HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maqui Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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 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: maqui berry extract in dry form. Maqui is a South American berry sometimes used in supplements for antioxidant support.

The liquid also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients — the glycerin helps preserve and flavor the extract.

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 Maqui product and its label doesn't state a use — see Maqui'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 evidence for maqui berry extract is not yet established in the data we hold. Effectiveness ratings cover dry eye, prediabetes (impaired glucose tolerance), and psychological well-being — all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate the ingredient's benefit for these uses.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the science isn't solid enough yet to say either way.

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.

Supplement safety for maqui has not been well studied. The available safety information advises caution at food amounts but recommends avoiding supplement doses because not enough safety data exists.

No adverse effects from trials are on file. For pregnancy and lactation, there isn't enough information on file to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in those situations.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Maqui

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 — Maqui.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • 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, sulfonylureas, or other blood sugar medications — check your specific medications with the search tool on this page before taking maqui. Minor interactions are documented: the extract may theoretically increase your risk of low blood sugar when combined with these drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Maqui Alcohol Free is a single-ingredient berry extract with no established evidence of effectiveness for the conditions listed. If you take diabetes medication, you'll want to check your exact drugs before starting it, since a minor theoretical risk of low blood sugar exists.

Because supplement safety for maqui hasn't been thoroughly studied, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you begin.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, maqui fruit extract may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that maqui berry reduces fasting blood glucose. However, maqui berry extract taken orally, either as a single dose or daily for 3 months, does not decrease fasting blood glucose in prediabetic patients. It is unknown whether it might reduce blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.

Maqui Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Maqui Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Maqui Alcohol Free 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?
Maqui Alcohol Free 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.
Does maqui berry actually lower blood sugar?
Animal studies suggest it might, but human trials in people with prediabetes haven't shown that effect when taken by mouth — either as a single dose or daily for 3 months. So the real benefit in people isn't clear yet.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Maqui's supplement safety hasn't been well studied, so we don't have much data on what happens with regular use. The available information recommends caution with food amounts but advises against taking supplement doses without more evidence. Talk with your pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough information on file to know either way. Because supplement safety for maqui in pregnancy and lactation hasn't been established, it's best to check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What is maqui berry and why is it in this product?
Maqui is a berry from South America sometimes added to supplements for its antioxidant content. This product is a concentrated extract in liquid form, intended as a dietary supplement rather than a food.
Why does the label say 'Alcohol Free' if it's a liquid extract?
Many herbal extracts are made with alcohol as a preservative and to pull out active compounds. This version uses glycerin and water instead, so it contains no alcohol — that's what 'alcohol free' means on the label.
