“I am so excited about Cherry Juice! I have suffered with hip pain and was taking over-the-counter arthritis medication. I also was trying to exercise and diet to see if I could get some relief from the pain. My cousin who has been listening to my complaints suggested that I try drinking cherry juice because his friend had good results. With my cousin’s insistence I started taking 2 tablespoons (about 1 ounce) a day of the concentrated cherry juice. I’m just amazed. For the first time in weeks, I have slept through the night and haven’t taken any medication. It’s a miracle! This is unreal! I am going to tell everyone I know who suffers from pain about cherry juice concentrate. Thank you so much for this product and for all the time you have spent researching this.”

“In August, I started taking tart cherry juice for the few aches I have and I wanted to tell you how great it is. I had read about a study a couple of years ago, but didn’t do anything about it until recently. I decided to try it and I’m so glad I did.”
Barbara from Ohio

The good news about the health benefits of cherries continues to increase. According to ongoing research, Montmorency tart cherries are a rich source of antioxidants, which can help fight cancer and heart disease. In addition, there are beneficial compounds in Montmorency tart cherries that help relieve the pain of arthritis and gout. Other fruits and vegetable do not have the pain relief of tart cherries. While the research on the exact mechanisms that give the pain relief is ongoing, many consumers are discovering that tart cherry juice and other cherry products can stave off pain.
Research also shows that tart cherries are a rich source of powerful antioxidants, including kaempferol, quercetin and melatonin. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant considered more potent that vitamins C, E, and A, because it is soluble both in fat and water.
