HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Cherry Bark by TerraVita

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
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 contains one active ingredient: Wild Cherry Bark Glycerite Liquid Extract. The inactive ingredient is glycerin, which is the liquid base.

That's it — a single-ingredient supplement in glycerin 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

This is a single-ingredient Wild Cherry product and its label doesn't state a use — see Wild Cherry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for this product. The facts we hold don't include evidence of whether or how well it works for any condition.

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 bark is generally considered safe in the small amounts found in commercial cough products. However, this plant contains compounds that break down into cyanide in your body, so large amounts carry real risk.

Taking too much can cause cyanide poisoning, which can be fatal — in one reported case, a person who drank about 300 grams of wild cherries steeped in alcohol developed severe symptoms including headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, difficulty breathing, and eventually coma. Because of the cyanide-producing compounds and lack of established safety limits, the data advises against use while breastfeeding, and recommends caution overall.

If you're pregnant, there isn't enough information to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Wild Cherry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 644 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any medications you take that are broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 — this is a moderate interaction, and the list includes cholesterol drugs like lovastatin and antifungal medications like ketoconazole and itraconazole, among many others. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact drugs before you start.

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.

This product is a single-ingredient liquid extract that hasn't been studied for effectiveness in our data. Before you start it, check your medications against the 633 drugs that may interact with wild cherry through the CYP3A4 pathway — this is especially important if you take cholesterol or antifungal medications.

Because wild cherry contains cyanide-forming compounds, stick to small amounts and avoid it while breastfeeding. Run your prescription list through our checker, then talk to your pharmacist.

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.

Wild Cherry Bark by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Wild Cherry Bark by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Cherry Bark has a known interaction with 643 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wild Cherry Bark contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
What is wild cherry bark used for?
Traditionally it's used in small amounts in cough products, but we don't have effectiveness data on file for this particular extract.
Is it safe to take large amounts?
No. Wild cherry contains compounds that your body can convert to cyanide, and taking large amounts has caused severe poisoning, including one reported case that led to coma. Stick to small amounts, and this product comes as a concentrated extract — so be especially careful with dosing.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know it's safe, and because of the cyanide-producing compounds, it's better to skip it while breastfeeding.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for your situation.
Does this product have fillers?
The only inactive ingredient listed is glycerin, which is the liquid base for the extract. There are no other fillers.
