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 extract in a softgel capsule. The extract is surrounded by inactive ingredients including gelatin, soybean oil, glycerin, soy lecithin, beeswax, and caramel color.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant support for cell health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold on blueberry extract is thin. It's rated as possibly ineffective for high blood pressure.

For age-related memory loss, anxiety, athletic performance, and cholesterol levels, there isn't enough reliable evidence either way to say whether it works. Most of what we know comes from the fact that blueberries are eaten as a food — the strength of the science for a concentrated extract on these conditions is simply not established in our data.

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 extract is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects reported in trials are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, especially with freeze-dried forms; in one study, a quarter of participants who took 50 grams daily stopped within the first week due to stomach upset.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough data on concentrated supplements to say whether they're safe, though eating whole blueberries as food is fine. The same applies to breastfeeding — we don't have solid information on high-dose extracts.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you during these times.

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 start this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any antidiabetes medications (because of a possible increase in low blood sugar risk), flurbiprofen or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or buspirone. No interactions are documented for other medications we could check.

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 be worth considering if you're interested in general wellness and have talked it through with your doctor — especially if you take blood sugar medications or pain relievers. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any regular medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since some drug interactions are possible even if they're rated as minor.

Blueberry 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Eating blueberries as a food is fine, but we don't have enough data on concentrated supplements during pregnancy or while breastfeeding to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice tailored to your situation.
Does blueberry extract actually work for anything?
The science is limited. We have no reliable evidence that it helps with age-related memory loss, anxiety, athletic performance, or high cholesterol. It's actually rated as possibly ineffective for high blood pressure.
What are the side effects?
Blueberry extract is generally well tolerated. The main side effects are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — especially with freeze-dried forms. In one trial, about a quarter of people taking a high dose stopped within the first week because of stomach upset.
Will this raise or lower my blood sugar?
Animal and lab studies suggest blueberry extract might lower blood sugar levels. If you take diabetes medication, that's something to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since it could increase the risk of low blood sugar.
Is this product safe if I take pain medication or anxiety medication?
Lab research suggests blueberry extract might slow how your body breaks down flurbiprofen (a pain reliever) and buspirone (an anti-anxiety drug), but human studies have been mixed. It's worth checking with your doctor or pharmacist if you take either of those.
