8 Reasons Tart Cherry Fans Are Switching to Orchard Tart Cherry

1No more glass after glass

Most of us found tart cherry through the juice. It works its way into the routine, and then the routine starts to wear on you: the fridge space, the pucker, the grocery bill, and the fruit sugar that comes along with every glass.

Orchard Tart Cherry is two capsules a day. No measuring, no fridge, and no sugar in the capsules. Plenty of our reviewers made exactly this switch.

“Having gone to a keto diet, I could no longer take tart cherry juice because of the number of carbs. I hated that I could no longer keep up with this protocol. Then I discovered the tart cherry capsules! Yay! Thanks, Hippie Farms!”

2The good part of the cherry is in the skin

You already judge fruit this way. The color is where the good stuff lives: blueberries, red grapes, the apple peel your mom told you not to cut off. Tart cherries work the same way.

When researchers took Montmorency cherries apart and measured each section, they found 36.5 mg of anthocyanins per 100 g in the skin and none in the flesh (Chaovanalikit and Wrolstad, 2004). So we start with the skin. Our cherry is CherryPURE tart cherry skin powder from USA-grown Montmorency cherries, the deep red part of the fruit.

3Heat never touches our cherries

Our cherries are picked, chilled fast and gently freeze-dried. Heat never touches them during processing, which helps protect the anthocyanins packed into those skins. Our farmers are craftsmen. Keeping heat away is part of the craft.

It also means you're taking the same powder the researchers used. In two published 10-day trials, people taking 480 mg a day of CherryPURE reported less muscle soreness than placebo, one after a heavy squat session and one before a half-marathon (Levers et al., 2015 and 2016, both supported by CherryPURE's maker). A serving of ours has 750 mg of it.

4Don't pay for pulp and pits

Cherrypure® Tart Cherry Fruit Extract, 750 mg

Turn a few cherry bottles around and you'll see big numbers like 3,000 mg. Look closer and many say "equivalent to." That figure often comes from 300 mg of a 10:1 extract, multiplied back out to count the whole fruit, pulp and pits included.

Ours prints the real amount in your capsules: 750 mg of cherry per serving, with no pulp and no pits. And if we did the math the other bottles do? It takes about 50 pounds of cherries to make one pound of our powder, so we could print 37,500 mg. We'd rather you know what you're actually taking.

“So far so great... went from liquid to pill form. Love that I can read and understand the ingredients now.”

5Cherry brought a couple of friends

Organic Celery Seed, 50 mg · Organic Bilberry Fruit, 10 mg

Plain tart cherry is one ingredient. A lot of folks who've built their own routine over the years end up pairing cherry with celery seed by hand. We put them together in one capsule.

Organic celery seed has a long history of traditional use, and people have paired it with cherry for generations. Organic bilberry, a little cousin of the blueberry, adds its own deep blue color to the blend. Three plants, one simple routine.

6Get your mornings back

This is why most people reach for tart cherry in the first place. Orchard Tart Cherry supports joint comfort and your body's natural clearing of uric acid, to help maintain healthy levels already in the normal range.

What people notice is the first hour of the day getting easier, with less time waiting for your joints to wake up. Our reviewers tend to mention it somewhere between week two and week six, so give the routine six weeks before you judge it.

“I was pleasantly surprised when I realized after about a week that I was feeling much less soreness when going up and down the stairs, getting up from a low chair or crawling out of my small car too!”

7Better nights come along for the ride

Here's the bonus our reviewers bring up again and again. Tart cherries naturally carry a little melatonin, the amount nature puts there, and that's part of why the cherry has its reputation for restful sleep. Nothing synthetic, no megadose.

We suggest two capsules within an hour of bed. For a lot of people the nights are the first thing they notice, often in the first week. If earlier in the day suits your body better, that works too.

“I really started taking these for inflammation support for hip pain, but the sleep I've been getting since taking them is magical. I wake up so rested as well!!!”

“When I started taking cherry capsules I noticed that my knees did not hurt as bad going up and down stairs. I stopped for a while and knees started hurting again and it was more difficult going upstairs. Now I won't be without them.”
