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.
What’s inside
Partial disclosure
This powder contains 2 active ingredients: tart cherry juice powder and total protein. The tart cherry provides the fruit's natural compounds, while the protein adds to the supplement's nutritional profile.
It also contains gum arabic and silica as inactive ingredients to help with texture and flow.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Tart cherry juice powder is possibly effective for athletic performance based on the evidence we hold. For attention, thinking, muscle soreness after exercise, respiratory infections after exercise, and fibromyalgia, the evidence isn't strong enough to rate it one way or the other — there simply isn't reliable data yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tart cherry is generally well tolerated as whole fruit, but concentrated supplements are less studied, so caution is advised. The most common side effects from the concentrate are abdominal pain, gastrointestinal upset, loose stools, and fatigue.
In one clinical study, nearly 3 in 10 children who took the concentrate twice daily reported belly pain. One rare case of a skin reaction possibly linked to cherry allergy has been reported.
During pregnancy and lactation, tart cherry is rated likely safe, though concentrated supplements lack the safety data that whole fruit has.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the tart cherry juice powder ingredient we could check. We hold no interaction data for Total Protein, so check your specific medications with the tool on this page before you start.
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.
If you're an athlete looking at recovery or performance, this might be worth a try. Start with a dose on the lower end to see how your stomach handles it — GI upset is the most common complaint.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist first if you take any medications or have a history of cherry allergy.
