Tart Cherry Extract

What is Tart Cherry Extract?

Tart Cherry Extract is a concentrated extract derived from European sour cherries. It is rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, and has been studied mainly for its antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties.

Main Benefits and Health Applications

1、Uric acid reduction and gout management: Clinical studies show that continuous supplementation with tart cherry extract (e.g., 500 mg per day) can significantly reduce serum uric acid levels.

2、Alleviating inflammation and improving cardiovascular health markers: The anti‑inflammatory effects of tart cherry extract have been confirmed in multiple studies.

3、Lowering C‑reactive protein (CRP): CRP is a key marker for measuring systemic inflammation. A randomized controlled trial demonstrated that supplementation with 500 mg of tart cherry extract daily for 4 weeks reduced CRP levels by 23.0% (approximately 1.36 mg/L).

4、Modulating inflammatory cytokines: Cellular studies indicate that tart cherry extract can lower levels of inflammation‑related interleukin‑6 (IL‑6) and tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α). These effects collectively support its potential value for maintaining cardiovascular health.
