  5. CherryActive Concentrate has a very high antioxidant content. A single 30ml shot contains greater antioxidants than found in 23 average portions of fruit and veg (8260 ORAC units).Antioxidants mop up harmful compounds called Free Radicals, which are produced in abundance during endurance sports, like running.
  6. CherryActive’s antioxidants can help maintain a healthy immune system, keeping colds at bay.
  7. CherryActive Concentrate contains naturally-occurring compounds called Anthocyanins, known to have powerful anti-inflammatory effects. As well as reduced muscle soreness, these compounds can help reduce aches in knees and joints after a hard run and help speed recovery from sprains and strains.
  8. CherryActive won Best Supplement in the Natural Lifestyle Awards 2009.
  9. Five a Day! CherryActive is made from 100% Montmorency cherries – a 30ml shot counts as one of your fruit and veg portions.
  10. CherryActive Concentrate also contains significant quantities of naturally-occurring Melatonin, the hormone that helps us regulate sleep cycles. Getting a good night’s sleep can help our muscles recover well and wake up fresh and ready to hit the paths again.
