“Montmorency cherries may ease arthritis-related inflammation”
- Arthritis Research UK
People with arthritis may benefit from eating plenty of Montmorency cherries, according to US scientists. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University studied 20 women, aged 40 to 70, with inflammatory osteoarthritis. Participants were asked to drink cherry juice twice a day for three weeks.
Analysis revealed that women who consumed the juice benefited from significant reductions in levels of inflammatory markers. The improvements were particularly noticeable in those women whose levels of inflammation were highest at the start of the three-week period. It is thought that Montmorency cherries' effects on inflammation may be due to their antioxidant compounds, called anthocyanins.
Presenting their findings at a conference of the American College of Sports Medicine in California, the study authors claimed that the fruits may have the highest anti-inflammatory content of any food, and that they may therefore help to reduce chronic inflammation in people with arthritis and other forms of joint pain. Principal study investigator Dr Kerry Kuehl said: "It's promising that Montmorency cherries can help, without the possible side-effects often associated with arthritis medications.
"I'm intrigued by the potential for a real food to offer such a powerful anti-inflammatory benefit - especially for active adults."
A spokesman for Arthritis Research UK said previous small studies had also shown that Montmorency cherries could reduce inflammation, but further published evidence was needed to back up such claims.

I have been taking 2 tablespoons of CherryActive with sparkling water everyday for just over 2 weeks. My husband puts it in his home made smoothies. We are both in our mid 50s. The aches in my joints has almost completely disappeared. I feel like a different woman! I can't recommend it highly enough.

B Archer
Can't do without this product. When I don't have my daily dose, I really feel it in my joints. It really works.
Bunty
I was having a massive flare-up of arthritis, which l have in most joints. My son researched the net for solutions and recommended that l try concentrated cherry juice. I have been taking the recommended amount each day (30ml) in a regular size glass of water and am astonished at the difference it has made. I have spent so much money over the years trying different remedies, buying joint supports etc. but nothing has worked like this cherry concentrate.
Very impressed with this product. I suffer with arthritis in my thumbs since taking this product i can honestly say it has gone.
