mg by Puritan's Pride

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.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This supplement contains one active ingredient: acai fruit extract, a concentrated form of the acai berry. The product also includes several inactive ingredients (the capsule and fillers): soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, yellow beeswax, natural caramel color, silica, and soy lecithin.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Acai product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Acai's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“health and vitality antioxidant support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence for acai in the conditions it's marketed for — aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and high cholesterol — hasn't been established well enough for us to rate it. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence for each of these uses, which means more rigorous research is needed before we can say whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Acai

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.

Acai as a food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplement forms and their long-term effects haven't been well studied. Because safety data for high-dose acai supplements in pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited, the caution is to use it only if your doctor or pharmacist advises it.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning either, talk with your healthcare provider about whether this supplement is right for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Acai

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 — Acai.
  • 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 your antidiabetes drugs before taking this product — acai can shift blood sugar levels, making control less predictable. If your diabetes medications are on that list, your doctor should monitor your blood glucose more closely once you add acai.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Acai 1000 mg is a single-ingredient extract that's generally well tolerated as a food form, but evidence for its marketed uses is lacking and supplement-specific safety data is thin. If you take antidiabetes medication, this product deserves a close check before you start.

Talk to your pharmacist before adding it, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing blood sugar.

Acai 1000 mg by Puritan's Pride: Common Questions

Does Acai 1000 mg by Puritan's Pride interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai 1000 mg 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?
Acai 1000 mg 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.
Does acai really help with cholesterol or weight?
The evidence isn't there yet. We have insufficient reliable data to say whether acai works for high cholesterol or obesity. More research is needed before we can make that call.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information for either pregnancy or breastfeeding with concentrated acai supplements. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning either.
What are the side effects?
Acai as a food is generally well tolerated, but we don't have safety data on high-dose supplements yet, so side effects aren't well documented. If you notice anything unusual after starting it, let your pharmacist know.
Can I take this with my blood sugar medication?
You need to check first. Acai can raise or lower blood glucose levels, which might interfere with how well your diabetes drug works. Run your specific medications through the checker on this page, then talk to your pharmacist.
What's the difference between acai as a food and this supplement?
This is a concentrated extract at 1,000 mg per dose — much higher than you'd get eating fresh acai berries. Concentrated supplements haven't been studied the same way food has, so we know less about their safety at these doses.
