HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Blueberry 50:1 Powder by Micro Ingredients

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: organic blueberry extract at a 50:1 concentration, meaning 50 pounds of fresh blueberries have been reduced to one pound of extract powder. There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

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 Blueberry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Blueberry'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 on blueberry extract is mixed. For high blood pressure (hypertension), it's rated possibly ineffective — the data doesn't support it as a treatment.

For age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and cardiovascular disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate how well it works. If you're considering this for one of those conditions, talk it over with your doctor to see if it makes sense for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry

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 1 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.

Blueberries as food are generally well tolerated and widely eaten. This concentrated extract, though, may cause constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — in one clinical trial, about one in four people taking 50 grams of freeze-dried blueberries daily stopped the study in the first week due to stomach problems.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data shows blueberries as food are fine, but we don't have enough information on high-dose concentrated extracts during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is right for your situation if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Blueberry

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 — Blueberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 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, have your doctor or pharmacist check if you use any antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, or similar), flurbiprofen or other anti-inflammatory pain relievers, or buspirone for anxiety. Blueberry extract may affect how these drugs work in your body.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Only minor medication interactions are documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Blueberry extract is generally well tolerated, but it may cause stomach upset in some people and could theoretically interact with antidiabetes drugs, flurbiprofen, or buspirone by raising their blood levels or effect. If you take any of those medications, check your exact prescriptions with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

For other questions about how it might fit into your routine, your healthcare provider is your best resource.

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.

Organic Blueberry 50:1 Powder by Micro Ingredients: Common Questions

Does Organic Blueberry 50:1 Powder by Micro Ingredients interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Blueberry 50:1 Powder has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Blueberry 50:1 Powder 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Eating blueberries is fine during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but we don't have enough safety data on concentrated blueberry extracts at high doses. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement if you're pregnant or nursing — they can help you decide what's right for you.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate blueberry well, but constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting have been reported, especially with larger doses. In one study, about a quarter of people taking 50 grams of freeze-dried blueberries daily quit in the first week because of stomach complaints, so start with a smaller amount and see how you feel.
Does blueberry extract actually lower blood pressure?
No — the evidence rates it as possibly ineffective for high blood pressure. If you're hoping to manage your blood pressure, work with your doctor on proven approaches rather than relying on this supplement.
Will this help with memory or thinking as I age?
We don't have enough reliable evidence yet to say whether blueberry extract helps with age-related cognitive decline. If memory concerns are important to you, discuss evidence-based options with your doctor.
What is this 50:1 concentration?
The 50:1 means the extract has been concentrated so that 50 parts of fresh blueberry reduce to 1 part powder — it's a more potent form than whole blueberry fruit.
