HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry Juice by Triquetra

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 2 active ingredients.

This powder has two active ingredients: tart cherry juice powder and total protein. The tart cherry provides the anthocyanins and other compounds in tart cherries; the protein adds amino acids.

Two inactive ingredients — gum arabic and silica — help with texture and stability.

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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: uric acid support and exercise recovery performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gout, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Athletic performance, Joint health, Muscle recovery, Inflammation.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Sour Cherry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Sour Cherry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Gout.

Tart cherry juice is possibly effective for athletic performance. For ADHD, cognitive function, muscle soreness after exercise, respiratory infections after exercise, and fibromyalgia, the evidence isn't established in the data we hold — there's not enough reliable research to say whether it works for those uses.

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 juice is generally well tolerated as whole fruit or juice, but concentrated supplements have less safety data, so use caution. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, gastrointestinal upset, and loose stools — a small number of trial participants and case reports have noted these.

One case of a possible allergic skin reaction has been reported. Because concentrated supplements lack long-term safety information, talk with your pharmacist if you have questions about regular use.

Tart cherry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help with athletic performance. It's generally well tolerated, but concentrated tart cherry supplements haven't been studied as thoroughly as whole fruit.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have stomach sensitivities, a conversation with your pharmacist first is a smart move.

Tart Cherry Juice by Triquetra: Common Questions

Does Tart Cherry Juice by Triquetra interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Tart Cherry Juice. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tart Cherry Juice contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 this actually help with exercise recovery and sore muscles?
The evidence for tart cherry and exercise-induced muscle soreness isn't established in our data — there's just not enough reliable research yet to say yes or no. Tart cherry is possibly effective for athletic performance overall, though.
What are the most common side effects?
Abdominal pain, gastrointestinal upset, and loose stools show up most often. One allergic skin reaction has been reported. If you have a sensitive stomach, start cautiously and talk with your pharmacist.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Tart cherry is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. If you're pregnant or nursing and want to use this product, your doctor or pharmacist can give you personalized advice.
Why does the label say to use caution when tart cherry is a food?
Whole tart cherries as food have good safety data. This product is a concentrated powder supplement, which hasn't been studied as long or as thoroughly, so the caution is about that concentrated form specifically.
What's the Total Protein in here for?
It adds amino acids to the mix, likely to support muscle recovery alongside the tart cherry. We don't have interaction data on file for it, so it's worth flagging to your pharmacist if you're on medications.
