Active Edge CherryActive Concentrate (100% concentrated Montmorency cherry juice) - 946ml

This Cherry Active juice concentrate has been of enormous help to me since I was given my first bottle by my helpful sister about three years ago. The concentrate makes up into an absolutely delicious, tart cherry drink, but more importantly, it helps a great deal with my aching limbs.. especially after any sort of exertion.. like going to the shops. I've had fibromyalgia for over 17 years now n have tried all sorts thought to help with the condition. This is the only thing, so far, that has made any sort of consistent positive impact on my Life.Also, if I'm having a particularly restless, fidgetty night, this Cherry Active juice really does help settle both me n my limbs for sleep.A bottle-ful still seems expensive to me, n I use sparingly, but, even though the cost seems high, I wouldn't be without a bottle, with it's dispensing pump bought directly from the Cherry Active website, in my fridge door. I have recommended to others I know with the same conditions.. many of whom are now as enthusiastic as me. I have a helpful doctor n take various medications, but it's marvellous to have something reliable to turn to on a particularly bad day. When the time comes to buy more, I scout around to find the best price, n find I usually buy from Amazon. I Love this Cherry Active juice.

Perfect for when you are feeling rundown and need some extra vit c. Be aware too much of this and your body will tell you it’s had enough! I drink it with hot water and slices of orange/lemon and ginger. I love the strong taste of it and enjoy it as a drink to sip. My children have it in a smaller dose like a shot!

This is one of those products that will work for some people, while others will claim it does nothing at all for them. However the basic science and the fact that so many people use this and find benefits suggest that if you haven't tried it you should at least give it a go.My reasons for trying CherryActive mainly revolved around being a regular long distance runner. I found myself running long distances and feeling full of energy and not remotely out of breath, but finding that muscle soreness was really hampering me. I could run regularly and built up a very good level of fitness, but my legs just couldn't cope. I stumbled across CherryActive because I'd seen someone write that the British Cycling team had been using it. Given their level of success in the Olympics and Tour de France and knowing about Dave Brailsford's quest to find tiny performance improvements in all areas, I thought that there must be something in it.Montmorency cherries are very tart, so you need to dilute the concentrate. The recommended amount to use is 30ml per serving, so you get around 31 servings per bottle. If you think about it, buying sports drinks (which a lot of people think have very limited effectiveness depending on your circumstances) would cost roughly the same for 31 bottles. I would say that you're obviously not going to experience miraculous effects straight away when you begin taking this. I didn't change anything else in my routine or diet when I started using CherryActive so that it would be easier for me to work out if it was beneficial or not. I was running 5 times per week as I was before, and having one 30ml diluted serving of CherryActive before going to bed. Within two weeks I could noticeably feel less soreness before, during and after running. It's hard to quantify the benefit but there was certainly a difference.A few other things to note:- Due to their melatonin content, cherries are known to aid sleep. Montmorency cherries are particularly high in melatonin, so I made sure to consume CherryActive in the evening shortly before going to bed to get the added benefit. Indeed, I am sure that if you're struggling to sleep that is reason alone to buy this.- I did try to find out if I could buy whole Montmorency cherries anywhere, but apparently they are grown mostly in North America and aren't available at any of the supermarkets or grocers I have visited in the UK. One 946ml bottle of Cherry Active contains the juice from over 2900 cherries, so you'd need to eat a lot of them to get the same effect anyway.- If you are buying this to ease muscle soreness, you benefit from the extremely highly anti-inflammatory properties of the cherries. Clearly there are lot of other foods that have this property, such as almonds, turmeric, oily fish, berries, ginger, garlic and many more. Eating lots of these foods is going to benefit you, as well as avoiding sugars, processed foods and others that are inflammatory.- Montmorency cherries are also a good antioxidant, which helps prevent cancers, heart disease and arthritis among other things. Again this is a positive benefit of CherryActive, but there are of course many other foods with this property.- The best before date was roughly 10 months away when I purchased.Details from the label on the bottle:Ingredients: 100% concentrated Montmorency cherry juice.

I have purchased this from various sellers. Only once it didn’t arrive but I was refunded quickly.Helps me with joint pain and sleep. I will buy again.

My wife has found this helpful o help sleep, though it does not always seem to do the trick. When my wife does sleep, she does seem to get a deeper sleep from it. We would definitely recommend.

I purchased this Cherry Active juice after almost choking to death on a very large tablet supposedly to help with Gout. Rather have Gout than that phew!I have had attacks of Gout now for quite a few years and have found the attacks had become more and more frequent. People with Gout will understand how painful and debilitating an attack is, and how non sufferers laugh it off, old wives tales and all that rot.I have tried lots of tablets, different diet tips, prescription medication etc.The attacks were still severe and becoming more frequent.I had tried juice drinks before of one sort or other which did no good at all but I thought I would try this one based on previous reviews. Yes - some good some bad, but everyone is different and Gout is not as straight forward as lots of people may think.I have taken this juice every day in a glass of water as recommended, watched my diet for the trigger foods, and have been attack free this last month.I have just received my second bottle, so fingers crossed.

I always have a bottle in the fridge for when my gout flares up. For me, twice a day for two or three days is all it takes for a "miracle cure". I can't say that it improves my sleep (as others claim) but that's because of BPE.

Bottle had a small crack in it, and the delivery driver just dropped the package by my front door and didn't even knock.
