HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Blueberry Syrup by Wise Woman Herbals

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.60 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

Wise Woman Herbals Blueberry Syrup contains one active ingredient: blueberry. The product also includes honey and glycerine as inactive ingredients to create the syrup base.

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 is limited. For high blood pressure, it's rated possibly ineffective.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol, and heart disease, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to rate whether it works. If you're considering this product for one of those purposes, talk with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports it for you.

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 syrup product, though, contains concentrated blueberry.

The most common side effects from freeze-dried blueberry supplements are constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — a clinical trial reported that about 26% of people taking a high dose dropped out in the first week due to stomach complaints. During pregnancy, eating blueberries is fine, but there isn't enough data on concentrated supplements to say either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this during pregnancy.

The same applies to breastfeeding: the safety of high-dose extracts while nursing is unknown.

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 antidiabetes drugs (blood-sugar-lowering medications) — blueberry may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Also confirm use if you take flurbiprofen or buspirone, as blueberry may raise their blood levels.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Blueberry Syrup may be worth considering if you're looking for general antioxidant support from a food-based ingredient, though the evidence for specific health claims is thin. If you take any blood-sugar-lowering medication, flurbiprofen, or buspirone, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this.

Stomach upset is the main side effect to watch for, especially at higher doses.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Blueberry Syrup with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Blueberry3 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 Syrup by Wise Woman Herbals: Common Questions

Does Blueberry Syrup by Wise Woman Herbals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Blueberry Syrup 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 Syrup 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 Syrup while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Eating fresh blueberries during pregnancy and breastfeeding is fine. However, concentrated blueberry supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy, and the safety of high-dose extracts while nursing is unknown. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this syrup if you're pregnant or nursing so they can weigh the potential benefits against what we don't yet know.
What are the most common side effects?
Blueberry is generally well tolerated, but freeze-dried blueberry supplements can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In one clinical trial, about 26% of people taking a high dose stopped after the first week due to stomach issues, so pay attention to how your body responds.
Does blueberry actually help with high blood pressure or heart health?
For high blood pressure, blueberry is rated possibly ineffective. For heart disease and high cholesterol, we don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works. If you're interested in this product for cardiovascular reasons, discuss it with your doctor first.
Will this help my memory or brain health as I age?
There isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to rate whether blueberry helps with age-related cognitive decline. Talk with your doctor if you're looking for support in that area.
Are there any fillers or additives in this syrup?
Besides blueberry, the syrup contains honey and glycerine — these are the inactive ingredients that give it its syrup consistency. There are no other fillers listed.
