HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Blueberry 450 mg 10:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection

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: blueberry extract, concentrated 10:1 so that 450 mg of extract delivers the equivalent of a larger amount of whole blueberries. The extract also includes two inactive ingredients (gelatin and water) that make up the capsule.

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 Blueberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Blueberry'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 blueberry extract is mixed. For high blood pressure (hypertension), the data rates it as possibly ineffective.

For everything else on file — age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) — there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it either way. Cardiovascular disease prevention also falls short of solid evidence.

If you're considering this for one of those purposes, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see whether the current evidence supports a trial.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry

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.

Blueberries themselves are a common food and are generally well tolerated. This concentrated extract, though, hasn't been thoroughly studied in pregnancy or during breastfeeding, so there isn't enough data to know whether high-dose supplements are safe in those times.

The most common side effects from freeze-dried blueberries (which this extract is derived from) are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — serious enough that in one clinical trial, about a quarter of people taking 50 grams daily quit within the first week because of stomach complaints.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Blueberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications) — there's a theoretical risk of low blood sugar. Also double-check if you use flurbiprofen or buspirone, as blueberry extract may raise their blood levels.

If you take any other prescription medication, use the search tool on this page to look it up.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Blueberry extract might appeal to you if you're interested in antioxidant support, but the evidence for most health claims is limited. If you take antidiabetes drugs, flurbiprofen, or buspirone, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this — it could affect how these medications work.

And if digestive upset is a concern for you, start low and be prepared that your stomach may not tolerate it well.

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.

Blueberry 450 mg 10:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Blueberry 450 mg 10:1 Extract by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Blueberry 450 mg 10:1 Extract has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Blueberry 450 mg 10:1 Extract 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.
Is blueberry extract safe during pregnancy?
Eating blueberries as food is fine during pregnancy, but the safety of concentrated supplements like this one hasn't been well studied. There isn't enough data to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Eating blueberries as food while breastfeeding is fine, but the safety of high-dose extracts is unknown. There isn't enough data to know whether this supplement is safe for you or your baby. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the side effects?
Blueberry extract is generally well tolerated, but freeze-dried blueberries can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In one trial, about one in four people taking a high dose quit within the first week because of stomach trouble.
Does this actually help with memory or brain health?
The evidence for blueberry extract on age-related cognitive decline is insufficient — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works. If that's your goal, talk with your doctor about other options that have stronger evidence.
Can this lower my blood pressure?
Research rates blueberry extract as possibly ineffective for high blood pressure, so it's not a reliable choice for that purpose.
