Acai Berry and Birth Control: Potential Interactions & Safety Concerns

Question
Is it alright to use Acai Berry products while taking birth control pills (Ortho-Novum 135/28)?

Answer
Hi Mary,

Yes, you need to be careful with some medications and birth control pills. I'm not a medical professional so please consult your doctor about this. My first reaction is that it would not be a problem as Acai Berry is a natural product. I don't recommend birth control pills or any kind of hormonal birth control method. I feel that the risks and side effects are too great and that a natural method would be better. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more about things.
