Question 1

What exactly is Montmorency cherry concentrate?

Accepted Answer

It is the result of pressing fresh Montmorency cherries at their prime, without excessive heat, resulting in pure (100% concentrated) syrup-like liquid with protected colour and flavour. Nothing at all is added. The nutrients, including antioxidants, anthocyanins, melatonin and carbohydrates, are naturally occurring.

Question 2

How do CherryActive products differ from other cherry products?

Accepted Answer

CherryActive is the leading brand of products made from 100% Montmorency cherries, backed by an extensive research programme. Unlike other cherry products, we only use certified Montmorency cherries, avoid excessive heat and do not use preservatives.

Question 3

How do I take CherryActive Concentrate?

Accepted Answer

Because it is highly concentrated, we recommend diluting a 30ml serving in 250ml–500ml of water or nutrition shake. Some customers also enjoy it drizzled over natural yogurt, whizzed in a smoothie or even mixed in a cocktail like Cherry Bloody Mary.

Question 4

How do I take CherryActive Capsules?

Accepted Answer

Swallow one to two capsules with water.

Question 5

Does CherryActive need to be kept in the fridge?

Accepted Answer

Yes, apart from the capsules. As we do not add any chemical or other preservatives, all concentrate products should be stored refrigerated – open and unopened. The shelf life is about 12 months (refrigerated). You can also store them in the freezer to preserve their properties for even longer; the concentrate will become very thick but will not freeze solid.

Question 6

Can I drink it hot?

Accepted Answer

While you can mix it with warm water for a soothing evening drink, we recommend avoiding boiling water. Intense heat can degrade the delicate antioxidants and vitamins that make the concentrate so beneficial.

Question 7

How many cherries are in a single serving?

Accepted Answer

A standard 30ml serving typically contains the juice from approximately 100 Montmorency cherries.

Question 8

Why do I sometimes notice sediment in CherryActive?

Accepted Answer

As the cherries are harvested at their peak, during processing some batches may have sediment which settles in the bottle. Variances in taste and colour may also occur. Since CherryActive products contain no artificial colours or sweeteners, these variances may be noticeable.
