HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tart Cherry Ultra Capsules by Nature's Way
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 one active ingredient: sour cherry. The capsule itself also contains inactive ingredients — hypromellose, magnesium stearate, cellulose, and silica — which are fillers and binders that help hold the supplement together.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence on sour cherry is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for athletic performance.
For everything else on the label — ADHD, cognitive function, muscle soreness after exercise, respiratory infections after exercise, and fibromyalgia — there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether it works. That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means the studies aren't strong enough yet to make a call.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sour cherry is generally well tolerated when you eat it as whole fruit or juice. As a concentrated supplement in capsule form, though, it's less studied, so we'd caution you to watch how your body responds.
The most common side effects reported are abdominal pain, loose stools, and general gastrointestinal upset. A small number of people in trials reported these symptoms — about 29% of children in one study taking the juice concentrate twice daily for two weeks had abdominal pain.
One person had a possible allergic skin reaction after drinking a tart cherry and apple juice blend. If you have a known cherry allergy, talk to us before you start.
Meds to double-check

The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
