HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maqui Berry by Paradise

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: maqui, a berry extract. The capsule also contains plant cellulose as an inactive ingredient (the capsule material itself).

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 is not yet established in the data we hold. Studies have looked at it for dry eye, blood sugar control in prediabetes, and psychological well-being, but the data we have is insufficient to rate whether it actually works for any of these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Maqui

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.

Maqui berry is likely safe in the amounts you'd get from food, but supplement safety hasn't been well studied. The safety data we hold advises against taking it in supplement amounts until we know more.

There are no adverse effects (side effects) documented in our data. Regarding pregnancy and lactation, we have no specific safety information on file—talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it's right for you during that time.

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 any antidiabetes drugs (medications for diabetes or prediabetes), check them below—maqui may theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with these medications.

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.

If you're curious about maqui berry and don't take diabetes medication, the main safety question is simply that we don't have enough research on supplement doses yet. If you do take diabetes drugs, check your specific medications below before starting.

Either way, a quick conversation with your pharmacist can help you decide if it's a fit.

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 Berry by Paradise: Common Questions

Does Maqui Berry by Paradise interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Maqui Berry 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 Berry 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 studies in people with prediabetes haven't shown the same effect. The evidence we have is too limited to say whether it works for this purpose.
Is maqui berry safe to take as a supplement?
It's likely safe in food amounts, but supplement safety hasn't been well studied yet. The safety data advises caution with supplement doses until we know more.
Can I take maqui berry while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have specific safety information for pregnancy or lactation on file. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what's right for you during that time.
What's in this capsule besides the maqui?
Just plant cellulose, which is the capsule material itself. There are no other active ingredients.
Why does this interact with so many diabetes drugs?
The interaction we have documented is with the drug type 'antidiabetes drugs' as a category—that's because maqui may theoretically lower blood sugar. The total number reflects all individual medications in that category, not separate interactions for each one.
