According to researchers at Michigan State University, tart cherries contain anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which inhibit the enzymes Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, and prevent inflammation in the body. Further investigations revealed that daily consumption of tart cherries has the potential to reduce the pain associated with inflammation, arthritis and gout. The natural compounds in tart cherries have similar activity as aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen. Tart cherries may be 10 times stronger than aspirin or ibuprofen in relieving arthritic pain, according to medical research.

Is the whole cherry more valuable than the sum if its parts?

The answer is yes. Dr. Russel Reiter, a neuronendocrinologist with the University of Texas Health Science Center, believes that the pain relief may not come from a specific antioxidant in the cherries, but may come from the synergistic effect of all the natural compounds in cherries. So with the increasing popularity of tart cherries, what should consumers look for in selecting tart cherry products? For best results, the Cherry Marketing Institute, a non-profit organization, recommends that you check the product label to make sure that it contains significant quantities of Montmorency tart cherries.

One product that is made from tart cherries and delivers significant amounts of Montmorency tart cherry is Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry dietary supplement.
