HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bountiful Beets Black Cherry by Country Farms

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.

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: black cherry (also called wild cherry) and beet root powder. Black cherry is traditionally used in cough remedies, while beet root powder comes from the beetroot vegetable and is included for potential athletic and exercise recovery support.

The rest of the gummy is made up of inactive ingredients—glucose syrup, sugar, pectin, citric acid, natural flavors, carnauba wax, and other binders that give the product its texture and taste.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: boost energy and endurance with dietary nitrates.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Hypertension, nitric oxide production, cardiovascular endurance — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Beet is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Beet is rated "Possibly Effective" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness.
  • Also on file: Beet is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hypertension, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Pulmonary hypertension, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The data we hold shows no established effectiveness for black cherry in this product. For beet root powder, the evidence is mixed.

It's rated possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness, meaning some studies suggest it may help but the proof isn't conclusive. For other uses—chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cholesterol levels, and cognitive function—either the evidence shows it probably won't help (COPD) or there isn't enough reliable evidence to draw a conclusion (cholesterol and brain function).

This is a gummy meant to be enjoyable, not a proven remedy for any specific condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wild Cherry Beet

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Beet root powder is generally well tolerated when eaten as a food; it's in your grocery store produce section after all. Concentrated beet supplements, however, lack solid safety data, so use caution if you're relying on this product as more than an occasional snack.

The most common side effect from beet is harmless red or dark-colored stools and urine—don't be alarmed. Black cherry, on the other hand, carries a serious caution: the plant contains compounds that can break down into cyanide.

Small amounts in commercial cough products are considered safe, but large amounts can cause cyanide poisoning, which is potentially fatal. These gummies should be kept well away from children and eaten only in the serving amounts listed.

Black cherry is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided if you're pregnant. Safety data isn't on file for beet root powder during pregnancy, so talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you're expecting.

For breastfeeding, black cherry safety data advises against use, and there isn't enough information on beet root powder during breastfeeding either.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Beet, Wild Cherry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 862 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 you take this product, double-check if you're on medications broken down by CYP3A4 enzymes (Moderate severity interactions)—that includes certain cholesterol drugs like lovastatin and some antifungals and heart medications. If you take blood pressure medications or drugs processed through CYP1A2 enzymes like certain antidepressants, flag those too (Minor severity).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a casual gummy snack, not a high-potency supplement. If you take medications metabolized by your liver—especially heart drugs, cholesterol drugs, antifungals, or antidepressants—run your medications through our checker before taking it.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should skip it entirely. Keep it out of kids' reach and stick to normal serving sizes.

Beet root powder3 drug types · 861 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that betanin, the major pigment in beet, competitively inhibits CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner similarly to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Beet and beetroot contain nitrates, which can cause vasodilation, potentially leading to lower blood pressure. However, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure or heart rate in different age groups. Other small clinical studies suggest that while beet consumption might transiently lower blood pressure due to vessel dilation, there's no consistent evidence of a lasting effect. Overall, the theoretical risk of reduced blood pressure due to beet's nitrate content exists, but studies generally indicate a low and temporary impact rather than a sustained decrease.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that beet induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

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.

Bountiful Beets Black Cherry by Country Farms: Common Questions

Does Bountiful Beets Black Cherry by Country Farms interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bountiful Beets Black Cherry has a known interaction with 861 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bountiful Beets Black Cherry contains 2 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.
Is it safe to eat these gummies regularly?
Beet root powder in food amounts is generally well tolerated. Black cherry in small amounts in products like these is considered safe, but the facts emphasize that the plant contains cyanide-forming compounds and shouldn't be used in large amounts. Stick to normal serving sizes and don't overdo it.
What do these gummies do?
Beet root powder has some evidence it may help with athletic performance and exercise-related muscle soreness, though the proof isn't definitive. Black cherry doesn't have established effectiveness in our data. These are more of a nutritious snack than a therapeutic supplement.
I'm pregnant—can I take these?
No, black cherry is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy. Beet root powder doesn't have enough safety data during pregnancy either. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor for alternatives.
Why are my stools red or dark after taking these?
That's the beet root powder. It's harmless—just the pigment coming through. It's not a sign anything is wrong, and it'll go away once you stop taking the product.
Can I take these with my cholesterol or blood pressure medications?
That depends on which exact medications you take. These gummies contain ingredients that could theoretically affect how your liver breaks down certain drugs and might lower blood pressure further. Check your specific medications with the interaction checker on this page, and talk to your pharmacist if you're unsure.
Are there any fillers in these gummies?
Yes—they contain glucose syrup, sugar, pectin, citric acid, natural flavors, carnauba wax, and other binders. That's what makes them taste like gummies and hold their shape. The two active ingredients are black cherry and beet root powder.
