HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai 1000 mg by Vitamin World

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 product contains one active ingredient: acai extract at 1000 mg per softgel. Acai is a berry from South America that's been studied for potential effects on aging skin, athletic performance, cholesterol, weight, and erectile function.

The softgel itself is made from gelatin, soybean oil, vegetable glycerin, and beeswax — these are inactive ingredients that help deliver the acai.

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 we hold doesn't establish that acai is effective for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, cholesterol, or weight management — all of these are rated as insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical data available to us isn't strong enough to say either way.

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 supplement quality and effects at high doses haven't been well studied. There isn't enough safety information on concentrated acai supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so caution is advised if you're pregnant or nursing — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

No adverse effects are documented in our data, but the overall safety profile of high-dose supplements remains unclear.

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 medications before taking this supplement. Acai may raise or lower your fasting blood glucose, which could interfere with how well your diabetes drug works.

If you're on insulin, metformin, or any other blood sugar medication, use the interaction checker below for your exact drug.

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 may appeal to you if you're interested in its potential health effects, but the evidence for those effects isn't established yet. If you take antidiabetes medication, you'll need to check with your pharmacist before starting, since acai may affect your blood sugar control.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk with your doctor first — the safety data isn't there yet.

Acai 1000 mg by Vitamin World: Common Questions

Does Acai 1000 mg by Vitamin World 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.
What exactly is acai extract?
Acai is a berry from South America that's sold as a concentrated supplement in this product. It's eaten as a food in many parts of the world, and supplement makers extract it for use in capsules and powders.
Is acai good for weight loss?
The evidence we have doesn't establish that acai works for weight loss — it's rated as insufficient reliable evidence. You might see acai marketed for this purpose, but the clinical data to back that claim isn't strong enough in our data.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough safety information on concentrated acai supplements during pregnancy. It's best to talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking it.
Are there any known side effects?
No adverse effects are documented in our data. That said, supplement quality and high-dose effects of acai haven't been well studied, so some caution is warranted.
Does acai really help with cholesterol?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it does — cholesterol is rated as insufficient reliable evidence. More clinical research would be needed to know whether acai actually affects cholesterol levels.
