HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultimate Eye Formula by Woodstock Vitamins

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “BIL-MAX/BLU-MAX 2:1 Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ultimate Eye Formula has three active ingredients working on eye and vision support. Blueberry concentrate and bilberry concentrate are both fruit extracts rich in anthocyanins, compounds that give berries their deep color and are thought to support eye tissue.

Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid — a pigment your eyes actually store in the retina — that's been studied for age-related eye conditions. The product also contains standard inactive ingredients: a capsule shell and magnesium stearate (a binding agent).

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports eye health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Asthenopia (eye strain), Cataracts, Central serous retinopathy, Diabetic retinopathy, Dry eye — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lutein is rated "Possibly Effective" for Cataracts.
  • Also on file: Bilberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Cataracts, Diabetic retinopathy, Dry eye, and more.

The evidence for this formula is mixed. Lutein has possibly effective evidence for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, the two most common age-related eye problems.

Blueberry, on the other hand, does not have reliable evidence for any of the eye-related conditions listed — there's insufficient evidence for cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, and cholesterol support, and it's rated possibly ineffective for high blood pressure. Bilberry is similar: night vision is rated possibly ineffective, and the evidence is insufficient for AMD, cognitive decline, and several other conditions.

If you're specifically concerned about cataracts or AMD, lutein is the ingredient here with documented support.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lutein Blueberry Bilberry

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Blueberry concentrate is generally well tolerated, though freeze-dried blueberries can cause gastrointestinal side effects — constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In one clinical trial, about a quarter of participants taking 50 grams daily dropped out in the first week due to stomach complaints.

Lutein is well tolerated at doses up to 20 mg daily with no reported adverse effects. Bilberry is also generally well tolerated but may cause dark-colored stools, flatulence, and mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people.

All three ingredients are rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though the safety of concentrated blueberry and bilberry supplements — rather than food amounts — hasn't been extensively studied during these periods, so discuss with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lutein Blueberry Bilberry

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bilberry, Blueberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 277 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 you take Ultimate Eye Formula, check if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) — bilberry carries a moderate interaction that could raise bleeding risk. Also double-check antidiabetes medications (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas), as both berry extracts may lower blood sugar further.

If you take erlotinib for cancer, buspirone for anxiety, or flurbiprofen for pain, check those too — they all have documented interactions with these ingredients. Since the interaction list is long, the medication checker on this page is your best bet.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This formula combines two berry extracts and lutein for eye support. Lutein has decent evidence for cataracts and AMD.

If you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or any other regular prescriptions, check them against our drug interaction tool before starting — the berry extracts in this product interact with over 270 medications. Talk to your pharmacist if you're on any of those drugs or have a sensitive stomach.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Ultimate Eye Formula 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.

Bilberry concentrate4 drug types · 275 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that anthocyanidin extracts from bilberry can inhibit platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, bilberry leaf or fruit extract may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that bilberry leaf extract might have blood glucose-lowering activity. Also, one small clinical trial in patients with type 2 diabetes shows that taking bilberry fruit extract 470 mg as a single dose prior to an oral glucose tolerance test lowers plasma glucose levels when compared with placebo.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
Animal research shows that exposure to small concentrations of bilberry extract in drinking water for around one month increased CYP2E1 activity by 31%. However, exposure over a 2-month period did not increase CYP2E1 activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Erlotinib (Tarceva)

Theoretically, bilberry fruit extract might reduce the efficacy of erlotinib.
In vitro research suggests that bilberry fruit extract and its constituents, delphinidin and delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, inhibit the activity of erlotinib. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Bilberry concentrate full monograph & interactions

Blueberry concentrate3 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.

Ultimate Eye Formula by Woodstock Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Ultimate Eye Formula by Woodstock Vitamins interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ultimate Eye Formula has a known interaction with 277 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ultimate Eye Formula contains 3 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.
Does this formula actually work for age-related macular degeneration?
Lutein in here has possibly effective evidence for AMD, which is the strongest rating of the three ingredients. Blueberry and bilberry both lack reliable evidence for AMD — the research hasn't established them for eye conditions. Lutein is your best bet in this formula for that specific concern.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
All three ingredients are rated likely safe in pregnancy. That said, the safety of concentrated blueberry and bilberry supplements during pregnancy hasn't been deeply studied, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you personally.
What side effects might I get?
Blueberry and bilberry can both cause gastrointestinal upset — constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting with blueberry, and dark stools or flatulence with bilberry. About a quarter of people taking high-dose freeze-dried blueberry dropped out of one trial due to stomach issues. Lutein is well tolerated with no adverse effects reported at typical doses.
Is this safe if I'm breastfeeding?
All three ingredients are rated likely safe while breastfeeding. The safety of high-dose concentrated blueberry and bilberry supplements isn't as well established as food amounts, though, so check with your pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What exactly is lutein and why is it in an eye formula?
Lutein is a plant pigment called a carotenoid that your eyes naturally store in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. It's thought to protect eye tissue from damage, and it's the ingredient here with evidence supporting its use for cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Will this turn my stools dark?
Yes — bilberry can cause dark-colored or bluish-black stools in some people, and blueberry can too. About half the people in one bilberry study reported dark green stools. This is harmless and should go away when you stop taking the product.
