HelloPharmacist Scorecard of AuroraBlue Wild Alaska Blueberry Complex 200 mg by Swanson

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “AuroraBlue” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (200 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 4 active ingredients: Oval-leaf Blueberry, Alaska Blueberry, Bog Blueberry, and Dwarf Bilberry — all whole-fruit or leaf extracts that deliver the natural compounds found in these berries. The inactive ingredients are hypromellose (the capsule material), rice concentrate, and rice extract blend (fillers and flow agents).

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Total wellness for mind, body and home.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Aging, Anxiety, Asthenopia (eye strain), Atherosclerosis — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Bilberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bilberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Atherosclerosis, Cataracts, Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and more.
  • Also on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline.

The evidence for what this product actually does is thin. Both blueberry and bilberry show insufficient reliable evidence to rate their use for age-related cognitive decline, athletic performance, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), heart disease, macular degeneration, or chronic venous insufficiency.

Blueberry is rated possibly ineffective for high blood pressure, and bilberry is rated possibly ineffective for night vision. In short, we don't have solid data showing this product works for its marketed purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry Bilberry

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Blueberries and bilberries are generally well tolerated when eaten as food. With this supplement, the main concern is gastrointestinal side effects — freeze-dried blueberries can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting; in one trial, 26% of people taking 50 grams daily quit within a week due to stomach problems.

Bilberry may cause dark-colored stools, flatulence, stomach discomfort, and even temporary darkening of your tongue or teeth. For pregnancy and breastfeeding: the product facts rate both blueberry and bilberry as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation.

However, the safety notes caution that concentrated supplements in pregnancy haven't been well studied, and the safety of high-dose extracts while breastfeeding is unknown. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry Bilberry

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bilberry, Blueberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 277 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 taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you use blood thinners (anticoagulants like warfarin or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel), diabetes medications, or the cancer drug erlotinib (Tarceva). The blueberry ingredients also interact with the pain reliever flurbiprofen and the anxiety medication buspirone.

If you take any of these, run them through the checker on this page.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may interest you if you're exploring berry extracts for general wellness, but the science doesn't yet support its use for specific health claims. If you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, cancer medications, or drugs your liver processes via CYP2E1, you should check with your pharmacist first — the bilberry components carry meaningful interaction risks.

For most other people, the main watch-out is stomach upset.

AuroraBlue3 drug types · 88 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, blueberries or blueberry leaf extracts might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vitro research suggests that blueberry and/or blueberry leaf extracts can lower blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Buspirone (Buspar)

Theoretically, blueberry juice might increase blood levels of buspirone.
In vitro research shows that blueberry juice can inhibit the metabolism of buspirone, possibly by inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzymes. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking 300 mL of blueberry juice 30 minutes before taking buspirone hydrochloride 10 mg does not significantly affect the concentration or clearance of buspirone.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Flurbiprofen (Ansaid, Others)

Theoretically, blueberry juice might increase blood levels of flurbiprofen.
In vitro research shows that blueberry juice can inhibit the metabolism of flurbiprofen, possibly by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) enzymes. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking 300 mL of blueberry juice 30 minutes before taking flurbiprofen 100 mg does not significantly affect the concentration or clearance of flurbiprofen.

AuroraBlue Wild Alaska Blueberry Complex 200 mg by Swanson: Common Questions

Does AuroraBlue Wild Alaska Blueberry Complex 200 mg by Swanson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, AuroraBlue Wild Alaska Blueberry Complex 200 mg has a known interaction with 277 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
AuroraBlue Wild Alaska Blueberry Complex 200 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.
What's the difference between the blueberry and bilberry ingredients in here?
Both are berries with similar compounds, but they're separate species. This product includes both — two blueberry types and two bilberry types — to give you a broader range of the natural plant compounds they contain.
Will this help with my memory or brain health?
The evidence doesn't establish that either blueberry or bilberry works for age-related cognitive decline. There's insufficient reliable evidence to rate them, so we can't say whether this product will help.
What stomach side effects should I expect?
Freeze-dried blueberries can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. Bilberry may cause dark stools, gas, and stomach discomfort. In one trial, a quarter of people taking a high dose quit the first week due to stomach problems. Start with a lower dose if you're sensitive.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant?
The product facts rate blueberry and bilberry as likely safe during pregnancy. That said, the safety of concentrated supplements in pregnancy hasn't been well studied. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it's right for you individually.
Can I take this if I'm on aspirin or a blood thinner?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. The bilberry ingredients in this product may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners. Run your medications through the checker on this page, or call your pharmacist to be sure.
Will this interfere with my diabetes medication?
Possibly — both the blueberry and bilberry ingredients may lower blood sugar further, raising your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you're already on diabetes drugs. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
