HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Blueberry Extract by Wonder Laboratories

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 25:1 extract, a concentrated form of blueberry. The other ingredients are inactive — gelatin, soybean oil, vegetable glycerin, soy lecithin, yellow beeswax, and natural caramel color — they're there to make the softgel capsule and carry the extract.

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 Blueberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Antioxidant support to neutralize free radicals.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Cancer, Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cancer (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, and more.

The evidence for blueberry extract is limited. For high blood pressure (hypertension), the data suggests it's likely ineffective.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and cardiovascular disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works — the science just isn't settled yet.

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.

Blueberry is generally well tolerated. Eating blueberries as food is safe for most people, and the extract is no different in that regard.

The most common side effects from freeze-dried blueberries are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — in one trial, a quarter of people taking high doses dropped out in the first week due to stomach upset. For pregnancy and lactation, there isn't enough data to know whether concentrated blueberry extracts are safe at high doses, even though eating blueberries is fine.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement.

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 before using this if you take antidiabetes drugs (insulin or blood-sugar-lowering pills), flurbiprofen (Ansaid), or buspirone (BuSpar). All three have Minor interactions with blueberry extract that could affect how well your medications work or how high their levels get in your blood.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Blueberry extract may help if you're interested in general wellness, but the science for specific health claims is thin. If you take diabetes medication, anti-anxiety drugs like buspirone, or the painkiller flurbiprofen, check with your pharmacist before you add this supplement.

Blueberry 25:1 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 Extract by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Blueberry Extract by Wonder Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Blueberry 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 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.
Can I take blueberry extract if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Eating blueberries as food is fine in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. But concentrated extracts like this supplement haven't been well studied at high doses during pregnancy or lactation, so there isn't enough data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What are the most common side effects?
Blueberry extract is generally well tolerated. The main side effects from freeze-dried blueberries are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — especially at higher doses. In one trial, about a quarter of people taking 50 grams daily quit in the first week because of stomach upset.
Does blueberry extract actually lower blood pressure?
No — the evidence suggests it's likely ineffective for high blood pressure.
Can it help with memory or brain fog as I age?
The science on blueberry for age-related cognitive decline isn't settled yet. There's insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works, so we can't tell you either way right now.
What's the '25:1' on the label?
That's a concentration ratio — it means this extract was made from 25 parts of raw blueberry to create 1 part of extract, so it's a concentrated form of blueberry.
