HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai Berry Extract by Indiana Botanic Gardens

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 in a 5:1 concentration, which means the extract is five times more potent than the raw berry. The capsule also holds several inactive ingredients — rice flour, gelatin, corn starch, vegetable magnesium stearate, beet juice powder, and silicon dioxide — that serve as fillers and binders.

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: Powerful antioxidant.
  • We looked for evidence on: antioxidant support, general wellness, oxidative stress.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold does not establish that acai berry extract works for the conditions listed on supplement labels. These include aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and high cholesterol — all rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research isn't solid enough yet for us 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 as a whole food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly, especially at high doses. For pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data on concentrated acai supplements, so caution is advised — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

The same goes for breastfeeding: safety information is lacking, so it's best to get personalized advice before using it.

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 any antidiabetes drugs — insulin, metformin, and similar medications — before you start. Acai may raise or lower your blood sugar and interfere with how well your diabetes medication works.

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.

If you eat acai berries as a food, you're fine. If you take antidiabetes drugs, check your medications with our tool before starting this supplement — it may affect your blood sugar control.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, ask your pharmacist or doctor whether it's safe for your situation.

Acai Berry Extract by Indiana Botanic Gardens: Common Questions

Does Acai Berry Extract by Indiana Botanic Gardens interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai Berry Extract 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 Extract 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 extract really work for weight loss or high cholesterol?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say. Both obesity and high cholesterol are rated as insufficient evidence — meaning the research so far doesn't give us a clear answer on whether acai actually helps with either one.
Is acai safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data on concentrated acai supplements in pregnancy and breastfeeding is thin. Because we don't have enough safety information, caution is advised in both cases. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's best for you.
Can I take this if I have diabetes?
Not without checking first. Preliminary research shows acai may raise or lower fasting blood sugar, which could throw off your glucose control. Before you start, use the medication checker below to see if your diabetes drugs are affected, then talk with your pharmacist.
What exactly is the '5:1' on the label?
That means the extract is concentrated — five times more potent than the raw acai berry. It's a way to pack more of the berry's compounds into each capsule.
Are there any fillers or other ingredients I should know about?
Yes — the capsule contains rice flour, gelatin, corn starch, vegetable magnesium stearate, beet juice powder, and silicon dioxide. These are inactive ingredients used as binders and fillers. If you're allergic to any of them, check the label.
