HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Aronia 1150 mg by Samsara Herbs

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 contains one active ingredient: aronia melanocarpa, commonly called chokeberry. Aronia 1150 mg delivers 1,150 mg of chokeberry per capsule.

The capsule also contains cellulose, an inactive ingredient used as a filler.

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 Chokeberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant support and heart health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, Diabetes, Metabolic syndrome, oxidative stress — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chokeberry is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chokeberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, Metabolic syndrome.

The evidence for chokeberry's effectiveness is limited. For heart disease, it's rated possibly ineffective based on available research.

For age-related cognitive decline, age-related macular degeneration, athletic performance, and cancer, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chokeberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 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.

Chokeberry is generally well tolerated when eaten as food, but safety data for concentrated supplements like this one is sparse. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting.

In small studies, about 14% to 53% of people drinking chokeberry juice reported these issues. Because supplement safety at this dose hasn't been well studied, use caution and watch for stomach problems.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chokeberry

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 — Chokeberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 812 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 take this product, double-check if you're on trabectedin or other cancer drugs (Moderate risk), blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk), diabetes medications (Moderate risk), or any other drugs your liver breaks down through the CYP3A4 pathway (Moderate risk). If you take any of these, run them through the interaction checker on this page or ask your pharmacist first.

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 safety information is well characterized.

Aronia might appeal to you if you're interested in antioxidant-rich berries and you're not on any major medications. But if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, cancer treatments, or other prescription medications metabolized by your liver, talk with your pharmacist before starting — the interaction risks are real.

Stomach upset is common, so don't be surprised if it affects your digestion.

Aronia melanocarpa4 drug types · 811 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical and in vitro research suggests that chokeberry extract can temporarily inhibit platelet aggregation and decrease clot formation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Some clinical research shows that chokeberry decreases levels of blood glucose in some patients with diabetes. However, other clinical research suggests that chokeberry has no significant effect on blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that chokeberry inhibits CYP3A4. In humans, there is one case report of a drug interaction with trabectedin, a CYP3A4 substrate, which is hypothesized to have been caused by chokeberry inhibition of CYP3A4.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Trabectedin (Yondelis)

Theoretically, chokeberry might increase the effects and adverse effects of trabectedin.
In one case report, a patient drinking chokeberry juice developed rhabdomyolysis induced by trabectedin, a cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrate. It is possible that inhibition of CYP3A4 by chokeberry juice might have inhibited the metabolism of trabectedin and increased trabectedin levels in this patient.

Aronia 1150 mg by Samsara Herbs: Common Questions

Does Aronia 1150 mg by Samsara Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aronia 1150 mg has a known interaction with 811 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aronia 1150 mg 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 aronia help with heart disease?
The research suggests it's possibly ineffective for that use, so it's not a reliable choice for cardiovascular disease based on current evidence.
What are the most common side effects?
Gastrointestinal upset is most likely — constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. Studies show about 14% to 53% of people drinking chokeberry juice experienced these, depending on the dose and duration.
Is aronia safe if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data on file for us to advise you either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
Why is the interaction count so high?
Chokeberry may slow your liver's ability to clear a large class of drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme. That enzyme handles many common medications across different categories, which is why the number is large.
Is this safe to take with food or juice?
Aronia as a food is generally fine, but we don't have good safety data for concentrated supplements like this capsule at supplement doses, so use caution.
Does it work for brain health or eye health?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether aronia helps with age-related cognitive decline or macular degeneration, so we can't make that claim.
