HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yacon Slim With Chia And Acai by DietWorks

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 Oct 1, 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 9 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Acai juice extract” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This 9-ingredient liquid blend includes acai juice extract, chia seed extract, maca tuber extract, camu camu, and maqui berry extract as its main active players — each brings its own nutrient or plant-compound profile. You're also getting yacon syrup (a natural sweetener) and fiber.

The rest is excipients: water, fructose, citric acid, natural flavors, preservatives, xanthan gum for texture, and sucralose for sweetness.

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: weight loss and healthy metabolism support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Diabetes, Impaired glucose tolerance (Prediabetes) — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chia is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Hyperlipidemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chia is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Obesity.
  • Also on file: Acai is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity, Metabolic syndrome.

The evidence we hold for most of these ingredients is thin. Chia seed extract rates as possibly ineffective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) and obesity.

Acai, maca, camu camu, and maqui berry all have insufficient evidence to rate them for their marketed uses — meaning the science isn't there yet to say whether they work for aging skin, athletic performance, sexual function, bone health, blood sugar control, or mood. That doesn't mean they don't work; it means we don't have solid trial data in the facts we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Acai Chia Maca Camu Camu Maqui

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 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Acai is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement quality and high-dose effects haven't been well studied. Chia is widely eaten and generally well tolerated; mild gastrointestinal effects like flatulence and soft stools show up in some people at higher doses, and anaphylaxis is rare but possible in sensitive individuals.

Maca is generally well tolerated in food amounts, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been studied. Camu camu and maqui berry are likely safe in food amounts, but high-dose supplement safety data is sparse.

We hold no data on adverse effects for yacon syrup, fiber, capauacu juice, or pichuberry juice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Acai Chia Maca Camu Camu Maqui

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 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Acai, Maqui.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • 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.

Antidiabetes drugs are the main concern here. If you're on any medication to lower blood sugar, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product — acai and maqui berry may affect your blood sugar control.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product might appeal to someone looking for a fruit-and-fiber blend, though the evidence that any of these ingredients actually delivers weight loss or metabolic benefit is weak. If you take any medicine for blood sugar control, you need to check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — the acai and maqui berry could shift how your drugs work.

Long-term safety data is limited across most ingredients, so talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it fits your needs.

General Statements

Helps Promote Weight Loss Provides Vital Prebiotic Fiber (FOS) Supports Healthy Metabolism Rich in Antioxidants

METABOLIC GAME CHANGER

Peruvian Weight Loss Formula

Found in Peru and other parts of South America Yacon, often referred to as Peruvian ground apple, is a tuberous root, much like a jicama or sweet potato. The Yacon Tuber can be eaten plain, dried into a powder or cooked into a syrup or tea. In all its forms Yacon has been shown to support weight loss and healthy blood sugar levels. Yacon is an important natural source of FOS (fructooligosaccharides) which are a vital source of fiber for healthy digestive balance and good probiotic function by promoting "friendly bacteria". This type of fiber passes through the digestive tract unmetabolized and has a very low caloric value. This natural source of fiber has been shown to slow food transit time and support healthy blood sugar levels which can assist in reducing food cravings and assist in weight loss.

Yacon Slim With Chia And Acai by DietWorks: Common Questions

Does Yacon Slim With Chia And Acai by DietWorks interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yacon Slim With Chia And Acai has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Yacon Slim With Chia And Acai 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't there for most ingredients at supplement doses. Acai, maca, camu camu, and maqui berry have not been well studied in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the advice is to use caution or avoid them in concentrated supplement form. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product while pregnant or nursing — they can help you decide what's right for your situation.
Will this help me lose weight?
Chia seed extract, one of the main ingredients, rates as possibly ineffective for obesity. The evidence we hold doesn't support that acai, maca, camu camu, or maqui berry reliably help with weight loss either. This product has not been shown to work for that purpose.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
Chia can cause flatulence and soft stools, especially at higher doses. Anaphylaxis (a serious allergic reaction) is rare but possible in sensitive people. Maca may cause stomach pain if consumed raw. Most other ingredients lack clear adverse-effect data. Start with a small amount to see how your body responds.
What is maca tuber extract supposed to do?
Maca is used for sexual function, bone health, and athletic performance, among other things. We hold insufficient evidence to say whether it actually works for any of these claims. It's generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been studied.
Is this product safe to use with my medications?
That depends on what you take. If you're on a blood sugar drug, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist — acai and maqui berry may interfere with how your medication works. Use the search tool on this page to run your exact medications, and talk it over with your healthcare provider before you start.
