HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cherry Concentrate 750 mg by NOW

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 12, 2026

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: wild cherry concentrate at 750 mg per capsule. The remaining ingredients — hypromellose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — are inactive binders and capsule materials.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: free radical neutralizing antioxidant support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antioxidant status, Oxidative stress, Free radical scavenging.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for wild cherry in our data, so the evidence for its intended use is not established in the information we have on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wild Cherry

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.

Wild cherry is generally considered safe in the small amounts found in commercial cough products, but the plant contains compounds that can produce cyanide when consumed in large quantities. Taking large amounts has led to cyanide poisoning, which can be fatal — one documented case involved a person who consumed roughly 300 grams of wild cherries steeped in alcohol and developed headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, severe breathing difficulty, and eventually became unresponsive.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Wild Cherry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 644 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 taking NOW Cherry Concentrate, check with your pharmacist if you take any drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 enzymes — a large category that includes cholesterol medications (statins like lovastatin), antifungal drugs (ketoconazole, itraconazole), and many others. The interaction is theoretical but involves a significant medication count.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product carries real safety concerns at higher doses because of cyanide-forming compounds, plus a theoretical — though not yet human-confirmed — interaction with a broad class of medications. Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you take statins, antifungals, or any regular prescription drug.

Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Cherry1 drug type · 643 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

In vitro research suggests that wild cherry can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes. Theoretically, wild cherry might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. However, so far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and others.
