Montmorency tart cherry concentrates anthocyanins and natural melatonin precursors. Well-evidenced for sleep, muscle soreness, and uric acid reduction.
Tart cherry significantly elevated nighttime melatonin and improved sleep duration, efficiency, and onset latency vs placebo.
Tart cherry significantly preserved muscle function, reduced inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP), and reduced post-race oxidative stress vs placebo.
Tart cherry consumption significantly reduced serum uric acid and increased urinary uric acid excretion within hours, relevant for gout management.
We prioritize randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses over single observational studies. Animal and in-vitro data are listed as "mechanistic", they suggest direction, not human effect size.
We don't cherry-pick favourable studies, omit conflicting evidence, or cite industry-funded trials without flagging the conflict of interest where known.
The research is one thing, what to take, at what dose, paired with what, is another. We compose stacks that turn the evidence into a daily routine.
Studies referenced are real published research. Summaries are paraphrased for accessibility, for exact methods and full text, click through to PubMed. Educational use only, not medical advice. Consult a qualified clinician before starting any new supplement.
