In particular, the Montmorency tart cherry is a leader among foods that possess anti-inflammatory properties.

When pain from arthritis and gout strikes the body, most people don’t care how their medicine works, as long as it does work. What many pain sufferers take for granted is the complex chemical process that allows their pain medication to work. It’s the same chemistry of the cherry juice contents that is making tart cherries and cherry juice concentrates the preferred “medication” for a booming generation of pain sufferers.

It is suspected that the high levels of antioxidants found in cherries, particularly melatonin, provide a protective function and prevent unwanted symptoms. This may make cherry juice and concentrated cherry products superior to over the-counter pain relief because cherries block pain in the same manner and reduce potential side-effects.
