100% Pure cherry juice is a delightfully refreshing drink, with no added sugars or preservatives. A daily 50ml-100ml serving may assist with sleep, gout, joint pain and inflammation, among other things.
For many years our family have noticed the health benefits of cherries. At the start of each season, our sleeping would significantly improve but we would then slip back into our old routines of restless nights when the season finished. We had to find a way to make cherries available all year round, so we began our research into cherry juice and all the other health benefits of cherries.
Inflammation & Pain Relief
Cherries contain anthocyanins, which have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research conducted at Michigan State University found “the anthocyanins that make cherries red could also help relieve pain more effectively than aspirin”.
Research shows that sweet cherries grown in NZ are a natural source of melatonin. This hormone is necessary for not just sending you to sleep, but also helping you stay asleep.
Reduction in Gout & Arthritis
Research suggests cherries may help reduce Gout attacks by reducing uric acid levels and Osteoarthritis by working directly on inflammation, through the positive effects of anthocyanins. A study by the Boston University Medical Campus found that “Cherry intake was associated with a 50 per cent lower risk of gout flares over a 48-hour period”.
