100% Pure Concentrated Tart Cherry Juice, 750ml | $25
Recognized by nutritionists as the #1 best juice to drink to improve health, research shows adding Tart Cherry Concentrate to your diet can:
- Improve sleep: Tart cherries are one of the best food sources of the antioxidant melatonin, which is known for its ability to help regulate our body’s internal clock and encourage restful sleep. Consuming tart cherry juice has been shown to increase circulating levels of melatonin in the bloodstream, promoting a more restful night’s sleep.
- Aid in sports recovery: Studies have shown that tart cherries may speed up recovery after an intense workout by reducing muscle soreness and damage. When athletes drank tart cherry juice before and after an intense training session, they experienced less post-exercise muscle pain than those who did not drink the juice.
- Improve cognitive performance: A research team from the University of Delaware claims that the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties in tart cherries may actually improve cognitive abilities.
