HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry Extract plus Celery Seed by Bronson
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
This product contains 2 active ingredients. Celery provides compounds traditionally used for a range of purposes, though the evidence supporting most of those uses is currently insufficient.
Tart cherry extract — sourced from sour cherry — is possibly effective for athletic performance based on available research. The capsule itself is made from modified cellulose, and the product also contains microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for this product's uses comes primarily from celery. For sexual dysfunction, anxiety, headache, depression, diabetes, and indigestion (dyspepsia), the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to make a rating — so we can't say whether celery works for those purposes.
Tart cherry extract is possibly effective for athletic performance; the research on its use for ADHD, mental focus, muscle soreness after exercise, and respiratory infections after exercise is insufficient to rate. If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Celery is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, but there are a few cautions. Some people are allergic — symptoms range from itching and burning in the mouth and throat to, rarely, anaphylactic shock.
Photosensitivity (severe sunburn-like reactions with sun exposure) can occur. In pregnancy, avoid medicinal amounts of celery seed because it may affect the uterus, though food amounts are likely fine.
While breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information about celery supplements, so it's best avoided. Tart cherry is likely safe in pregnancy and is generally well tolerated overall, though concentrated supplements are less well studied than whole fruit.
Some people have reported abdominal pain, loose stools, or general stomach upset after consuming tart cherry concentrate.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check this product with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk), levothyroxine or other thyroid medications (Moderate risk), venlafaxine or other antidepressants (Moderate risk), blood pressure medications (Moderate risk), lithium (Moderate risk), medications broken down by your liver's CYP1A2 enzyme (Moderate risk), photosensitizing drugs (Minor risk), or acetaminophen (Minor risk). If you're on any prescription medication, run it through the checker on this page.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're on a blood thinner, thyroid medication, antidepressant, or blood pressure drug, check your exact medications with our tool before starting — celery has documented interactions with several classes. Celery works best for people without allergies to it and those not taking the medications listed above.
Tart cherry contributes possibly effective support for athletic performance and is well tolerated in most people. Talk with your pharmacist about whether this product is right for your specific situation.

Tart Cherry Extract plus Celery Seed by Bronson Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Bronson's Tart Cherry Extract plus Celery Seed contains celery, which interacts with a number of medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (anticoagulants and antiplatelet medications) — celery root contains compounds that may thin the blood further, raising the risk of bleeding. This is a Moderate severity interaction that hasn't been confirmed in humans, but it's worth knowing about.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Celery also has Moderate interactions with several other drug types. It may increase blood levels of venlafaxine (Effexor), a common antidepressant.
It could reduce how well levothyroxine (Synthroid) works for thyroid disease, potentially causing symptoms like fatigue and dry skin. It may add to the blood-pressure-lowering effects of blood pressure medications.
It could theoretically raise levels of drugs broken down by CYP1A2 enzymes in your liver, and it may affect lithium levels by reducing how your kidneys clear it. On a Minor level, celery can make you more sensitive to sunburn when you're also taking photosensitizing drugs, and it might extend acetaminophen's (Tylenol) effects.
Tart cherry extract has no documented interactions in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 648 individual medications.
Before you start, run your exact prescriptions through the checker on this page to see if any are affected.

For each ingredient in Tart Cherry Extract plus Celery Seed 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
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.
