Chemotherapy Interactions
Acai Berry Supreme is a dietary supplement made with the extract of the Amazonian acai berry, a fruit that has gotten rave reviews for its antioxidants and vitamins. Unfortunately, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center says the berry's antioxidant effects may interfere with the actions of certain chemotherapy drugs. Because Acai Berry Supreme is made from the acai berry, it's wise to assume that this is also the case.
Potassium and High Blood Pressure
The acai berry is high in potassium, according to the website askahealer.com--which begs the question of how Acai Berry Supreme would interact with potassium-sparing diuretics, salt pills or potassium supplements to treat high blood pressure. Be sure to consult a doctor if you're on any of these sorts of medications, to see if the Acai Berry Supreme supplement could lead to abnormal potassium levels.
Many Questions Unanswered
There's a lot known about the acai berry itself, but not much is known about the supplement Acai Berry Supreme. This is because the nutritional labeling lacks in details about its formula, as is common with natural supplements that are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. A lack of ingredient information--together with the fact that the product is new and no long-terms studies are available--make educated guesses about side effects and health risks difficult.
