Tart Cherries

especially the Montmorency, have been proven to have the largest concentration -  Melatonin in them. Melatonin is a hormone known to regulate sleep and waking cycles.

Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant and has been shown to effectively raise Glutathione levels in many tissues.

 Glutathione detoxifies our bodies while we sleep. That is why it is important to get at least 7-8 hours of good night sleep when Melatonin is produced and released.

This berry act as powerful antioxidants and also help block the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes causing pain reaction in the body. 

Other compounds in cherries are gallic acid, p-coumaric acid, kaempferol, quercetin, ellagic acid - all of which are potent antioxidants.

Melatonin in Tart Cherry is a powerful antioxidant and truly unique antioxidant. It is more powerful than vitamins C, E and A, because it is soluble in both fat and water and can enter cells that vitamins cannot. 

Melatonin  effectively raise Glutathione levels in many tissues, such as the brain, liver, blood and muscles.

ORAC  of Tart Cherry

Antioxidant capacity of foods is measured in ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) units. The higher the score the better a food may be in its ability to fight oxidants. 

A person needs 3,000 - 5,000 ORAC units a day. Just 3.5 ounces, 100 grams of concentrated cherry juice provide 12,800 ORAC units or just one serving of 1 ounce, 2 tbs will supply 3,757 ORAC, which is more than daily recommended amount.

The bottom line: Nature knows best

We’re best off getting our nutrients from real, whole foods, as opposed to supplements. 

Actually, The most dietary supplements do more harm than good. 

For example, multivitamin supplements, which most people consider to be completely harmless, may interfere with quorom sensing in gut biofilms, cause nutritional imbalances, and increase chronic disease (32, 33).
