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 supplement contains 2 active ingredients: tart cherry extract and celery. Celery — the root and seed — has been used traditionally for a range of purposes, though the evidence in our data doesn't establish clear effectiveness for most of them.
Tart cherry extract, from the sour cherry fruit, is possibly effective for athletic performance; evidence for other uses is insufficient. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (modified cellulose capsule shell, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate) that serve as fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
In our data, tart cherry extract is rated possibly effective for athletic performance — the only condition with meaningful evidence support. Celery has insufficient evidence to rate its effectiveness for sexual dysfunction, anxiety, headache, depression, diabetes, and dyspepsia.
For the other uses listed in tart cherry's monograph (ADHD, cognitive function, exercise-induced muscle soreness, exercise-induced respiratory infections, and fibromyalgia), evidence is similarly insufficient.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Celery is generally well tolerated as a food, but concentrated supplements warrant caution — some people are allergic, and celery allergy can range from oral itching and burning to serious reactions like anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction with rapid drop in blood pressure and rapid heartbeat). Photosensitivity (increased sun sensitivity) is also possible.
In pregnancy, medicinal amounts of celery seed should be avoided because it may affect the uterus; food amounts are likely fine. There isn't enough reliable data on celery supplements while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided.
Tart cherry extract is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but concentrated supplements lack extensive safety data. Gastrointestinal upset (abdominal pain, loose stools) has been reported with tart cherry in some people, especially at higher doses.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners (moderate risk of increased bleeding), thyroid hormone replacement like levothyroxine (moderate risk of reduced effectiveness), lithium (moderate risk of increased levels), venlafaxine or other CYP1A2-metabolized antidepressants (moderate risk of higher blood levels), or blood pressure medications (moderate risk of excessive blood pressure drop). Also mention any photosensitizing drugs you're on and acetaminophen use.
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 take blood thinners, thyroid medication, lithium, venlafaxine, blood pressure medication, or any medication metabolized by the CYP1A2 liver enzyme, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — celery has documented interactions with these drug types. Tart cherry extract may help with athletic performance, though evidence for other uses isn't established.
Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before adding this to your routine, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any regular medications.

Tart Cherry Extract plus Celery Seed by Bronson Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Tart Cherry Extract plus Celery Seed by Bronson has documented interactions through its celery content.
The most serious concern is a moderate-severity interaction with blood thinners (anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs) — celery root contains compounds that laboratory research suggests can reduce platelet clumping, which could increase bleeding risk when combined with these medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Celery also has moderate-severity interactions with several other drug types: CYP1A2 substrates (a group of medications metabolized by a liver enzyme — celery may raise their blood levels), lithium (celery's diuretic properties might reduce how your body clears it), levothyroxine or thyroid hormone replacement (celery seed has been linked to reduced thyroid medication effectiveness in case reports), venlafaxine (an antidepressant — celery root extract may raise its levels), and blood pressure medications (celery seed extract itself may lower blood pressure, so combined use could drop it too far). Celery also carries minor interactions with photosensitizing drugs (sun-exposure sensitivity risk) and acetaminophen (may prolong its effects).
Tart cherry extract has no interactions documented in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 651 individual medications.

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.
