HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Blueberry Root Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita

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 Root Glycerite Liquid Extract. It's a concentrated liquid form of blueberry root prepared in glycerin.

The inactive ingredients are glycerin (the liquid base itself) and chocolate flavor.

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 we hold doesn't establish that blueberry helps most of the conditions tested. For high blood pressure (hypertension), the rating is possibly ineffective.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it either way. For heart disease (cardiovascular disease), similarly, the evidence is insufficient.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, it's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist whether the current evidence supports it for your situation.

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. This supplement is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though freeze-dried blueberry preparations in clinical trials have caused constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting in some people—in one study, about a quarter of participants dropped out in the first week due to stomach problems.

Blueberries as food are safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but concentrated supplements haven't been well studied in either. The safety rating on file is "Likely Safe" for pregnancy and lactation, though the data for high-dose extracts is limited.

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting a concentrated blueberry 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (like insulin or metformin), check with your doctor or pharmacist first—this extract may increase the risk of low blood sugar. Also double-check if you're on flurbiprofen (Ansaid) or buspirone (BuSpar), since the extract might raise their blood levels.

Your own healthcare provider can advise whether it's safe to combine.

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 is a single-ingredient blueberry extract in liquid form—straightforward and generally well tolerated, though some people experience stomach upset. If you take antidiabetes medications, flurbiprofen, or buspirone, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it, because the extract could theoretically affect how these drugs work.

The evidence for what blueberry actually does for most health conditions remains limited.

Blueberry Root Glycerite Liquid 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 Root Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Blueberry Root Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Blueberry Root Chocolate Flavor 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 Root Chocolate Flavor 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?
The safety rating on file says it's likely safe, but concentrated blueberry supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy and lactation the way whole blueberries have. There isn't enough data to know for certain. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before starting.
Will this help my memory or thinking as I get older?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether blueberry works for age-related cognitive decline. If this is something you're considering for, it's worth asking your doctor about.
What side effects does blueberry give?
Most people tolerate blueberry well by mouth. Freeze-dried blueberry preparations in studies have caused constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting in some people, and in one trial about a quarter of participants stopped taking it in the first week due to stomach complaints.
Is this just whole blueberries in a bottle?
No—this is a concentrated glycerite extract of blueberry root, not whole blueberries. Because it's more concentrated, it may have stronger effects than eating fresh berries, which is why interaction risks are worth checking.
Can this help my blood pressure or cholesterol?
For high blood pressure, the evidence rates as possibly ineffective. For high cholesterol, there isn't enough reliable evidence either way. Your doctor can tell you whether blueberry supplements fit into your overall plan.
