How it Works
The same phytochemicals, or plant pigments, that give sour cherries their bright red color, also give them anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities that help prevent muscle damage in athletes, fight depression and anxiety, and improve memory and cognition in older adults. Researchers have also found that these phytochemicals, which are known as polyphenols and anthocyanins, and are found in both the flesh and juice of the fruit, can also help enhance glucose metabolism and regulate blood sugar in people with diabetes. Anthocyanins are known to significantly boost insulin production, though it is not yet understood how this happens.

How Much is Enough ?
One tablespoon of concentrated tart cherry extract twice a day (the equivalent of 45 to 60 cherries), or one daily cherry supplement containing 100 mg of anthocyanins.
Benefits were seen in anywhere from 48 hours to a couple of weeks, and appeared to continue long-term. If you’re not sure how to fit tart cherry juice into your diabetic diet, ask your physician or dietitian for advice.
