The tart cherry capsules sound like a good idea. But I’ve always read that eating the actual fruit or drinking tart cherry juice has more benefits as an anti-inflammatory! Good luck and let us know how it works for you!

This study seems to say tart cherry juice has some health benefits.

I'm currently drinking apple juice by the gallon every few days. I don't know why I started drinking apple juice but it is in the refrigerator. I drink it out of the bottle because I'm the only one drinking it. It is like my body is subconsciously telling me to drink more of it every few hours. It is 50% juice and it says "light" on the bottle with no added sugars. I guess my body thinks it is beneficial but I don't know if it is good or not.

"In conclusion, despite that all mechanisms by which apple juice exerts its biological activities to prevent the development of chronic diseases are yet to be fully understood, studies overall suggest that apple juice consumption has positive effects on markers related to cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and probably others. The beneficial effects of apple juice are more apparent with cloudy apple juice than clear apple juice, probably due to its lower nutritional density. It is likely that whole apples are superior to apple juice. However, apple juice may constitute a convenient and easy way to increase fruit consumption and improve overall quality of the diet when consumed in moderation."

I will look for tart cherry juice and buy it instead of apple juice. I will see how my body likes tart cherry juice instead of apple juice. I'm starting to think I don't want to drink apple juice anymore after I finish this gallon.

Do they sell tart cherry juice at the grocery store? That is the extent of my nutritional knowledge.
