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 fruit extract, derived from sour cherries. The extract is a concentrated form of the whole fruit.

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 joint health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Gout, Osteoarthritis, Range of motion, Uric acid metabolism, Joint mobility — and 1 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, Range of motion.

Tart cherry is possibly effective for athletic performance based on the evidence we have. For other uses — ADHD, cognitive function, muscle soreness, respiratory infections, and fibromyalgia — the evidence isn't established enough to rate it one way or the other.

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 fruit is generally well tolerated when you eat it whole or as juice, but concentrated supplement forms are less studied, so caution is advised. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, gastrointestinal upset, loose stools, and general weakness.

In one clinical study of children, about 29% reported belly pain after taking 75 mL of tart cherry juice concentrate twice daily for 2 weeks. A rare case of a skin reaction possibly linked to cherry allergy has been reported.

Tart cherry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

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 looking at tart cherry for athletic performance, the science backs its use. Side effects are usually mild and digestive in nature.

Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any medications — not because we know of interactions, but because they know your full medication list and can spot anything we might've missed.

Tart Cherry by dr.bo: Common Questions

Does Tart Cherry by dr.bo interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Tart Cherry. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tart Cherry 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?
Tart cherry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation based on the data we have. That said, it's always smart to check with your doctor or midwife before adding any supplement during pregnancy or while you're nursing.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well. The most common side effects are belly pain, loose stools, and general gastrointestinal upset. In a study of children taking the concentrated juice, about 29% reported abdominal pain. A very rare allergic skin reaction has been reported.
Does tart cherry actually work?
For athletic performance, yes — it's possibly effective. For ADHD, cognitive function, muscle soreness after exercise, respiratory infections, and fibromyalgia, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.
Why is this a concentrated extract instead of whole cherries?
Extracts pack more of the fruit into a smaller, easier-to-swallow capsule. But because concentrated forms are less studied than eating whole fruit, we advise caution — they may have different effects or side effects than the fruit itself.
Is there anything in this besides the tart cherry extract?
The inactive ingredients are rice powder, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (a capsule material), magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — all standard excipients to hold the supplement together.
