HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Active Acai by DR. Mercola Premium Supplements

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 product has one active ingredient: organic acai powder. Acai is a berry native to South America, often used in supplements for its antioxidant content.

The capsule itself is an inactive ingredient (the outer shell that holds the powder).

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 data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate acai for aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, or high cholesterol. In other words, we don't have solid research backing its use for any of these.

If you're considering this for one of those reasons, you'll want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current science really 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 is generally well tolerated when eaten as a food, but supplement quality and the effects of high doses haven't been studied much. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on concentrated acai supplements — the research we have is on acai as a food, not as a concentrated pill.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this one. No adverse effects have been documented in the data we hold.

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.

Before you start Active Acai, double-check any antidiabetes drugs you take — acai may interfere with blood sugar control. Use the medication checker on this page to verify your exact prescriptions.

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're looking to add acai to your routine, this product may be worth considering — it's generally well tolerated. If you take an antidiabetes drug, you'll need to check your specific medication before starting and watch your blood sugar.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Chat with your pharmacist first, since we don't have enough safety data.

Active Acai by DR. Mercola Premium Supplements: Common Questions

Does Active Acai by DR. Mercola Premium Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Active Acai 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?
Active Acai 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on concentrated acai supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding — the research we have is on acai as a food, not in supplement form. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you.
Will this help with high cholesterol or weight loss?
The evidence we hold is insufficient to rate acai for either of those uses. You'd want to discuss whether this is the right choice for your goals with your pharmacist or doctor.
What is acai?
Acai is a berry from South America, included in this supplement for its antioxidant content. It's eaten as a food in many places, but when concentrated into a supplement, we know less about its long-term effects.
Is acai safe to take regularly?
Acai is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement quality and the safety of high-dose supplements haven't been well studied. Because of that gap, it's smart to talk with your pharmacist before making it a regular part of your routine.
I take a diabetes medication. Can I use this?
Acai may raise or lower your fasting blood glucose, which could interfere with how your antidiabetes drug works. Check your specific medication through the tool on this page, and talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
