HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Formula 808 Blueberry Extract 1000 mg by Wonder Laboratories

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.
  • “Blueberry” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Formula 808 contains one active ingredient: blueberry extract at 1,000 mg per softgel. The softgel also includes several inactive ingredients — soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, beeswax, lecithin, carob extract, and titanium dioxide — which serve as the capsule and to help deliver the extract.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Blueberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant support with cell-protective benefits.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Cognitive function, Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Hypertriglyceridemia, and more.

The effectiveness data for blueberry extract is mixed. It's rated possibly ineffective for high blood pressure.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, cardiovascular disease, and high cholesterol, the evidence isn't established in our data — there simply isn't enough reliable research to rate it either way. If you're considering this product for one of those purposes, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence actually supports.

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 safe for most people. When taken as an oral supplement, blueberry is generally well tolerated, though freeze-dried blueberries can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — in one trial, over a quarter of people taking 50 grams daily had enough gastrointestinal complaints to drop out in the first week.

For pregnancy, the data advises against high-dose concentrated extracts; eating whole blueberries is fine, but how this supplement behaves during pregnancy hasn't been well studied. The same applies to breastfeeding — the safety of high-dose extracts is unknown.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

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.

Check before you start if you take antidiabetes drugs (Minor risk of low blood sugar), flurbiprofen (Minor risk of increased levels), or buspirone (Minor risk of increased levels). These are the only medication types with documented interactions in our data.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take antidiabetes drugs, flurbiprofen, or buspirone, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before you start — all interactions are Minor, but they're worth confirming. If you're sensitive to stomach upset, keep in mind that freeze-dried blueberry can cause digestive complaints.

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.

Formula 808 Blueberry Extract 1000 mg by Wonder Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Formula 808 Blueberry Extract 1000 mg by Wonder Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Formula 808 Blueberry Extract 1000 mg 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?
Formula 808 Blueberry Extract 1000 mg 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 cause stomach upset?
Blueberry supplements are generally well tolerated, but freeze-dried blueberries — which this product contains — can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting in some people. In one clinical trial, over a quarter of participants taking 50 grams daily had enough GI complaints to quit in the first week, so if your stomach is sensitive, start cautiously or talk with your pharmacist.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Eating whole blueberries is fine during pregnancy, but concentrated blueberry extracts like this haven't been well studied. There isn't enough data to know if this supplement is safe at high doses while pregnant. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety of high-dose blueberry extracts while breastfeeding is unknown — eating whole blueberries is fine, but how concentrated supplements affect breastfeeding hasn't been established. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Does blueberry extract actually lower blood pressure?
According to our data, blueberry extract is rated possibly ineffective for high blood pressure, so it's not a reliable choice for that purpose.
What does blueberry extract do for cognitive decline or memory?
The evidence for blueberry extract in age-related cognitive decline isn't established — there isn't enough reliable research to say whether it works. If that's what you're considering it for, talk with your pharmacist about what's actually supported by current research.
