HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry 3,000 mg by Nutricost
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: tart cherry extract at 3,000 mg per serving. The inactive ingredients are rice flour, hypromellose (a capsule material), and magnesium stearate (a processing aid).
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Tart cherry extract is possibly effective for athletic performance. For attention, memory, muscle soreness after exercise, respiratory infections tied to hard training, and fibromyalgia, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate — meaning there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works for those uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tart cherry is generally well tolerated as whole fruit, juice, or extract, but concentrated supplement doses are less studied than food amounts. The most common side effects reported are abdominal pain, weakness, stomach upset, and loose stools — a study found about 29% of children given tart cherry juice concentrate twice daily for two weeks reported belly pain.
One case of a possible allergic skin reaction has been reported. Since safety data for supplement doses is limited, use caution and stop if you have persistent digestive symptoms.
Tart cherry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the tart cherry extract in this product. Before you take it, run your medications through the checker on this page and confirm with your doctor or pharmacist that it's okay for you.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Nutricost Tart Cherry may be worth considering if you're looking for athletic performance support, though the evidence is modest. Watch for stomach upset, especially if you're sensitive to concentrated fruit products.
Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, particularly if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of stomach problems.
