HelloPharmacist Scorecard of FloraVision With Lutein by Flora

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.

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.
  • “Lutein” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (18 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

FloraVision With Lutein contains two active ingredients: bilberry fruit extract and lutein. Bilberry is a berry traditionally used for vision and eye health, while lutein is a carotenoid (a plant pigment) that concentrates in the retina (the back of the eye).

The product also contains several inactive ingredients—carrot powder, a plant-based capsule material (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), purified water, glucose syrup, sodium ascorbate, vitamin E (DL-alpha-tocopherol), and corn starches—which serve as fillers, binders, and capsule material.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: nutritional support and protection for the eyes.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Asthenopia (eye strain), Cataracts, Dry eye, Glaucoma, Myopia — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Cataracts.
  • Also on file: Bilberry is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Night vision.

For bilberry, evidence is mixed. The data shows it is possibly ineffective for night vision.

For age-related macular degeneration (a condition affecting central vision in older adults), age-related cognitive decline, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, and chronic venous insufficiency (vein weakness and swelling in the legs), the evidence is insufficient to rate it. For lutein, the picture is clearer.

It is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. For retinitis pigmentosa (a genetic eye disorder), retinopathy of prematurity (an eye condition in premature infants), necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious intestinal condition in newborns), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a lung condition in premature infants), it is possibly ineffective.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bilberry Lutein

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bilberry fruit is generally well tolerated, though supplement safety and long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are dark-colored stools, flatulence (gas), and mild gastrointestinal discomfort.

Some people have reported mild-to-moderate gas and temporary GI upset in trials. Bilberry may also temporarily discolor your feces, tongue, or even teeth a dark blue or black—this is harmless and reversible.

The safety data advises caution with concentrated supplement doses due to limited long-term evidence. Lutein from food and typical supplement doses is generally well tolerated.

Doses up to 20 mg daily have not caused adverse effects in the data we hold. It is naturally present in breast milk.

Both ingredients are rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though lutein supplement doses higher than typical have not been well studied, so caution is warranted.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bilberry Lutein

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bilberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 275 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 FloraVision With Lutein, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin or aspirin)—bilberry may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you take diabetes medications, as bilberry may lower blood sugar, or if you take erlotinib (a cancer drug), since bilberry may reduce its effectiveness.

No interactions are documented for lutein with the medications we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

FloraVision With Lutein may be worth considering if you're interested in lutein for age-related macular degeneration or cataracts, or bilberry for general eye health—though evidence is stronger for lutein. If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or erlotinib, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since bilberry has documented interactions with these drugs.

Even if you don't take those medications, check your exact drug list against the interactions on this page before you begin.

Bilberry fruit extract4 drug types · 275 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that anthocyanidin extracts from bilberry can inhibit platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry leaf or fruit extract may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that bilberry leaf extract might have blood glucose-lowering activity. Also, one small clinical trial in patients with type 2 diabetes shows that taking bilberry fruit extract 470 mg as a single dose prior to an oral glucose tolerance test lowers plasma glucose levels when compared with placebo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Animal research shows that exposure to small concentrations of bilberry extract in drinking water for around one month increased CYP2E1 activity by 31%. However, exposure over a 2-month period did not increase CYP2E1 activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Erlotinib (Tarceva)

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might reduce the efficacy of erlotinib.
In vitro research suggests that bilberry fruit extract and its constituents, delphinidin and delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, inhibit the activity of erlotinib. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Both bilberry and lutein are rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. However, long-term safety data for bilberry supplements is limited, and higher lutein supplement doses haven't been well studied, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
What exactly is in this product?

Can I take this with my other vitamins and supplements?
