The Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) originates from Michigan (USA) and is known for its particularly high content of anthocyanins, polyphenols, and natural melatonin. These compounds are highly antioxidant, can reduce oxidative stress, and are frequently cited in connection with regeneration, sleep support, and joint health. Compared to other tart cherry varieties, Montmorency is significantly more nutrient-dense. Due to its natural composition, it is particularly valued in naturopathy and sports nutrition.

Cherry PLUS is used in various areas:

• To support regeneration after physical exertion

Freeze-drying ensures that the delicate polyphenols and anthocyanins are fully preserved. This makes the capsules a particularly effective and stomach-friendly alternative to consuming large quantities of sour cherries fresh.
