Great question. The short answer is that you should drink 8oz of tart cherry juice a day.

 

What makes tart cherries so great?

Enjoy 8oz of Cheribundi tart cherry juice every day for at least a week and you may start to feel the cumulative benefits of this antioxidant-rich superfruit. The tart cherry's high antioxidant levels fuel your both with anthocyanins, plant compounds that give tart cherries in particular their deep red color and help provide their amazing benefits.

Over time, these beneficial compounds take effect, helping to reduce inflammation by up to 49% and offer up to 90 additional minutes of sleep a night. Your muscles will be less sore after workouts from reduced muscle inflammation, you’ll sleep better and easier thanks to tart cherries' naturally occurring melatonin, and you’ll recover faster.

 

How much tart cherry juice should I drink each day?

While 8 oz of tart cherry juice daily is the amount recommended by scientific studies and sports dietitians alike, the dosage can range a little depending on how active your lifestyle is. Most studies that have been conducted concentrate on people consuming between 8 and 16oz a day. For a regular fitness-minded person, 8 oz of tart cherry juice daily is perfect for helping to reduce sore muscles. For athletes doing heavier daily training or marathon training, 16oz is suggested per day to help combat the extra exertion. 

What's the science behind tart cherry juice?

Over 20 years of studies have been done to help show that tart cherry juice has natural benefits when added to your daily routine.

  • 2009 study in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports tested runners in the London Marathon who consumed 8oz of tart cherry juice a day, and saw an 11% increase in their overall antioxidant status and 49% less inflammation.
  • In a 2006 study by the British Journal of Sports Medicine, 14 male student athletes drank 12oz of Cheribundi Tart Cherry twice a day and showed significantly less strength loss (only 3% loss of capacity of eccentric elbow exion contractions) versus those drinking a placebo (24% loss).
  • A study in July 2017 noted that in evaluating tart cherry juice, “Timing and dosage vary widely, but most studies use 8 to 12 ounces (1oz if in concentrate form) twice a day.”
