We continually subject our juices to third-party studies and the science has proven that cheribundi™ tart cherry juice has real health benefits. See for yourself:

- A 2008 study published within the Journal of Nutrition titled “Tart Cherry Juice Decreases Oxidative Stress in Healthy Older Men and Women” demonstrated that the consumption of two, 8 oz. bottles of cheribundi™ Tru Cherry* juice a day markedly increased the ability to counteract oxidative challenge compared to the placebo treatment. Of the 12 patients in the study, those drinking cheribundi™ Tru Cherry* also demonstrated reduced basal urinary excretion of oxidized nucleic acids compared to the placebo group.

- A 2006 study published within the British Journal of Sports Medicine titled “Efficacy of Tart Cherry Juice Blend in Preventing the Symptoms of Muscle Damage” was performed on 14 male student athletes who drank 12 oz of cheribundi™ Tru Cherry* twice a day showed significantly less strength loss (only 3% loss of capacity of eccentric elbow flexion contractions) versus those drinking a placebo (24% loss). Those drinking the juice also reported significantly less muscle related pain as opposed to those drinking the placebo (2.4 for cherry juice vs. 3.2 for placebo). (Download the study).

- A 2009 published within the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports titled “Efficacy of Tart Cherry Juice in Reducing Muscle Damage, Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Following Marathon Running” was performed on 20 runners in the London Marathon who drank 8 oz of cheribundi™ Tru Cherry* juice twice a day. The study participants were tested for antioxidant, muscle damage, inflammation and oxidative stress markers. (Download the study).

• Runners consuming cheribundi™ Tru Cherry* Juice had an 11% increase in their total antioxidant status (TAS) vs. the placebo group.
• Tru Cherry* juice treatment had more rapid recovery of strength versus placebo.
• The inflammation marker interluken-6 (IL-6) was 49% lower in Tru Cherry* juice treatment versus placebo.
• The inflammation marker c-reactive protein (CRP) was 34% lower in Tru Cherry* juice treatment versus placebo.
• The inflammation marker of uric acid levels were unchanged in the Tru Cherry* juice group but elevated in the placebo group.
• The oxidative stress marker thiobarbituirc reactive substances (TBARS)
  remained unchanged in the group drinking Tru Cherry* juice but was elevated in the placebo group.

- A pilot study on 15 subjects with insomnia published in the Journal of Medicinal Food under the title “Effects of a Tart Cherry Juice Blend on Sleep in Older Adults With Insomnia: A Pilot Study”. Subjects were given two, 8 oz bottles of cheribundi™ Tru Cherry* juice for the duration of the study and demonstrated significant improvements in sleep latency, wake after sleep onset and insomnia severity index compared to the placebo group. (Download the study).

- When independently tested against 32 other “healthy” beverages, cheribundi™ Tru Cherry* juice was found to have the highest total ORAC unit capacity amongst all samples. Actually, cheribundi™ was found to be at least 1.4 times higher than the next highest product and over 24 times higher than the weakest product. The competitive sample included juices, teas, waters, and other “healthy” antioxidant drinks and juices from fruits like pomegranate, açaí, orange, grape, goji, blueberry, mangosteen, and other tart cherry juices.
