HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai SuperFruit 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.
What’s inside
Partial disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: organic acai juice. Acai is a fruit juice that's been studied for several health claims, though the evidence we hold doesn't yet support its use for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, or weight management.
The other ingredients are inactive — they're mostly juices from other fruits (apple, pomegranate, raspberry, blueberry), plus citric acid, pectin, guar gum, natural flavoring, and potassium sorbate as a preservative. These serve to carry the acai juice, add flavor, and preserve the product.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that acai juice is effective for the claims often made about it. For aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, and obesity, the rating is insufficient reliable evidence to rate — meaning the data we have isn't robust enough to say whether it works or doesn't.
If you're considering acai for one of these reasons, talk to your pharmacist about what the current research actually shows and what your other options might be.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Acai is generally well tolerated when taken as a food or supplement. However, concentrated acai supplements — like this liquid — haven't been studied extensively at high doses, so there's a gap in what we know about long-term safety at supplement levels.
For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data is limited. Acai as a food is likely fine, but concentrated supplements haven't been studied in pregnancy, so caution is advised.
Similarly, there isn't enough safety information on acai supplements during breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take any antidiabetes drug (medication to lower your blood sugar), check your exact medication with the search tool on this page before adding acai juice. Acai may raise, lower, or have no effect on your blood sugar, so your prescriber needs to know you're taking it.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Acai SuperFruit may appeal to you if you're looking for an antioxidant-rich juice supplement, but the evidence for its marketed health claims is thin. The main caution is if you take antidiabetes medication — acai's unpredictable effect on blood sugar means you should check with your pharmacist first.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, play it safe and ask your healthcare provider before starting.

Formula
NOW Acai delivers the natural nutrient profile in genuine whole foods.
Deep within the lush Brazilian rainforests of the Amazon grows one of our planet's most remarkable and nutritious fruits. Acai berries ( Euterpe oleracea) have remained highly esteemed throughout history by Brazilian natives because of their pleasant taste and their ability to promote optimal health and vitality. This product has 6,500 mg of acai concentrate per 1 oz. serving. Powerful free radical scavenger Acai berries abound in phytonutrients including polyphenols such as rutin, anthocyanins, and catechins. Acai also has ellagic acid. These and other compounds protect bodily tissues from free radical attack, a key factor of healthy aging. Healthy Immune System Support The nutrients and free radical quenchers present in acai help support healthy immune system function and its healthy response to transient, but normal metabolic stress by promoting proper nitric oxide (NO) production. Cardiovascular Support In addition to its powerful free radical quenching properties, acai supports proper NO production and healthy vascular response to biological signals. Each of these properties is important for the support of healthy heart and blood vessel function. Powerful Free Radical Scavenger Cardiovascular Support Natural phytonutrients, Ellagic acid, and fiber Supports healthy immune system function

Acai SuperFruit by NOW Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Acai SuperFruit by NOW contains one active ingredient — organic acai juice — which has documented interactions we need to flag.
The main concern is with antidiabetes drugs (medications that lower blood sugar). Preliminary research shows acai may increase or decrease fasting blood sugar levels, which could theoretically interfere with your glycemic control if you're on diabetes medication.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Although we've only identified one drug type with documented interactions, acai's effect on blood sugar is unpredictable — it may raise it, lower it, or have no effect — so the outcome depends on your individual response and your specific medication. Altogether, these interactions span 85 individual medications.
Before you start this product, check your exact diabetes medications using the search tool below. If you take any antidiabetes drug, your pharmacist or doctor should review whether acai juice is right for you.

For each ingredient in Acai SuperFruit 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.
organic Acai juice
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.
