HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry 1,500 mg by Windmill Natural Vitamins

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.
  • “Tart Cherry” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (1,500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: tart cherry extract, a concentrated form of the tart (or sour) cherry fruit. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients including rice flour, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica, which serve as fillers and binders to hold the capsule together.

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 Sour Cherry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Antioxidant support and inflammation management.
  • We looked for evidence on: Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Gout, Osteoarthritis, Aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia, Joint health, General inflammation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Sour Cherry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Sour Cherry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis, Gout, Aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia.

The evidence for tart cherry extract is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for athletic performance.

For other uses — including ADHD, cognitive function, exercise-induced muscle soreness, exercise-related infections, and fibromyalgia — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate it reliably. That doesn't mean it doesn't work for those purposes, just that the data isn't there yet to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sour 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.

Tart cherry is generally well tolerated when you eat it as whole fruit or drink the juice, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied, so caution is warranted. The most common side effects from concentrated tart cherry in trials and case reports are abdominal pain, loose stools, and general gastrointestinal upset.

A single case of a possible allergic skin reaction has been reported. Little safety information exists specifically for supplement doses, so if you experience any stomach issues, dial back or stop and talk with us.

The bottom line

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.

Tart cherry extract may help with athletic performance, though the evidence is modest. If you're interested in trying it for that reason — or just curious about the supplement — it's generally well tolerated, but stomach upset is the main thing to watch for.

Talk with your pharmacist if you have a sensitive stomach or any questions about whether it's right for you.

Tart Cherry 1,500 mg by Windmill Natural Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Tart Cherry 1,500 mg by Windmill Natural Vitamins interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Tart Cherry 1,500 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tart Cherry 1,500 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.
What is tart cherry extract, and is it the same as eating tart cherries?
Tart cherry extract is a concentrated form of the sour cherry fruit. While eating whole tart cherries or drinking the juice is likely fine, the concentrated supplements in this product haven't been studied as thoroughly, so use caution — especially if you have a sensitive stomach.
Can tart cherry help with muscle soreness or workout recovery?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to rate it reliably for exercise-induced muscle soreness or recovery. The one solid use is possibly effective for athletic performance, though the data there is modest too.
What side effects should I expect?
Most people tolerate it well, but the most common side effects are abdominal pain, loose stools, and general stomach upset. In one trial, about 29% of children who took it reported belly pain. One allergic skin reaction has been reported, though that's very rare.
Is tart cherry safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The tart cherry in this product is rated likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. That said, concentrated supplements are less studied than whole fruit, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's the right choice for you personally.
Does this product interact with my medications?
No interactions are documented for tart cherry extract in our data. But absence of documented interactions isn't a guarantee none exist — check your exact medications with the tool on this page to be sure.
