HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cherry Fruit Extract 500 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe
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
This product contains one active ingredient: cherry fruit 10:1 extract at 500 mg per capsule. A 10:1 extract means the manufacturer has concentrated the fruit to roughly ten times its original strength.
The inactive ingredients are maltodextrin, vegetable cellulose, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate — standard capsule fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for cherry extract isn't established in the data we hold. The ingredient carries insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and osteoarthritis.
That means studies so far haven't been conclusive enough for us to say whether it works for these purposes. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current research shows.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cherry fruit is widely eaten as food and is generally well tolerated by most people. For concentrated supplements in pregnancy, the safety data advises caution — while cherry as a food is fine, the concentrated supplement hasn't been studied in pregnancy, so there isn't enough data to know either way.
The same caution applies to breastfeeding; the safety of the concentrated supplement isn't known. A small number of sensitive people may have allergic reactions ranging from mouth irritation to hives, swelling, trouble breathing, cough, or stomach symptoms.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we checked. That said, it's always smart to run your exact medications through the checker on this page or confirm with your pharmacist before you add any new supplement.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Cherry extract is a single-ingredient supplement generally well tolerated by most people, but the evidence for its intended uses isn't established yet. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known fruit allergy, check with your own doctor or pharmacist first.
For everyone else, it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider what the current research actually supports.
