HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Blueberry Root Mint 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. The other ingredients are glycerin (a common sweetener and preservative in liquid supplements) and mint flavor.

The blueberry extract is the sole active component delivering whatever benefit the product may offer.

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 root extract is mixed and often limited. For high blood pressure (hypertension), it's rated possibly ineffective — meaning the data doesn't support its use for that purpose.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and heart disease prevention, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works. You'd be taking this product without a strong scientific foundation for most of its potential uses.

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 generally well tolerated and eaten safely by most people. This supplement is also generally well tolerated, though concentrated extracts haven't been studied as thoroughly as whole blueberries.

Some people taking freeze-dried blueberries have reported constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — in one trial, about one in four participants dropped out in the first week due to stomach upset. For pregnancy, concentrated blueberry supplements haven't been well studied, so there isn't enough data to know whether high-dose extracts are safe.

The same goes for breastfeeding. Eating blueberries as food is fine, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether a concentrated supplement is right for you during pregnancy or while 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — blueberry extracts may lower your blood sugar further. Also double-check if you're on flurbiprofen or buspirone, as blueberry juice may raise their blood levels.

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 Root Mint Flavor is generally well tolerated as a liquid extract, but the evidence for what it actually does is weak or absent for most uses. If you take diabetes medication, flurbiprofen, or buspirone, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting — the product may affect how they work.

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.
