Side-Effects of Cherry

Ayurvedic doctors sometimes don’t focus on the side effects of cherry extract because they believe in its health benefits. However, cherries can cause some problems:

  • They might worsen kidney issues in people with chronic kidney disease, potentially leading to kidney failure.
  • Cherries contain a protein that can trigger allergies in some people.

If you have any negative reactions after using cherry extract, make sure to contact your Ayurvedic doctor right away. They can help you manage any issues that arise.
