What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product is a single-ingredient liquid: wild cherry bark extract. Wild cherry has traditionally been used to support respiratory health, particularly in cough remedies.

The extract is delivered in a base of glycerin and water, with no alcohol despite the liquid form.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: respiratory and digestive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cough, Bronchitis, Sore throat, Diarrhea.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for wild cherry bark extract for any specific health claim. The evidence isn't established in the research we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wild 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.

Wild cherry is generally considered safe in the small amounts found in over-the-counter cough products. However, the plant contains cyanide-forming compounds, and large amounts can be dangerous.

Taking excessive amounts of wild cherry can lead to cyanide toxicity, which may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness — potentially fatal. A documented case involved a woman who consumed about 300 grams of wild cherries steeped in alcohol.

The safety data advises against use while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information. There's no pregnancy data on file.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Wild cherry liquid is generally well tolerated in typical doses, but you need to respect the dose limits because of cyanide risk with large amounts. If you're taking medications metabolized by CYP3A4 (particularly statins or antifungals), check with your pharmacist before starting.

Avoid while breastfeeding.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

In vitro research suggests that wild cherry can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes. Theoretically, wild cherry might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. However, so far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and others.
