HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai 550 mg by Nutricost

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 550 mg per capsule. Acai is a berry from South America that's been used as a food and supplement.

The capsule itself is made from hypromellose (a plant-based material) and vegetable magnesium stearate (a common binder).

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Acai product and its label doesn't state a use — see Acai's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for acai's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. The claims it's tested for — aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and cholesterol — all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research backing those uses isn't solid enough yet for us to draw a conclusion.

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 is generally well tolerated when you eat it as a food, but supplement quality and high-dose effects haven't been well studied. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety information on concentrated acai supplements is limited, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — we don't have enough data to know either way.

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 blood sugar medications (antidiabetes drugs) with the tool below before taking this product. Acai may theoretically interfere with how well they work and could shift your blood glucose levels.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Acai may appeal to you if you're looking for a berry antioxidant supplement, but the evidence for most health claims is thin. If you take diabetes medication, check your exact drugs with the tool on this page first.

Talk to your pharmacist if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any prescription medication.

Acai 550 mg by Nutricost: Common Questions

Does Acai 550 mg by Nutricost interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai 550 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 550 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 actually work for weight loss or cholesterol?
The evidence isn't there yet. Acai is tested for both obesity and high cholesterol, but we don't have reliable evidence to say it works for either one. Don't rely on it as a treatment for those conditions without talking to your doctor.
Is acai safe if I'm pregnant or nursing?
Concentrated acai supplements haven't been studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so there isn't enough safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it — they can help you decide what's right for your situation.
What are the side effects?
We don't have adverse effects listed in our data for acai. As a food, acai is generally well tolerated, but supplement quality and high-dose effects are understudied.
Why does this product interact with so many diabetes drugs?
Acai can theoretically shift your blood sugar up or down, so any medication that controls blood glucose could be affected. The 85 count includes all the different diabetes medications on the market — your own drug list will likely be much shorter.
What is acai extract?
It's a concentrated form of the acai berry, a small purple fruit from South America. This product gives you 550 mg of that extract in each capsule.
