HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry by PureCo
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
PureCo Tart Cherry is a single-ingredient product: tart cherry fruit extract in capsule form. The other ingredients are pullulan and rice powder — these are inactive components that help form and fill the capsule.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence on tart cherry extract is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for athletic performance.
For everything else listed — ADHD, cognitive function, muscle soreness after exercise, respiratory infections from exercise, and fibromyalgia — the evidence isn't reliable enough to establish whether it works. If athletic performance is what you're after, there's some reason to think it may help; for other uses, we simply don't have solid data yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tart cherry is generally well tolerated as whole fruit, but concentrated supplements like this one have less safety data behind them, so use caution. The most common side effects from supplements are abdominal pain, gastrointestinal upset, and loose stools — a clinical trial found that about 29% of children taking concentrated tart cherry juice twice daily reported stomach pain.
One case of a possible allergic skin reaction has been reported. Tart cherry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though remember that concentrated products haven't been studied as much as whole fruit.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. That said, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to be thorough — concentrated supplements are less studied than whole fruit, and new interactions may exist.
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.
If you're interested in tart cherry for athletic performance, there's some evidence it may help. The supplement is generally well tolerated, but stomach upset and loose stools are possible, especially at higher doses.
Since concentrated supplements haven't been as thoroughly studied as whole fruit, talk with your pharmacist before you start, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing any health conditions.
