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 as a glycerite liquid extract (a plant extract preserved in glycerin). Glycerin and strawberry flavor are inactive ingredients that make it drinkable and flavored.

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 hold no effectiveness ratings for wild cherry bark in our data. The facts don't show what this product is intended to treat or how well it works, so we can't speak to that here.

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 considered safe in the small amounts found in over-the-counter cough products, but it contains compounds that can produce cyanide, and large doses are dangerous. Taking too much can cause cyanide toxicity — a case report describes a woman who drank about 300 grams of wild cherries steeped in alcohol and developed severe poisoning with headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, difficulty breathing, coma, and loss of muscle tone.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
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: 646 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 you take this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any drugs that are metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme — a large group that includes cholesterol medications, antifungals, and many others. Wild cherry may slow how your liver clears these drugs, raising their levels.

This is a Moderate severity interaction, and it hasn't been proven in humans yet, but it's worth confirming your medications are in the clear.

Wild Cherry Bark Glycerite Liquid Extract1 drug type · 645 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.
