HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Maqui 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.

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 berry extract in a dried form. The liquid itself is made up of alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients (fillers and preservatives to keep it stable).

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 we hold on maqui berry extract is insufficient to rate its effectiveness for dry eye, prediabetes, or psychological well-being. While animal studies suggest the berry may lower fasting blood glucose, studies in people with prediabetes taking the oral extract — either as a single dose or daily for 3 months — did not show that effect.

More reliable human research is needed before we can say whether it works for 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 in food amounts is likely safe, but safety data for supplement doses hasn't been well studied. The safety information available is limited enough that the evidence advises caution and suggests avoiding supplement amounts until we know more.

No adverse effects from trials are on file. We don't have enough data on maqui in pregnancy or breastfeeding to say whether it's safe — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.

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 or blood sugar medications, double-check them against this product before starting — maqui theoretically raises the risk of low blood sugar when combined with these medicines.

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 berry extract may appeal to you if you're drawn to antioxidant plants, but the evidence we hold doesn't yet support its use for dry eye, prediabetes, or mood. The safety data is thin for supplement doses.

If you take diabetes medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product.

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 by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Maqui by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Maqui 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 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 extract actually lower blood sugar?
Animal studies suggest it might, but human studies of the extract — the form in this product — haven't shown it reliably lowers blood glucose in people with prediabetes, even when taken daily for months. The evidence isn't there yet.
Is this safe to take if I'm prediabetic?
The product's safety in supplement doses hasn't been well studied, so the evidence advises caution. If you're prediabetic or have diabetes, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — especially important given the theoretical risk of low blood sugar if you're on medication.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data on maqui in pregnancy or lactation to tell you either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What's the liquid made of besides the maqui?
Alcohol, water, and glycerin — these are inactive ingredients used as preservatives and to keep the liquid stable.
Has this been tested for side effects?
No adverse effects from trials are on file in our data, but overall safety information for supplement doses of maqui is limited and hasn't been well studied.
