HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai Extract by Solgar

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 softgel contains a single active ingredient: acai extract, a concentrated form of the acai berry. The product also includes several inactive ingredients — soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, yellow beeswax, soy lecithin, caramel color, and silica — which serve as the capsule structure and to help deliver the extract.

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 (“health and vitality with antioxidant support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence on acai extract for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and high cholesterol is insufficient — we don't have reliable data to say whether it works for any of these uses. If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually supports.

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 food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly, and high doses aren't well characterized. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information on acai supplements to be certain — caution is advised in both situations.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

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 medications against this product if you take any antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar–lowering medications) — acai may interfere with how well they work. Use the medication checker on this page to verify your exact drugs.

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.

This is a single-ingredient acai extract product that may work best if you're looking for a straightforward supplement without multiple actives. If you take any blood sugar–lowering medication, check with us first — that's the main interaction to watch.

Otherwise, talk to your pharmacist about whether acai makes sense for your health goals.

Acai Extract by Solgar: Common Questions

Does Acai Extract by Solgar interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai 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 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.
Will acai extract help my high cholesterol?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. We have insufficient reliable data on acai for high cholesterol, so we can't recommend it for that purpose. Talk to your doctor about treatments with clearer evidence.
Is acai safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information on acai supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this — they can give you personalized advice.
What's in the softgel besides acai?
The capsule itself is gelatin, and it also contains soybean oil, vegetable glycerin, yellow beeswax, soy lecithin, caramel color, and silica. These are inactive ingredients that help form and deliver the supplement.
Are there any side effects listed for acai?
No adverse effects are documented in our data. That said, acai as a concentrated supplement hasn't been studied as thoroughly as the fruit itself, so effects from high doses aren't well known.
Can I take this if I have diabetes?
Not without checking first. Acai may raise or lower your blood sugar levels, which could interfere with your diabetes medication. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting, and use the medication checker on this page for your specific drugs.
