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 powder. Wild cherry has a long history in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in cough and respiratory preparations, though the strength of scientific evidence supporting those uses isn't established in our data.

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 hold effectiveness ratings for wild cherry in our data, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows about how well it works for any particular use.

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 compounds that can form cyanide in your body, especially in large doses.

Taking large amounts of wild cherry can cause cyanide poisoning—a serious, potentially fatal condition—with symptoms including headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, difficulty breathing, and loss of consciousness. One documented case involved a woman who consumed about 300 grams of wild cherries steeped in alcohol and was hospitalized with severe poisoning.

The safety data advises against use while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether wild cherry passes into breast milk or could harm a nursing infant. There is no pregnancy rating on file for this ingredient, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant.

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.

Before taking this product, check whether you take any medications metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP3A4—a group that includes cholesterol drugs like lovastatin and antifungals like ketoconazole. In lab studies, wild cherry may slow how quickly your liver processes these drugs, though this interaction hasn't been confirmed in patients.

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 bark powder is traditionally used in cough products and is generally well tolerated in small amounts. The main safety concern is dose: large amounts can cause cyanide toxicity, which is serious.

There's also a theoretical interaction with a large group of medications metabolized by your liver. Check your exact medications with the tool on this page, and talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any regular medications.

Wild Cherry, Powder1 drug type · 643 drugs

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 Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Wild Cherry Bark Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Cherry Bark Powder 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 Powder 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.
Is wild cherry bark powder safe to take every day?
The data we hold says wild cherry is generally safe in small amounts, the way it's used in commercial cough products. Large amounts, however, carry a real risk of cyanide toxicity. Without knowing your dose or how long you plan to take it, we can't say whether daily use is right for you—talk to your pharmacist about your specific situation.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough safety data on file for wild cherry in pregnancy to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's appropriate for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it because there isn't enough information about whether wild cherry passes into breast milk or could affect your baby. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before use.
What is wild cherry traditionally used for?
Wild cherry has a long history in herbal medicine for respiratory and cough support, and it's an ingredient in many over-the-counter cough products. We don't have effectiveness data for this product on file to tell you how well it works.
What happens if I take too much?
Large amounts of wild cherry can cause cyanide poisoning, a serious condition. Symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, trouble breathing, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness. One documented case involved a woman who became dangerously ill after consuming about 300 grams. Stick to recommended doses and talk to your pharmacist about what's safe for you.
Does this interact with blood pressure or heart medications?
Many heart and blood pressure drugs are processed by the same liver enzyme (CYP3A4) that wild cherry may affect. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact medications—that's the only way to know whether there's a real concern for your specific drugs.
