HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cherry Blueberry by DC

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has 2 active ingredients: cherry fruit extract and blueberry juice concentrate. We hold no interaction data for the cherry extract, so we can't speak to how it might work in your body.

The blueberry ingredient is a juice concentrate — a condensed form of the fruit. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica) that serve as fillers and binders to hold the formula together.

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 blueberry ingredient in this product has been studied for several conditions, but the evidence is mixed. For high blood pressure, it's rated possibly ineffective.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol, and heart disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't. We don't have effectiveness data on file for the cherry fruit extract in this product.

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 whole food are eaten widely and are generally well tolerated. However, this product contains a concentrated juice extract, not whole fruit, and concentrated supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy or during breastfeeding.

The safety notes advise caution with high-dose extracts in both situations. Freeze-dried blueberries can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — and in one clinical trial, about a quarter of people taking a high daily dose dropped out in the first week due to stomach upset.

This product's form and dose may differ, but gastrointestinal effects are possible.

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 (such as metformin, glipizide, or insulin) — blueberry may increase the risk of low blood sugar. Also verify if you use flurbiprofen (Ansaid) or buspirone (BuSpar), as the blueberry may raise blood levels of these medications.

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.

Cherry Blueberry might appeal to you if you're interested in blueberry's potential effects on blood pressure or general health, though evidence for most uses is limited. If you take blood sugar medications, flurbiprofen, or buspirone, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — the blueberry ingredient may affect how these drugs work.

For pregnancy or breastfeeding, the concentrated extract isn't well studied, so check with your healthcare provider first.

Blueberry juice concentrate3 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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cherry Blueberry contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 notes advise caution with concentrated blueberry extracts in pregnancy and while breastfeeding — whole blueberries as food are fine, but high-dose supplements haven't been well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in these situations.
What does blueberry actually do in this product?
We have limited evidence for blueberry's benefits. For blood pressure it's rated possibly ineffective; for brain health, anxiety, performance, cholesterol, and heart disease there simply isn't enough reliable data to know whether it works.
Will this upset my stomach?
Blueberry is generally well tolerated, but freeze-dried forms can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — about a quarter of people in one study quit a high dose in the first week because of stomach complaints. Your individual response may differ depending on the dose.
What's the cherry fruit extract for?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for cherry fruit extract, so we can't tell you what it's intended to do in this formula or whether evidence supports it.
Are there any fillers in this?
Yes — the capsule contains vegetable cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, and silica as inactive ingredients that help hold the formula together.
