HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai Extract by The Vitamin Shoppe

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, a berry extract. Acai is included in this capsule alongside inactive ingredients like maltodextrin, cellulose, and silica, which are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Acai's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant support and cellular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging skin, Hypercholesterolemia, Metabolic syndrome, Obesity, General antioxidant protection, Cardiovascular health — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Acai is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Acai is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypercholesterolemia, Obesity, Metabolic syndrome.

The evidence for acai is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, or weight management.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means rigorous studies haven't been done yet or the results aren't conclusive enough for us to make a call.

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. As a concentrated supplement, though, high-dose effects haven't been well studied, so quality and safety at supplement strengths remain uncertain.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, safety data on acai supplements is too limited to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for 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.

If you take any antidiabetes drug (such as metformin, insulin, sulfonylureas, or GLP-1 agonists), check this product with your pharmacist before you start. Acai may raise or lower your blood glucose unpredictably, which could weaken your medication's effect.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Acai Extract may appeal to you if you're interested in antioxidant support, but evidence for specific health claims is lacking. If you take diabetes medication, check with us before starting — acai may affect blood sugar control.

For pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any health condition, run it by your pharmacist first.

Does Acai Extract by The Vitamin Shoppe 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.
Does acai work for weight loss or high cholesterol?
Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate acai for either weight loss or high cholesterol. That means rigorous studies haven't been done or the results aren't clear enough for us to say whether it works.
Is acai safe to take while pregnant?
Concentrated acai supplements haven't been studied in pregnancy. Because the safety data is limited, caution is advised — talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide what's right for you.
Can I take acai if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information on acai supplements during breastfeeding. Caution is advised, so check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What are the side effects of acai supplements?
Our data doesn't document side effects from acai supplements in trials. Acai as a food is generally well tolerated, but high-dose supplement effects aren't well studied yet.
I take diabetes medication — is acai safe for me?
Not without checking first. Acai may raise or lower your blood sugar, which could interfere with how well your diabetes drug works. Use the medication checker on this page or talk to your pharmacist before you start.
