HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cherry Fruit Extract 500 mg by Source Naturals

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

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 has one active ingredient: Sweet Cherry Fruit Extract at 500 mg per tablet. Sweet cherry is a food you've probably eaten whole, and this extract concentrates compounds from the fruit.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, modified cellulose gum, and silica — that help hold it together and make it easy to swallow.

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 — see Sweet Cherry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: natural antioxidant protection for joints and arteries.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gout, Osteoarthritis, Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Inflammatory joint conditions, Connective tissue health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Sweet Cherry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Sweet Cherry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis, Gout.

The evidence we hold for sweet cherry doesn't establish reliable benefit for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, weight loss, or osteoarthritis. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for these conditions, so we can't tell you whether it works for any of them based on what we have on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sweet 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.

Sweet cherry is widely eaten as food and is generally well tolerated for most people. Allergic reactions in sensitive patients are possible and can range from mouth or throat irritation to hives, swelling, breathing trouble, cough, or stomach upset.

The safety of concentrated cherry supplements in pregnancy and while breastfeeding has not been well studied, so caution is warranted — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a single-ingredient product from a cherry you know as food. There are no documented interactions with medications.

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.

Are there any side effects I should know about?
Sweet cherry is generally well tolerated, but allergic reactions can happen in sensitive people — ranging from throat irritation to hives, swelling, trouble breathing, cough, or stomach upset. If you notice any of those, stop taking it and reach out to your doctor.
