HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai Berry 1,000 mg by Natrol

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 berry extract at 1,000 mg per capsule. Acai is a South American palm berry that's marketed for a range of uses — from skin aging and athletic performance to cholesterol and weight — though the evidence for most of those claims is still thin.

The capsule itself also contains inactive ingredients (maltodextrin, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide) that help hold and deliver the extract.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant defense against oxidative stress.
  • We looked for evidence on: oxidative stress, cellular protection, free radical scavenging.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for acai berry extract is limited across the board. For aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and cholesterol or weight management, we don't yet have reliable data to say whether it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't — it means the research either isn't there yet or isn't solid enough to rate it. If you're thinking about this for one of those reasons, talk it over with us.

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 we don't have much data on high-dose concentrated supplements or their long-term effects. When it comes to pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information on acai supplements to say it's okay — the caution is to avoid it or at least talk with your doctor or pharmacist first, since the research just isn't there to know either way.

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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (medications that lower blood sugar), check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this product. Acai may interfere with your blood sugar control.

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.

This is a single-ingredient supplement that people often try for skin, weight, or cholesterol — but evidence for those uses isn't established. The main thing to watch for is if you take diabetes medication; acai may affect blood sugar control.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any prescription drugs.

Acai Berry 1,000 mg by Natrol: Common Questions

Does Acai Berry 1,000 mg by Natrol interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai Berry 1,000 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 Berry 1,000 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 berry actually help with weight loss or cholesterol?
The evidence isn't there yet to say it does. For both weight and cholesterol, acai is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence — meaning we don't have strong studies backing up those claims, even though people use it for those reasons.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on acai supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding to know either way. It's best to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing.
What are the side effects?
Acai as a food is generally well tolerated, but we don't have good data on side effects from high-dose concentrated supplements like this one. Because the research is limited, it's hard to say what to expect.
Can I take this with my blood pressure or cholesterol medication?
The only medication type we have documented interaction data for is diabetes drugs. For your specific medications, use the search tool on this page — or ask your pharmacist to check before you start.
Is there anything else in this besides the acai?
The capsule contains inactive ingredients — maltodextrin, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — that are fillers and binders to make the capsule work. The acai berry extract is the only active ingredient.
