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.
