Each capsule contains 500mg of Montmorency tart cherry extract (Prunus cerasus, fruit) at a 10:1 concentration, equivalent to 5,000mg of fresh tart cherry per capsule (QCE). The recommended daily serving is 2 capsules delivering 1,000mg of extract and 10,000mg QCE per day. Rich in naturally occurring anthocyanins and flavonoids. No added sugar. 

Understanding the 10:1 Concentration and QCE

A 10:1 extract ratio means 10 parts of raw Montmorency tart cherry fruit are used to produce 1 part of concentrated extract. Each 500mg capsule represents the concentrated phytonutrient content of 5,000mg of fresh tart cherry fruit. At the recommended dose of 2 capsules per day, the daily serving delivers 1,000mg of extract equivalent to 10,000mg of fresh Montmorency tart cherry fruit.

QCE (Quantity Crude Equivalent) is the Health Canada standardized term for expressing the equivalent raw plant material represented by a concentrated extract.

Why Montmorency Tart Cherry

Montmorency (Prunus cerasus) is the most widely studied variety of tart cherry and is recognized for its exceptionally high anthocyanin content compared to sweet cherry varieties and other tart cherry cultivars. Anthocyanins are the flavonoid pigments responsible for the deep red colour of tart cherries and are potent antioxidant compounds. Montmorency tart cherry is one of the richest natural sources of anthocyanins among commonly consumed fruits.

Capsule vs. Tart Cherry Juice

Tart cherry juice products contain natural and sometimes added sugar, require refrigeration, and deliver variable phytonutrient content per serving. This concentrated extract capsule delivers a precise, consistent dose of Montmorency tart cherry phytonutrients with no added sugar, no refrigeration required, and no caloric load from juice. Two capsules per day deliver the equivalent of 10,000mg of fresh tart cherry fruit.

Clinical Research

Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) supplementation accelerates recovery from exercise induced muscle damage in males

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2010

This randomized, placebo controlled trial gave male participants Montmorency tart cherry juice twice daily for 8 days surrounding a marathon race. The study found that tart cherry supplementation significantly reduced markers of oxidative stress and muscle damage, and accelerated recovery of muscle strength compared to placebo. The mechanism identified was the high anthocyanin and antioxidant content of Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus cerasus)

Anthocyanins and their role as antioxidants in Montmorency tart cherry

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2001

This study characterized the anthocyanin profile of Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) and measured its antioxidant capacity. The research identified cyanidin-3-glucosylrutinoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside as the primary anthocyanins in Montmorency tart cherry and demonstrated that these compounds have potent antioxidant activity comparable to vitamin E and vitamin C. The study confirmed Montmorency as one of the richest natural sources of anthocyanins among commonly consumed fruits, directly supporting its licensed use as a source of antioxidants

Tart cherry juice reduces serum urate in overweight and obese adults

Journal of Functional Foods, 2018

This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of Montmorency tart cherry juice on serum urate levels in overweight and obese adults. The study found that daily tart cherry consumption significantly reduced serum uric acid levels compared to placebo, with the effect attributed to the anthocyanin and polyphenol antioxidant content of Montmorency tart cherry. The findings support the antioxidant and metabolic health benefits of Prunus cerasus
