HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai Liquid Concentrate by NOW

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 liquid concentrate is made from one active ingredient: organic acai palmberry. The product also contains inactive ingredients — de-ionized water, vegetable glycerin, citric acid, natural acai flavor, and potassium sorbate — which serve as the liquid base and to preserve freshness.

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

This is a single-ingredient Acai product and its label doesn't state a use — see Acai's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for acai isn't established yet in the data we hold. Effectiveness ratings for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, and high cholesterol all show insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works for those purposes.

If you're considering acai for one of those reasons, talk with us about what the current science actually shows.

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 as a whole food, but the supplement form — especially at higher doses — hasn't been well studied for safety. Concentrated acai supplements haven't been tested in pregnancy, so caution is advised if you're pregnant.

There's not enough safety information on acai supplements during breastfeeding either, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you if you're nursing.

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 medication — insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others — double-check with your pharmacist before adding this product. Acai may interfere with blood sugar control (Moderate severity).

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.

Acai concentrate might interest you if you're looking for a supplement from this berry, but the evidence for most health claims isn't yet established. If you take blood sugar medication, check with your pharmacist first — acai may affect how those drugs work.

Pregnant and breastfeeding people should talk with their doctor before starting.

Acai Liquid Concentrate by NOW: Common Questions

Does Acai Liquid Concentrate by NOW interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai Liquid Concentrate 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 Liquid Concentrate 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 for acai and weight loss shows insufficient reliable evidence in the data we hold, so we can't say whether it works for that. If that's why you're interested, it's worth talking with your pharmacist about what the current science actually supports.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant?
Concentrated acai supplements haven't been tested in pregnancy, so the safety data advises caution. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice — they can help you weigh whether this product is right for you.
What's in this liquid besides acai?
The concentrate is mostly water and vegetable glycerin (which keeps it liquid), plus citric acid for preservation, natural acai flavor, and potassium sorbate to prevent spoilage. Those are all inactive ingredients.
Can I take this with my blood sugar medication?
Early research shows acai may raise or lower fasting blood glucose, which could theoretically interfere with how well your medication controls your blood sugar. Check with your pharmacist about your specific drug before starting — they can help you monitor your levels if you decide to use it.
Is acai safe to take while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information on concentrated acai supplements during breastfeeding, so caution is advised. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide if it's right for you while nursing.
