HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai 500 mg by Herbal Secrets

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.

Acai 500 mg contains one active ingredient: acai extract, a concentrated form of the acai berry. It's also made with soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, beeswax, and soy lecithin as inactive ingredients to form the softgel capsule.

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 (“antioxidant support and general wellness”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence for acai isn't established yet. Our data rates it insufficient evidence for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and high cholesterol.

That means the research so far hasn't been strong or complete enough to say whether it works for these uses.

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 supplement quality and the effects of high doses haven't been well studied. There isn't enough safety data for acai supplements in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so caution is advised — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Acai

Meds to double-check

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.

  • 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.

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.

This is a single-ingredient product that may appeal to anyone looking to try acai in concentrated form. If you take any diabetes medications, check with us first — that's the main thing to watch.

Formulation

Acai berry is a reddish-purple fruit indigenous to the Amazon region of Central and South America. Acai berries are known as super foods as they are packed full of anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids, resveratrol, flavonoids etc. Acai berries are rich in anthocyanins (plant antioxidant) that support existing healthy cholesterol level, blood sugar metabolism, and fight oxidative stress to support heart health, cell health, and healthy ageing. Acai may also support healthy weight management. Acai is a well-known traditional source of dietary fiber that supports the digestive system by helping to keep it clean and in optimal function. The berries have powerful detoxification capacities supporting overall health and well-being
