HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Natural Marine Collagen Blueberry by Vida Glow

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This powder contains four active ingredients: blueberry juice powder, stevia leaf extract, collagen, and natural blueberry flavor. The blueberry and stevia deliver the product's taste and bioactive compounds; collagen is the structural protein base.

You're also getting inactive ingredients — natural marine collagen listed among the other inactive components.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: skin, hair, nails and joint health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging, skin health, hair health, nail health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for blueberry is mixed and limited. Research suggests blueberry may not be effective for high blood pressure, but for age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol, and heart disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

Stevia also lacks sufficient evidence for diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight management. We hold no effectiveness data for collagen.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry Stevia

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Blueberries are generally well tolerated when eaten as food. Freeze-dried blueberries in clinical doses can cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting — in one trial, over a quarter of participants dropped out in the first week due to digestive upset.

Stevia and its compounds are generally well tolerated, and minor side effects like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and numbness usually resolve within the first week; allergic reactions are rare. For pregnancy, blueberry is considered likely safe, but concentrated blueberry supplements haven't been well studied in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Stevia has insufficient pregnancy and lactation data on file — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry Stevia

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Stevia, Blueberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 261 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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take lithium — stevia may raise lithium levels (Moderate concern). Also verify your use if you're on antidiabetes drugs, blood pressure medications, flurbiprofen, or buspirone, as the blueberry and stevia components may affect how these work (Minor interactions).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Natural Marine Collagen Blueberry is generally well tolerated, but it's not the right choice if you take lithium, and you'll want to double-check it with your doctor if you're on antidiabetes drugs, blood pressure medications, flurbiprofen, or buspirone. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss this product with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

For each ingredient in Natural Marine Collagen Blueberry with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Stevia leaf extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Blueberry juice powder3 drug types · 88 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, blueberries or blueberry leaf extracts might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal and in vitro research suggests that blueberry and/or blueberry leaf extracts can lower blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Buspirone (Buspar)

Theoretically, blueberry juice might increase blood levels of buspirone.
In vitro research shows that blueberry juice can inhibit the metabolism of buspirone, possibly by inhibiting cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzymes. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking 300 mL of blueberry juice 30 minutes before taking buspirone hydrochloride 10 mg does not significantly affect the concentration or clearance of buspirone.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Flurbiprofen (Ansaid, Others)

Theoretically, blueberry juice might increase blood levels of flurbiprofen.
In vitro research shows that blueberry juice can inhibit the metabolism of flurbiprofen, possibly by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) enzymes. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that drinking 300 mL of blueberry juice 30 minutes before taking flurbiprofen 100 mg does not significantly affect the concentration or clearance of flurbiprofen.

Natural Marine Collagen Blueberry by Vida Glow: Common Questions

Does Natural Marine Collagen Blueberry by Vida Glow interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Natural Marine Collagen Blueberry has a known interaction with 261 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Natural Marine Collagen Blueberry contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Blueberry in this product is considered likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but concentrated blueberry supplements haven't been thoroughly studied in these periods. We don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for stevia. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance tailored to your situation.
What side effects might I experience?
Freeze-dried blueberries may cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — in one study, over 26% of people taking a high dose dropped out in the first week due to digestive upset. Stevia may cause bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, or numbness, but these usually go away within a week. Allergic reactions to stevia are rare.
Does blueberry actually work for anything?
Research suggests blueberry probably doesn't help with high blood pressure. For brain aging, anxiety, athletic performance, cholesterol, and heart disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.
What's the collagen for?
Collagen is the structural protein that forms the base of this powder. We don't have effectiveness or safety data on file for the specific collagen in this product.
Why is stevia in there if it's not proven for health?
Stevia is used as a sweetener — it doesn't taste bitter like some other sweetening compounds. Like blueberry, it lacks strong evidence for treating diabetes or high blood pressure, even though some research suggests it might affect blood sugar and blood pressure.
