Concentrated Sour Cherry (Tart Cherry) 500mg - A Must-Have for Athletes
Tart Cherry 500mg (CherryPURE®) from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in vegetable capsules developed with a high-quality concentrate of sour cherry (tart cherry), CherryPURE® patent, along with a high supply of important vitamins (such as D and B12) to complement the plant's action.
The sour cherry or Montmorency cherry (Prunus cerasus) is botanically classified as a stone fruit (drupe) due to the pit in the center, but it has the appearance of a berry due to its size and bright red color. This fruit is widely used to make food products such as juices or jams. Although cherries are not considered medicinal or therapeutic products, concentrated sour cherries are used in sports medicine following promising results obtained in scientific studies conducted with athletes over the past few decades.
Tart Cherry is an excellent dietary supplement for the nutrition of any athlete exposed to high training loads at a competitive level.

Differences between sweet cherry and sour cherry
Sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) and sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) belong to the Rosaceae family. Sweet cherry is the most cultivated species of edible cherry and is widely consumed as fresh fruit and/or in its processed form, becoming part of desserts, jams, and jellies, while sour cherry is mainly used for cooking and for its nutritional purposes.
Sour cherries and sweet cherries are recognized as a source of phytochemicals associated with physiological properties, with proanthocyanidins being noteworthy. Jakobek and his co-authors (2007) analyzed the qualitative and quantitative profile of sour cherry and sweet cherry juices and found that the total content of anthocyanins is very high in both varieties, however, sour cherry variety has become popular in dietary supplements. The most abundant anthocyanin for both versions is cyanidin-3-rutinoside.
A species with a growing body of scientific research
Prunus cerasus, sour cherry or tart cherry, is a fruit that has been extensively researched in the scientific field of sports medicine, as its high polyphenol content has been estimated to have nutritional effects of interest in athletes and individuals exposed to high training loads and high levels of oxidative stress.
Years of scientific research have culminated in the publication of systematic reviews and meta-analyses such as:
- Hill, J. A., Keane, K. M., Quinlan, R., & Howatson, G. (2021). Tart Cherry Supplementation and Recovery From Strenuous Exercise: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism, 31(2), 154–167.
- Gao, R., & Chilibeck, P. D. (2020). Effect of Tart Cherry Concentrate on Endurance Exercise Performance: A Meta-analysis. Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 39(7), 657–664.

These are currently considered scientific readings of reference for the context of scientific research into the interaction between nutrients (diet) and physical exercise.
CherryPURE® Raw Material - International Reference
CherryPURE® Montmorency Sour Cherry powder is the most recognizedraw material of sour cherry in the world and the only source of sour cherry backed by two specific ingredient clinical studies.
Directed by Dr. Richard Kreider of the Department of Health and Kinesiology, Exercise and Sports Nutrition Laboratory at Texas A&M University, in College Station TX, a clinical study was recently completed on human nutrition and focused on its effects on intense endurance training.
The CherryPURE® used in both Texas A&M studies, at a dose of 480mg, is freeze-dried powder produced solely from the skin of the Montmorency sour cherry; just as you can find it in the HSN formula.
CherryPURE® is freeze-dried, 100% natural and additive-free, and is a natural source of antioxidants and nutrients.
Shoreline Fruit's exclusive processing and drying methods maintain the highest levels of nutrients found in the fruit. Compared to other products, CherryPURE® sour cherry powder contains no added ingredients. Other raw materials may contain up to 15% fillers, but Shoreline Fruit's exclusive manufacturing process does not require technological aids typically used during drying, nor additives to prevent clumping.
The result is a pure sour cherry powder that continues to flow freely without artificial ingredients. Additionally, it does not contain genetically modified organisms, nor gluten and complies with all criteria established for detailed and precise control of pesticide residue limits set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
CherryPURE® is currently considered the best and most reputable source of concentrated sour cherry powder raw material internationally.
Standardized to 2% in Proanthocyanidins - High Concentration
The Tart Cherry concentrate is standardized to 2% in its main active compounds characteristic: Proanthocyanidins.
Proanthocyanidins are part of the anthocyanin family, responsible for the color of sour cherries, and for at least, a large part of their nutritional properties.
Thanks to the careful treatment, concentration, and lyophilization process followed by the CherryPURE® patent, its concentration is guaranteed at a high value of 2% of the total content of the extract.
Formula Supplemented with Vitamins (D3 and B12)
The HSN formula has been supplemented with two important vitamins that cover synergistic effects to the presentation of tart cherry concentrate: Vitamin D and Vitamin B12.
These vitamins are not only present in significant amounts, but their presentations are the best, those of highest bioavailability:
- Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) -> A much superior presentation to the classic form of Ergocalciferol or Vitamin D2.
- Vitamin B12 in methylated and active form (Methylcobalamin) -> Directly usable by the body without the need for conversion for its functional effects.
