HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Blueberry Concentrate by NusaPure

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: blueberry whole fruit extract. The extract is made from the whole fruit and delivers the compounds that give blueberries their nutritional profile.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour — which are standard binders and fillers.

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), it's rated possibly ineffective.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and heart disease prevention, the evidence isn't established in the data we hold — there's insufficient reliable evidence to rate it either way. Talk with your pharmacist about whether this product makes sense for what you're hoping to address.

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 as food are widely eaten and generally well tolerated. Orally, the extract is generally well tolerated, though some people taking freeze-dried blueberries report constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — and in one trial, 26% of people taking 50 grams daily stopped in the first week due to stomach upset.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough data on high-dose extracts to know if they're safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.

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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others), flurbiprofen (Ansaid), or buspirone (BuSpar). All three interactions are Minor, but they're worth reviewing with your exact medications before you start.

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.

This single-ingredient product is straightforward: blueberry extract that's generally well tolerated but does interact with diabetes medications, one NSAID, and one anti-anxiety drug. If you take any of those, check with your pharmacist before starting.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor first.

Blueberry Whole Fruit Extract3 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.

Blueberry Concentrate by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Blueberry Concentrate by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Blueberry Concentrate 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 Concentrate 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 data on high-dose blueberry extracts in pregnancy or breastfeeding to know if they're safe. Eating blueberries as food is fine, but a concentrated supplement is different. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you decide what's right for you.
Will this help my cholesterol or blood pressure?
For high blood pressure, the evidence shows it's likely ineffective. For high cholesterol, there's insufficient evidence to rate it either way. If those are your goals, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually supports.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate blueberry extract well. The main complaints in studies were constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — and in one trial, about 26% of people taking 50 grams daily quit in the first week because of stomach upset. Start with the dose on the label and see how you feel.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
Blueberry extract may lower blood sugar and could add to the effect of your diabetes drug, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If you take insulin or other diabetes medication, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting — they may want to monitor your blood sugar more closely.
Is this just regular blueberry, or is it something special?
This is a whole fruit extract — a concentrated form of blueberry, not fresh fruit. Concentrated extracts haven't been studied as thoroughly as whole blueberries, so the safety profile isn't quite the same.
