HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai Berry 500 mg by Swanson

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.

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 concentrate at 500 mg per capsule. Acai is a South American palm fruit that's been studied for a range of uses, though solid evidence is still limited for most of them.

The inactive ingredients are maltodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, and magnesium stearate — common capsule fillers and binders.

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 doesn't yet support its use for the conditions typically claimed on supplement labels. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, and weight loss.

That doesn't mean acai won't help with any of these — it means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say either way.

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 eaten as a food, but concentrated supplements at high doses haven't been studied carefully. Because supplement quality varies and long-term effects are unclear, caution is warranted.

We don't have enough safety data on acai supplements in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if either applies to 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 blood sugar medication (antidiabetes drugs) with your pharmacist before taking this product — acai may raise or lower your fasting glucose levels and potentially interfere with your diabetes control.

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.

If you're curious about acai for general wellness, this single-ingredient supplement is straightforward — no hidden actives to worry about. But if you take diabetes medication, you'll need to check with your pharmacist first.

And if you're pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition, that's a conversation to have before you start.

Acai Berry 500 mg by Swanson: Common Questions

Does Acai Berry 500 mg by Swanson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai Berry 500 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 500 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 weight loss?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say yes. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate acai for weight loss, so if that's your goal, we'd need better research before recommending it.
Is it safe to take acai while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data on concentrated acai supplements during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you decide whether this is right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There's not enough safety information on acai supplements while breastfeeding, so caution is advised. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
Why does the label mention so many health claims if the evidence is weak?
Supplement makers can list potential uses, but that's different from proven benefits. Our data shows the research on acai for aging skin, cholesterol, athletic performance, and other claims is still too preliminary to be confident.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Acai is generally well tolerated as a food, but we don't have detailed safety data on concentrated supplements or their long-term effects at high doses. Most people who try it don't report major problems, but quality and safety testing vary between brands.
