University scientists have determined that cherries are rich in naturally occurring phyto-nutrients and deliver a multitude of health benefits


Powerful Antioxidants: Cherries have been shown to contain powerful antioxidants. Research is on-going into the potential health benefits of cherries and their role in fighting disease.
Promoting Active Lifestyle: Studies have shown that cherries are a significant source of anthocyanins, which have been shown to inhibit certain cyclooxygenase enzymes produced by the body to signal pain and inflammation.
Sleep Regulators: Studies have shown that cherries contain a significant amount of melatonin, a naturally occurring phyto-nutrient that helps the body regulate circadian rhythms and maintain consistent sleep patterns.
