Dream on with Apothe-Cherry

Is getting to sleep and staying asleep a struggle in your life? Discover the product that can get you back on your dream cloud! 

From sleep aid to healthy joint function, tart cherries contain phytonutrients and antioxidants that offer health-promoting benefits to issues many people face daily. Organic super fruit sour cherries are a core Purium product! 

What is it? 

Apothe-Cherry contains a wide variety of unique antioxidants and phytochemicals that help balance circadian rhythms, support healthy joint function and promote healthy uric acid metabolism. Purium’s Apothe-Cherry is a tart cherry extract that condenses the nutritional potency of approximately 30/tart cherries into 1 oz. of concentrate. Can you say, efficient?

How does it work? 

Our bodies naturally produce melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle, also known as circadian rhythm. While our body naturally produces this chemical, these dark red cherries contain large amounts that are readily absorbable. What does that mean? Well, a swig of its concentrate can help you sleep soundly through the night and wake up feeling renewed . 

How is this possible? In one randomized, double-blind study published in The European Journal of Nutrition, cherry  extract was found to boost melatonin levels, sleep time, and quality of sleep in the study’s participants..This discovery has led to further studies on cherries being used as a possible treatment for insomnia.

Not only can they  help you get some precious shut-eye, but tart cherries also contain antioxidants that help support the body’s response to inflammation and support uric acid metabolism. But you know, that’s just an added bonus! 

Benefits:

• Help improve sleep
• May reduce free radical damage
• Helps beautify skin
• Supports a healthy response to inflammation

Suggested Use:

We suggest adding 1 oz. (around 2 tbsp) to 8-10 oz. of water. We also like to splash a little in our Powershakes or Bio Fruit.

  • Daily Fiber Blend: aids with melatonin production and is a low sugar and reduced calorie/carb option for diabetics. Apothe-Cherry mixes with soluble fibers making it a great delivery system, slowing the rate that sugar breaks down in the blood allowing for controlled release.

  •  Aloe Vera Concentrate: contains polysaccharides that help retain antioxidants and melatonin in the blood 3 times longer
