HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glucose Support Mint 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

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.13 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid supplement contains 3 active ingredients: bilberry glycerite liquid extract, kidney bean pod glycerite liquid extract, and olive glycerite liquid extract, each concentrated from their respective plants. The formulation is delivered in a mint-flavored liquid base that uses glycerin as the carrier.

Bilberry contributes anthocyanidins (the pigments that give it its color), while olive provides polyphenols — compounds studied for various health effects.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: blood sugar and glucose support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Diabetes, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Metabolic syndrome, hyperglycemia, glycemic control.
  • The closest evidence on file: Bilberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diabetes (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bilberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Metabolic syndrome.
  • Also on file: Olive is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Metabolic syndrome.

The evidence for what this product actually does is thin. Bilberry is rated possibly ineffective for night vision, and the data is insufficient to know whether it helps with age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration, high cholesterol, or poor circulation.

Olive leaf extract is similarly under-studied for the conditions it's used for — including bone health, reflux, and joint discomfort — with insufficient evidence to rate it. Kidney bean pod hasn't been evaluated in our data.

If you're taking this for a specific reason, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bilberry Olive

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 and juice are generally well tolerated, though concentrated supplements have limited long-term safety data. The most common side effects are dark-colored stools, flatulence, and stomach discomfort — bilberry can also turn your stool and tongue dark blue or black, which is harmless but can be startling.

Olive leaf extract is also well tolerated overall, though headache and mild stomach discomfort have been reported. Bilberry is considered likely safe in pregnancy and lactation based on the data on file.

We don't have pregnancy or lactation safety information for kidney bean pod or olive in our data, so talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bilberry Olive

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.

Double-check this product before taking it if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — bilberry may increase bleeding risk (Moderate). Also confirm it's safe if you take diabetes medications, since bilberry may lower blood sugar further (Moderate).

If you're on a CYP2E1-metabolized drug or erlotinib (Tarceva), check with your pharmacist, as bilberry may reduce how well they work (Moderate). We could not check kidney bean pod extract for interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is meant to support blood sugar balance, but the evidence for its ingredients is limited and the interactions — especially with blood thinners and diabetes drugs — are real. If you take anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, or diabetes medications, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this in.

Anyone using it should also be aware of the potential for dark stools and stomach upset.

Bilberry Glycerite Liquid 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.

Glucose Support Mint Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Glucose Support Mint Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Glucose Support Mint Flavor has a known interaction with 275 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Glucose Support Mint Flavor contains 3 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.
Will this turn my stool dark?
Yes, possibly. Bilberry can cause dark-colored stools, and in studies some people's stools turned dark blue or even black after taking bilberry extract — it's harmless, just something to expect. Your tongue can also darken. This typically fades once you stop taking it.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing?
Bilberry is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation based on the data we have. We don't have enough safety information on file for kidney bean pod or olive in pregnancy and lactation, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does bilberry actually help with blood sugar?
Animal studies suggest bilberry leaf may lower blood sugar, and one small human trial hints at benefit, but the overall evidence is weak. We can't say it works reliably for this purpose — and because it may lower blood sugar further, it's especially important to discuss it with your doctor if you're already on diabetes medication.
What's the difference between this liquid and a bilberry pill?
The form — this one's already dissolved in a glycerin liquid, so you drink it rather than swallow a capsule. The active ingredient is the same. Liquid may absorb slightly faster, but there's no strong evidence one form works better than the other.
Will this give me stomach upset?
Some people report flatulence, bloating, or mild stomach discomfort with bilberry and olive extracts. These effects are usually mild and temporary. If you're prone to digestive upset, start with a smaller dose and see how you tolerate it.
