HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Herbal Actives Acai 600 mg/20% Polyphenols Extended Release by Nature's Plus

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

This product contains one active ingredient: acai, a tropical fruit extract standardized to 20% polyphenols, in a 600 mg dose per tablet. Polyphenols are natural plant compounds with antioxidant properties.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients (microcrystalline cellulose, di-calcium phosphate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silica, Activessence, and pharmaceutical glaze) that help form and preserve the tablet.

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 Acai product and its label doesn't state a use — see Acai'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.

We don't have reliable evidence that acai supplements work for the uses this product markets — aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, or high cholesterol. The evidence for each of these is rated as insufficient, which means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say whether acai actually helps.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Acai

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Acai is generally well tolerated when eaten as a food, but the safety profile of concentrated supplements at higher doses hasn't been well studied. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough data on acai supplements to know whether they're safe, so caution is advised — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before starting this product.

No adverse effects were documented in the data we hold.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Acai

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Acai.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs — insulin, metformin, or any other blood sugar medication — run them through the search tool on this page and talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this acai supplement. Acai may interfere with how well those medications control your glucose.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This is a single-ingredient acai supplement with no proven effectiveness for the conditions it lists. If you take antidiabetes medications, you need to clear it with your own doctor or pharmacist first because acai can affect blood sugar levels.

For pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any other questions about whether it's right for you, check in with your healthcare provider.

Herbal Actives Acai 600 mg/20% Polyphenols Extended Release by Nature's Plus: Common Questions

Does Herbal Actives Acai 600 mg/20% Polyphenols Extended Release by Nature's Plus interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Herbal Actives Acai 600 mg/20% Polyphenols Extended Release has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Herbal Actives Acai 600 mg/20% Polyphenols Extended Release 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.
Is acai safe to take while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data on acai supplements during pregnancy to say either way. Since you're planning to carry a baby, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you — they can weigh the limited data and help you make the best choice for your situation.
Can I use this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough information on acai supplements during breastfeeding to know if it's safe. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — they can give you personalized advice based on what you're nursing.
Does acai actually help with weight loss or cholesterol?
The research we have isn't strong enough to say it does. For weight loss and high cholesterol, both are rated insufficient evidence — meaning the data so far doesn't support a clear benefit from acai supplements.
What are polyphenols?
Polyphenols are natural compounds found in plants that act as antioxidants. This product is standardized to 20% polyphenols — that's just the way manufacturers ensure you get a consistent amount of these compounds in each dose.
Is there any risk from taking a concentrated acai supplement versus eating acai berries?
Acai berries as food are generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements at higher doses haven't been well studied for safety. That's why the data advises caution — we know less about what happens when you take these pills than when you eat the fruit itself.
