HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tear Support with MaquiBright 60 mg by Life Extension

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: MaquiBright, a standardized extract of maqui berries (Aristotelia chilensis). Maqui is a South American fruit used in traditional medicine, and this extract is concentrated to deliver consistent levels of its compounds.

The capsule also includes inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose, rice bran, and silica—which are common binders and fillers that help hold the capsule together.

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: tear and eye health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dry eye, Ocular surface disease, Tear film stability, Lacrimal gland function.
  • The closest evidence on file: Maqui is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dry eye (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for maqui in this product is limited. For dry eye, impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), and psychological well-being, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't—it means the research isn't there yet to make a confident claim. If you're considering this for any of those reasons, talk it over with your doctor to weigh whether to wait for more data or try it anyway.

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 when eaten as food, but supplement safety hasn't been well studied. The safety data we have advises caution or avoidance at supplement doses because there isn't enough information to know what's safe long-term.

There are no adverse effects reported in our data. For pregnancy and lactation, safety information is not on file—so there isn't enough data to know either way.

If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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 any medication to manage blood sugar—insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, GLP-1 agonists, or others—check your exact medications with the tool on this page before taking Tear Support with MaquiBright, as maqui extract may theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar.

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.

Tear Support with MaquiBright may interest you if you're looking for a maqui supplement, but the evidence for its effectiveness in dry eye or blood sugar isn't established yet. If you take diabetes medication, you'll need to check whether this product is safe for your specific drugs before starting.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it to your routine, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or managing blood sugar.

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.
