HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry Fruit Complex by Sports Research
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
Low disclosure
This softgel contains three active ingredients: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cherry Juice Concentrate, and Tart Cherry Extract. The olive oil and tart cherry extract are the two we have safety and effectiveness data for; the cherry juice concentrate rounds out the blend but isn't individually documented in our monographs.
The capsules also contain gelatin, glycerin, purified water, and beeswax as inactive ingredients — these are the shell and carriers that hold everything together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Tart Cherry Extract is rated possibly effective for athletic performance, which is the most established use in the data we hold. Evidence for its effects on muscle soreness after exercise, attention or focus, cognitive function, or fibromyalgia isn't strong enough to rate reliably.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil has insufficient evidence to rate for the conditions listed — osteoporosis, indigestion, exercise-related respiratory infections, shingles, flu, and osteoarthritis. There's no established effectiveness data in our monograph for this product's intended use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both tart cherry extract and olive oil are generally well tolerated as whole foods and typical amounts. When concentrated into supplements, however, the safety data is thinner, and caution is advised.
The most common side effects from tart cherry extract are abdominal pain, general weakness, stomach upset, and loose stools — a clinical study found that about a quarter of children taking a high dose of concentrate reported belly pain. Olive oil may cause headache or stomach discomfort; one case of acne and one of skin allergic reaction have been reported, and olive pollen can trigger seasonal allergies in sensitive people.
Pregnancy and lactation data show tart cherry extract is likely safe; pregnancy and lactation information for extra virgin olive oil isn't on file.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check in this product. Cherry Juice Concentrate is included but we hold no interaction data for it — mention it to your pharmacist if you want that gap filled.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a straightforward fruit-and-oil blend with no documented medication interactions for the two ingredients we checked. It's marketed for athletic performance, where tart cherry extract shows some promise.
Since the safety data for concentrated forms is limited, talk with your pharmacist before starting — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a food allergy.
