HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry 900 mg by KRK Supplements

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: tart cherry extract at 900 mg per capsule. Tart cherry (also called sour cherry) is a concentrated form of the whole fruit, which you might recognize as juice or dried berries.

The capsule itself is made with gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose (a plant-based binder), and magnesium stearate (a flow agent).

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: Support healthy joint function and uric acid levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gout, Osteoarthritis, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia, Range of motion, Joint pain — and 2 related terms.
  • 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, Range of motion.

The evidence for tart cherry is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for athletic performance — meaning some studies suggest a benefit, but more work is needed to be sure.

For attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cognitive function, exercise-related muscle soreness, exercise-related infections, and fibromyalgia, the data we have isn't enough to rate it either way. If you're considering this for one of those other uses, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually shows for your specific goal.

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 from whole fruit or juice is generally well tolerated as food. Concentrated supplements like this one are less studied, so use some caution.

The most common side effects are abdominal pain, stomach upset, loose stools, and low energy, though they tend to be mild. One case of a possible allergic skin reaction to a specific tart cherry juice product has been reported.

Because concentrated supplements don't have as much safety data as the whole fruit, the facts advise caution — especially if you have a sensitive stomach.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for tart cherry extract. That said, it's always smart to check your specific medications using the tool on this page, especially if you take anything for stomach conditions or bleeding.

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.

If you're an athlete looking to recover better or just interested in tart cherry's antioxidant benefits, this may be worth trying. Start with one capsule and see how your stomach handles it, since gastrointestinal upset is the main side effect to watch for.

Talk with your pharmacist if you have any stomach conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Tart Cherry 900 mg by KRK Supplements: Common Questions

Does Tart Cherry 900 mg by KRK Supplements interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Tart Cherry 900 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tart Cherry 900 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.
Is tart cherry safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Tart cherry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That's a reassuring signal, but it's still a good idea to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new supplement while pregnant or nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
The main ones are abdominal pain, stomach upset, and loose stools — especially if you're taking a concentrated dose. These tend to be mild. In a study, about 29% of children taking tart cherry juice concentrate reported abdominal pain, so it's not rare but usually not serious.
Does tart cherry actually help with muscle soreness after workouts?
It's rated as insufficient evidence to rate. That means some research points that way, but we don't have enough solid data yet to say for sure whether it works. If you're curious, it might be worth a trial run and seeing how you feel.
Will this help with ADHD or focus?
The evidence for ADHD and cognitive function doesn't exist yet in the data we hold — it's insufficient to rate either way. If that's your goal, chat with your doctor about what's actually proven for attention before trying this.
Can I take this if I have a cherry allergy?
There's one reported case of a skin reaction possibly linked to cherry allergy from a specific juice product. If you have a known cherry or stone fruit allergy, skip this and talk to your pharmacist about whether it's safe for you.
What's the difference between whole tart cherries and this extract?
Whole fruit is more studied and generally safe as food. This is a concentrated extract in a capsule, so it delivers more per dose but with less safety data behind it — that's why caution is advised.
