HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry Extract 616 mg by SuperSmart

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: CherryPURE, a sour cherry extract at 616 mg per capsule. The capsules also contain acacia gum and rice flour as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Sour Cherry's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Sour Cherry for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Athletic performance — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence here is mixed. Sour cherry is possibly effective for athletic performance — that's where the strongest data sits.

For attention and focus (ADHD), cognitive function, muscle soreness after exercise, respiratory infections related to exercise, and fibromyalgia, the evidence isn't established well enough to rate it one way or the other. If you're thinking about this for athletic performance, there's reason to try it; for the other uses, the science hasn't caught up yet.

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 is generally well tolerated as food, but concentrated supplements like this one are less studied, so the safety picture isn't as complete. In trials, the most common side effects were abdominal pain, weakness, and loose stools or other digestive upset — roughly 29% of children taking a concentrate reported belly pain.

A rare case of skin reaction possibly tied to cherry allergy has been reported. Because safety data on supplement doses is limited, use caution if you're trying this for the first time.

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 for the ingredient we checked in this product. That's good news — but the science on concentrated cherry supplements and medications is still developing, so a quick conversation with your pharmacist before you start is always smart.

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 an athlete or active person interested in recovery and performance, sour cherry extract is worth considering. Anyone new to it should start cautiously because digestive upset is the main side effect seen in trials.

Talk with your pharmacist if you have a history of cherry allergy or digestive issues.

Tart Cherry Extract 616 mg by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does Tart Cherry Extract 616 mg by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Tart Cherry Extract 616 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tart Cherry Extract 616 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.
Does tart cherry really help with muscle soreness after workouts?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say for sure. We don't have reliable data to rate it one way or the other for exercise-induced muscle soreness.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes — the safety data rates sour cherry as likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. That said, it's always wise to run any new supplement by your doctor or midwife during pregnancy, just to make sure it fits your individual situation.
What are the most common side effects?
Digestive complaints — belly pain, loose stools, and general stomach upset — are the main ones. In one trial, about 29% of children taking a concentrate reported abdominal pain. Most people tolerate it fine, but if you have a sensitive stomach, start low and go slow.
Is this safe to use long term?
The fruit itself is safe as food, but concentrated supplements like this one haven't been studied as thoroughly over the long haul. Use caution and chat with your pharmacist if you're planning to take it regularly for months on end.
What is CherryPURE?
It's a branded sour cherry extract — a concentrated form of the fruit used in this supplement to deliver the active compounds in a capsule.
