HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Blueberry Root Vanilla 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 extract is mixed with glycerin and vanilla flavor as inactive ingredients to create a liquid form.

Blueberry root extract is made from the underground part of the blueberry plant. In supplement form, you're getting a concentrated version of compounds found naturally in blueberries, though the potency is much higher than eating the berries fresh.

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 supporting blueberry for most of its marketed uses is thin. For high blood pressure (hypertension), blueberry is rated possibly ineffective.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and heart disease, the reliable evidence isn't established — we don't have enough solid data either way to say whether it works. If you're considering this supplement for one of these conditions, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports it for your particular 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 a food are eaten widely and are generally well tolerated. Blueberry extract as a concentrated supplement, however, hasn't been studied as thoroughly.

The adverse effects most commonly seen with freeze-dried blueberries are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — a small clinical trial found that 26% of participants taking 50 grams daily of freeze-dried blueberry powder stopped within the first week due to stomach upset. This liquid extract may carry similar risks, though specific data on this form isn't provided.

For pregnancy, concentrated blueberry supplements haven't been well studied, so there isn't enough data to know if they're safe — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance. The same holds for breastfeeding: the safety of high-dose extracts isn't established, so check with your healthcare provider before using this product.

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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any antidiabetes medication (insulin, metformin, and similar drugs) — blueberry extract may increase the risk of low blood sugar. Also confirm with your pharmacist if you take flurbiprofen or buspirone, as this supplement 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 Vanilla Flavor might appeal to someone interested in antioxidant supplements, but the evidence for its marketed benefits is limited or absent. If you take medication for blood sugar control, pain, or anxiety, you'll want to check your specific drugs against the interaction tool before starting.

Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are possible side effects. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see if this product makes sense for your health goals and medications.

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 Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Blueberry Root Vanilla Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Blueberry Root Vanilla 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 Vanilla 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.
Will this blueberry supplement lower my blood sugar?
Lab and animal research suggests blueberry extract can lower blood glucose, but human studies are limited. If you take medication for diabetes or blood sugar control, that theoretical effect combined with your medication could increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) — that's why you should check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to say whether concentrated blueberry extracts are safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — eating whole blueberries is fine, but this supplement form hasn't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.
What are the side effects of this blueberry extract?
Blueberry extract is generally well tolerated, but the most common side effects reported with freeze-dried blueberry products are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In one trial, 26% of people taking 50 grams daily stopped within the first week due to stomach upset.
Does this blueberry supplement actually work for [condition]?
For high blood pressure, blueberry is rated possibly ineffective. For age-related memory loss, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol, and heart disease, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't. If you're taking it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence supports it for you.
Is this a freeze-dried blueberry powder or a liquid extract?
This is a liquid extract (a glycerite) made from blueberry root — not freeze-dried powder. The side effects documented for freeze-dried blueberry (constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting) come from that form; this liquid product may differ, but specific side effect data for this extract form isn't provided in our data.
