HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai Berry by BareOrganics
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
This product contains 3 active ingredients. Potassium is an electrolyte your body needs for heart rhythm, muscle, and nerve function.
Vitamin A supports vision, immune function, and skin health. Organic acai is a berry concentrate — the evidence for what it does is limited.
You'll also find citric acid as an inactive ingredient (a preservative and flavoring agent).
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Vitamin A in this product is effective for preventing and treating vitamin A deficiency and possibly helpful for oral leukoplakia, aging skin, measles, ulcerative colitis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia — though the evidence for those last conditions is preliminary. Potassium effectiveness isn't rated in our data for general wellness use.
For acai, the evidence is too thin to establish whether it works for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, or weight — we just don't have reliable data yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Potassium from food is fine, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels in some people, especially those with kidney problems. Vitamin A is generally well tolerated at normal doses, but high doses build up in your body and can become toxic — causing liver damage, headaches, and serious heart problems in rare cases.
The safety notes flag that high-dose vitamin A in pregnancy can cause birth defects, so avoid supplements at high doses during pregnancy. For potassium and acai in pregnancy or breastfeeding, the data advises using only dietary amounts or speaking with your doctor before taking supplements.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Check before starting if you take retinoid medications (acne treatments) — this is a Major interaction. Also double-check ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics, warfarin, tetracycline antibiotics, or diabetes medications — all Moderate severity.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take blood pressure meds, blood thinners, tetracycline antibiotics, diabetes drugs, or retinoid acne medications, check with your pharmacist first — this product may not be right for you. Potassium and vitamin A at high levels can cause serious harm.
It's a good idea to run your medications through the checker on this page before you start.

Acai Berry by BareOrganics Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
BareOrganics Acai Berry Liquid contains potassium and vitamin A, both of which interact with several medication types.
The most serious concern is vitamin A with retinoid medications (acne drugs like isotretinoin, tretinoin, or adapalene) — taking them together could push vitamin A to toxic levels. This is a Major severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Potassium poses Moderate risks with blood pressure medications. If you take ACE inhibitors (like lisinopril or enalapril), angiotensin receptor blockers or ARBs (like losartan or valsartan), or potassium-sparing diuretics (like spironolactone or amiloride), adding potassium from this product raises the risk of dangerously high blood potassium (hyperkalemia).
Vitamin A also interacts with warfarin (a blood thinner), tetracycline antibiotics, and hepatotoxic drugs — all Moderate severity. High-dose vitamin A can thin your blood further with warfarin, increase the risk of a rare brain swelling condition with tetracyclines, and stress the liver alongside other liver-damaging drugs.
The acai ingredient itself may theoretically interfere with blood sugar control if you take diabetes medications.
Organic acai has no known interactions documented in our data. Use the medication checker below to verify your exact prescriptions before starting this product.

For each ingredient in Acai Berry with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dietary Fiber
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.
Ethinyl Estradiol
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
Vitamin A
Retinoids
Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level of intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects. Doses of vitamin A above the UL can cause hepatotoxicity, ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure.
Tetracycline Antibiotics
Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition. Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.
organic Acai
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking acai with antidiabetes drugs might interfere with glycemic control.
Preliminary clinical research in healthy adults has shown that taking acai may increase or decrease levels of fasting blood glucose.
Potassium
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)
Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)
Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
