HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry by Anient Bliss
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
Anient Bliss Tart Cherry is a capsule with 2 active ingredients: tart cherry fruit extract and celery seed extract. Tart cherry is a concentrated form of the fruit, traditionally used for athletic recovery and muscle soreness.
Celery seed extract comes from the seeds of the celery plant. The capsule also contains methylcellulose, an inactive ingredient that helps hold the formula together.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence on tart cherry extract is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for athletic performance — that's the strongest claim we can make from our data.
For exercise-induced muscle soreness, ADHD, cognitive function, and other uses listed, we don't have enough reliable evidence to know whether it works. Celery seed extract has not been reliably tested for the conditions listed in our data, so we can't say whether it's effective for sexual dysfunction, anxiety, headache, depression, diabetes, or upset stomach.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tart cherry is generally well tolerated when you eat it as whole fruit or juice, but concentrated supplements like this one haven't been studied as thoroughly, so use some caution. The most common side effects reported are abdominal pain, loose stools, and general gastrointestinal upset — about 29% of children in one study reported belly pain.
A rare skin reaction possibly linked to cherry allergy has been reported. The fruit is rated likely safe in pregnancy.
Celery seed extract is well tolerated when eaten as food, but photosensitivity (extra sun sensitivity) and oral allergy syndrome can occur, and in rare cases, serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis have been reported. Medicinal amounts of celery seed should be avoided in pregnancy because it may affect the uterus; food amounts are likely fine.
There isn't enough data on celery supplements while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Anient Bliss Tart Cherry, check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity), levothyroxine for thyroid disease (Moderate), venlafaxine or other antidepressants (Moderate), lithium or other mood stabilizers (Moderate), blood pressure medications (Moderate), drugs that increase sun sensitivity (Minor), or acetaminophen (Tylenol) regularly (Minor). The celery seed extract in this product is the source of these interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product might appeal to you if you're interested in athletic recovery, but the evidence for tart cherry in that area is only "possibly effective." If you take any blood thinners, thyroid medication, antidepressants, or mood stabilizers, talk to your pharmacist before starting — celery seed extract in this formula has documented interactions with those drug types. Anyone with a celery allergy should skip it entirely.

Tart Cherry by Anient Bliss Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Anient Bliss Tart Cherry contains two active ingredients: tart cherry fruit extract and celery seed extract.
Tart cherry has no documented interactions with medications. Celery seed extract, however, does interact with a number of drugs.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (medications that prevent clotting). Celery seed extract theoretically may increase bleeding risk when combined with these, though this hasn't been confirmed in humans yet.
You should also be careful if you take levothyroxine (Synthroid) for thyroid problems — there are a few case reports of people whose thyroid control got worse after starting celery seed tablets.
Celery seed extract can also raise blood levels of the antidepressant venlafaxine (Effexor), potentially increase lithium levels (used for bipolar disorder), and theoretically affect how your liver breaks down certain medications metabolized by the enzyme CYP1A2. Sun-sensitizing drugs and acetaminophen (Tylenol) may also be affected at the Moderate and Minor levels, respectively.
Altogether, these interactions span 648 individual medications. If you take any prescription medication, especially a blood thinner, thyroid hormone, antidepressant, or mood stabilizer, run your exact drugs through the checker below before adding this product.

For each ingredient in Tart Cherry with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Celery Seed Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, celery root might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
Celery root contains the constituents falcarinol and falcarindiol. Laboratory research suggests that these constituents can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, celery seed extract might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Clinical research suggests that taking celery seed extract may reduce daytime systolic blood pressure by about 12 mmHg compared to less than 1 mmHg with placebo.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, celery might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro and animal research suggests that constituents of celery can inhibit CYP1A2. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)
Theoretically, celery seed might decrease the effects of levothyroxine.
Several cases of hypothyroidism with low T4 levels have been reported in people who were previously stabilized on levothyroxine and then started taking celery seed tablets. They presented with symptoms such as lethargy, bloating, and dry skin, and recovered when celery seed was stopped. However, celery stem and leaf has been associated with case reports of hyperthyroidism in patients with no pre-existing thyroid disorders.
Lithium
Theoretically, celery might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium due to potential diuretic effects.
Celery is thought to have diuretic properties. However, this effect has not been confirmed in humans.
Venlafaxine (Effexor)
Theoretically, celery root extract might increase blood levels of venlafaxine.
There is one case report of a patient who experienced medication-induced bipolar disorder after beginning to take celery root extract 1000 mg daily along with venlafaxine 75 mg and St. John's wort 600 mg daily. Symptoms included confusion, speech abnormalities, manic affect, and visual hallucinations. The plasma level of venlafaxine was 476.8 ng/mL (normal range 195-400 ng/mL). It is theorized that celery root increased venlafaxine levels by inhibiting cytochrome P450 2D6.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)
Theoretically, celery juice might increase the effects and side effects of acetaminophen.
Animal research suggests that concomitant use of celery juice plus acetaminophen prolongs the effects of acetaminophen. This effect has been attributed to a decrease in hepatic cytochrome P450 activity. However, other animal research shows that pretreatment with celery root extract protects against acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure. These effects have not been reported in humans.
Photosensitizing Drugs
Theoretically, celery might increase the risk of photosensitivity reactions when taken with photosensitizing drugs.
Laboratory research shows that celery contains photosensitizing agents such as phenols and psoralens.
