How Does It Work?


The sweet cherry (Prunus avium) tree, native to central Europe, has been cultivated since Greek and Roman times. The fruit, which can now be found throughout much of Europe and the coastal United States, has long been associated with a variety of health benefits. While the exact mechanism by which cherry fruit and its key components promotes health remains undetermined, new research continues to support the many benefits of cherry consumption.

Joint Support^†
By disarming free radicals, which can damage healthy cells, flavonoids contribute to the integrity of capillaries, collagen structures, eyes, joints, and arteries.* Research has shown that anthyocyanins and cyanidin flavonoids present in cherry fruit can positively impact joint health.^†1,2

Additionally, a recent study found that consumption of sweet cherries promotes optimal pH balance by maintaining healthy uric acid levels, revealing yet another way in which cherries contribute to joint health.^†1

Antioxidant Support^†
Cherries are a rich source of flavonoids, natural compounds that are most widely recognized for their potent antioxidant activity.^† In fact, anthocyanins flavonoids isolated from cherries have been shown to possess antioxidant capabilities superior to vitamin E.^† This powerful free radical scavenging capacity has broad ranging health implications for the immune, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems.^†

Recent research has shown that compounds in cherry fruit may also modulate pathways through healthy C-reactive protein (CRP) and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations, in addition to healthy serum and urinary urate levels.^†1

Blood Sugar
One of the most exciting new findings regarding cherry fruit consumption is its potential support in the area of blood sugar.^† Researchers recently found that anthocyanins naturally present in sweet cherries support healthy insulin production in pancreatic cells.^† Cherry consumption may, therefore, help maintain healthy insulin and blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.^†3

Freeze-Drying
Freeze-drying (or lyophilization) is a process in which water is removed from a product after it is frozen and placed under a vacuum, allowing the ice to change directly from solid to vapor without passing through a liquid phase.⁴ Freeze-dried fruits retain their original flavor, texture, and nutrients upon rehydration. The process reduces cellular deterioration and increases retained moisture.⁵ Freeze drying helps to ensure that the compounds in the cherries retain their viability and activity levels.⁶

Organic
Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. It is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.⁷

Conclusion
Scientific research is continually validating cherry fruit's numerous health benefits.^† Enzymatic Therapy's True Organics™: Cherry Fruit Extract provides a high-quality and concentrated extract of Prunus avium, a natural source of potent antioxidants.^†
