HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MaquiBright 60 mg by Swanson Ultra

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.

MaquiBright contains one active ingredient: a standardized extract from the maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis). The product also includes inactive ingredients — rice bran, hypromellose (a capsule material), silica, and rice extract — which serve as fillers and binders.

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 — see Maqui's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: dry eye formula.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dry eye, ocular surface disease, keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maqui is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dry eye (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold on maqui berry for its promoted uses — dry eye, prediabetes, and psychological well-being — is insufficient to establish whether it works. Animal studies suggest it may lower blood glucose, but human trials in prediabetic patients haven't shown the same result with oral extract.

More research is needed.

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 food amounts, but supplement safety hasn't been well studied. The safety data we hold advises caution, noting that we don't have enough information about supplement-level doses to recommend it without concern.

There were no adverse effects reported in the data we reviewed. We don't have enough safety information for pregnancy or breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 medication — whether insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or other blood sugar drugs — double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. There's a theoretical risk of low blood sugar when maqui is combined with these drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

MaquiBright is a single-ingredient maqui berry extract with limited evidence for the conditions it claims to address. The biggest concern is a possible interaction with blood sugar medications.

If you take antidiabetes drugs or have diabetes, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it. Even if you don't, supplement safety data for maqui is thin, so a conversation with your own healthcare provider about whether it's right for you is a good idea.

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.

MaquiBright 60 mg by Swanson Ultra: Common Questions

Does MaquiBright 60 mg by Swanson Ultra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, MaquiBright 60 mg 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?
MaquiBright 60 mg 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 that effect when taken by mouth as a supplement. The evidence we have is too thin to say whether it works for blood sugar control.
Is this safe to take?
Maqui in food amounts is likely safe, but we don't have enough research on supplement doses to be confident. Safety data is limited, so talk with your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're on other medications.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — they can weigh the pros and cons for your situation.
What's inside the capsule besides the active ingredient?
Rice bran, rice extract, hypromellose (the capsule material), and silica. These are inactive ingredients that help bind and deliver the maqui extract.
If I take diabetes medication, can I use this?
Not without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Maqui may theoretically raise the risk of low blood sugar when combined with antidiabetes drugs, so you need personalized advice before starting it.
