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.

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 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
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: antioxidant and cellular health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: inflammation, joint health, exercise recovery.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

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.

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.

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

Why this rating?

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.

Cherry Fruit Extract 500 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Cherry Fruit Extract 500 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Cherry Fruit Extract 500 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cherry Fruit Extract 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data on concentrated cherry supplements in pregnancy or breastfeeding to know either way. While cherry as food is fine, the concentrated extract hasn't been studied in these situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice about whether it's right for you.
Does cherry extract actually work for heart health or arthritis?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. Studies so far haven't been conclusive enough to say whether cherry extract helps with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, or osteoarthritis. Your doctor or pharmacist can discuss what the current research shows for your specific interest.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. A small number of sensitive people may have allergic reactions — anything from mouth irritation to hives, swelling, trouble breathing, cough, or stomach symptoms. If you have a known fruit allergy, check with your pharmacist first.
What does a 10:1 extract mean?
It means the cherry fruit has been concentrated to roughly ten times its original strength. So one dose of this extract contains the potency of ten doses of whole cherry fruit.
Will this interact with my medications?
No interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient. That said, run your exact medications through the checker on this page or talk with your pharmacist before you start, just to be sure.
