Hi, Dr. Meredith Warner here -

I take a Tart Cherry extract every day. It’s a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which makes it great for promoting general wellness. Tart cherries have long been considered a “folk” remedy for inflammatory conditions such as gout or arthritis, and now researchers are putting it to the test.

Researchers have tested different types of tart cherries - from the fruit itself to juice, supplements, and more. These studies are generally small but the results have been promising. The evidence surrounding the effectiveness of tart cherry in fighting inflammatory pain disorders is growing.

Tart cherries contain compounds that both block pain signals and reduce inflammation. This means that they can tackle the pain from arthritis on two fronts. They can relieve inflammation associated with arthritis, but also block pain signaling from your inflamed joints, reducing the sensation of pain alongside reducing inflammation.

These positive characteristics of tart cherries are credited to anthocyanins – plant pigments that have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These pigments are found in many dark-colored or deeply pigmented fruits, such as blueberries, raspberries, and more. Tart cherries have some of the highest levels of anthocyanins, which is why they are so effective in reducing pain.

Tart cherries have long been thought to be effective against osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is generally more receptive to tart cherry. Osteoarthritis is usually age-related but can be caused by injuries. Most commonly it is due to chronic inflammation in the body. It’s different from rheumatoid arthritis, which is a highly inflammatory, autoimmune disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks healthy cells in the joints and other areas of the body.
