Recent studies confirm that Red Tart Cherries reduce inflammation, pain and offer protection against neurodegenerative diseases.

As a follow-up to several earlier studies, researchers have confirmed that Red Tart Cherries (Prunus cerasus) offer benefits for patients with autoimmune neurodegenerative and connective tissue disease, particularly rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. Studies show that Red Tart Cherries reduce pain and inflammation and may also offer protection against cancer. These effects are caused by plant phytochemical known as anthocyanins.

The Evidence

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore discovered that the anthocyanins in Red Tart Cherries effectively reduced painful inflammation in an experimental animal model comparable to that obtained with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin. The researchers believe that this effect may stem from the ability of anthocyanins to reduce oxidative stress, which is a major cause of autoimmune disease.

In a related study, researchers demonstrated that Red Tart Cherry anthocyanins may help prevent muscle pain related to intensive exercise. Young men who incorporated Red Tart Cherry juice into their daily diet experienced decreased symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage. In addition, cherries may offer protection against gout, a painful inflammatory condition caused by urate crystals infiltrating joint fluid.

Researchers believe that the pain relief associated with cherries may not come from a specific antioxidant in the cherries, but from the synergistic effect of all the natural compounds found in cherries. The skin of the cherries holds most of the essential antioxidants vital to their health benefits.

Red Tart Cherries are also one of the only natural food sources of the hormone melatonin, which is a potent antioxidant with immunomodulating properties. In addition, tart cherries contain phenolic compounds that protect against neurodegeneration. Red Tart Cherries are also rich in vitamin C, and they provide potassium, magnesium, iron, folate, and fibre.
