HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Blueberry by Fruit Advantage

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.

Wild Blueberry by Fruit Advantage is a single-ingredient supplement: wild blueberry powder in capsule form. The product also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which are fillers and binders used to 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 Blueberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Brain support and healthy brain function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Cognitive function, Memory, Neuroprotection.
  • The closest evidence on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Blueberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function.

The data we hold on blueberry effectiveness is mixed. It's rated possibly ineffective for high blood pressure.

For five other uses — age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol, and heart disease — the evidence isn't established enough to rate. If you're taking this for one of those conditions, talk with us or your doctor about what the current research actually supports.

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 widely eaten and well tolerated. Freeze-dried blueberry supplements like this one are generally well tolerated too, though some people experience constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting — in one trial, about one in four participants stopped taking it in the first week due to stomach complaints.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding: eating blueberries is fine, but the safety data on concentrated supplements like this one isn't firm enough yet. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (for low blood sugar risk), flurbiprofen (an anti-inflammatory), or buspirone (for anxiety). All three interactions are rated Minor, but they're worth verifying against your exact medications.

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 safety information is well characterized.

Wild Blueberry 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.

Wild Blueberry by Fruit Advantage: Common Questions

Does Wild Blueberry by Fruit Advantage interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Blueberry 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?
Wild Blueberry 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.
Is wild blueberry safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data yet to know for sure. Eating blueberries as food is fine, but the safety of concentrated supplements like this one during pregnancy and breastfeeding isn't well studied. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What stomach side effects might I get from this?
Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are possible with freeze-dried blueberry supplements. In one trial, about one in four people taking 50 grams daily dropped out in the first week due to these complaints. Start with a lower dose if your stomach is sensitive.
Does blueberry actually lower blood pressure?
The data rates it as possibly ineffective for high blood pressure, so it's not a reliable choice for that. There isn't enough evidence to say whether it works for age-related cognitive decline, anxiety, athletic performance, high cholesterol, or heart disease either.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Check with your pharmacist first. Blueberry may theoretically increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with antidiabetes drugs, based on research showing it can lower blood glucose.
What's actually in this capsule besides the blueberry?
The capsule contains cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — these are inactive fillers and binders. The active ingredient is the wild blueberry powder itself.
