The concentrate is made from the fruit of the Montmorency tart cherry variety and has a concentration ratio of 50:1. The daily dose is one capsule. The bottle contains 90 capsules, or 90 daily doses, which with regular use last about three months. The capsule shell is plant-based and, according to the manufacturer, the product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The product is made by Now Foods, an American family-owned company founded in 1968, and the country of origin is the United States.

What is the Montmorency tart cherry?

Montmorency is a variety of sour cherry grown mainly in the United States, Canada and France. Unlike sweet cherries, tart cherries are bright red, juicy and distinctly sour, which is why they are often used in juices, jams and baking. The bright red colour of the fruit comes from anthocyanins – natural plant pigments that are also found in many other red and blue berries and fruits. When the concentrate is made, most of the water is removed from the fruit, so a small amount of concentrate corresponds to a larger amount of fresh fruit. The 50:1 ratio shows how many parts of raw material are used to obtain one part of concentrate.

How to use?

The manufacturer recommends taking 1 capsule a day. One capsule is the whole daily dose, so one bottle lasts 90 days. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you also use other food supplements containing cherry or other berry concentrates, take the total daily amount into account. After opening, keep the bottle in a cool, dry place and close the lid tightly after each use.
