Improved Recovery

CherryActive’s high levels of flavonoids, specifically anthocyanins, work to reduce the body’s inflammatory response to intense exercise. Anthocyanins found in Montmorency cherries are thought to be four times more effective than vitamins C and E in antioxidant activity, and have been compared to ibuprofen and aspirin for their anti-inflammatory action. By inhibiting the body's inflammatory response to strenuous physical activity there is less damage done to the worked muscles, less muscle soreness and therefore shorter recovery periods.

Of 150 different flavonoids found in plants, anthocyanins appear to have the greatest antioxidant capacity. CherryActive’s high anthocyanin content helps to reduce the inflammatory insult caused by intensive training and competition, reducing muscle soreness and oxidative stress, thereby improving your recovery.
