Cannot recommend highly enough. Used drink for years but recently changed to these capsules, fantastic stuf thank goodness for cherry active !!

Unsure as yet as to the benefits.
Looking at the info published there is plenty of pseudo scientific reporting as to the statistical benefits, but fail to point out dose required to achieve the desired impact.
Have had a flair up whilst taking these, but have been taking 1 tab a day, rather than 2 . No clear evidence on the bottle as to dose that may be required for anti- inflammatory benefits.
should I have been taking 2 tabs, would I have had a flair up?
Biggest draw back is the size and taste of the tablets.
Horsepills!
Taste like mouldy cardboard too. Make sure you have a cool cup of tea to swallow them with, you need a big gulp to get them down.
Tried adding powder to cherry juice drink, but does not dissolve, just makes a lumpiness in bottom of glass.
Are there any side effects? Interractions with other meds?
Not stated on info on web. An important ommission. If you are going to put out biochemical supportive info that puports to have benefits, then this may also have other drug interraction.
COX-1 and COX -2 inhibition is not without impact. Needs to be added to info.

I bought these to help me sleep as natural source of melatonin. Help with muscle recovery after exercise too. I’m 42yo woman with ADHD.

My son typically has very bad Aspergers related insomnia which has resulted in very poor School/College attendance with a threat of permanent dismissal hanging over his head. Trying to solve this problem has been a terrible uphill struggle. Eventually he was prescribed 2 Melatonin at night but as he grew his dosage needs grew from 2 capsules to 4 a night. I was told that the maximum he could eventually take was 5 – THAT IS until I asked for Lactose Free because of my sons worsening asthma. The Doc went all strange on me for treading on the Hospitals financial toes and decided to go backwards to the dose which didn’t work, so in my panic I Googled MELATONIN RICH FOOD and found that Cherries are high on the list – the skins to be precise. I went to well known Holland & Barratt, bought the juice AND the capsules and decided to substitute some of the pharmaceutical Melatonin with the Cherry Active Capsules. Not only is my son getting less lactose, some much needed vitamins and anti-oxidants but he himself stated how PEACEFULLY he sleeps with the Cherry Active Capsules. It’s a fantastic result. The only downside is that I now seem to be obsessed with ‘all-things-cherry.’ Up to now I have found the capsules to be more effective than the juice but only because I haven’t found the right dose yet. I have conversed with the Cherry Active Company about this product ~ so any queries they are there to help. Really hope this helps !

Great if you suffer with Gout
by Bookworm
I am 65, I have had a painful hip for about 2 years, I have had physio and I already take Turmeric. The painful hip is mostly noticeable when I am resting watching TV and at night in bed. I had resorted to using Voltarol at night and sleeping with a pillow between my legs. However, after taking 2 capsules (one morning, one evening) I no longer need the Voltarol or the pillow! Also I do a lot of walking over the moor and after particularly strenuous walks I usually ache all over the next day, but now I hardly feel anything. See the Cherry Active website for more information about benefits for athletes, arthritis etc. A bonus has been that I am able to get back to sleep easier when I wake in the night and I wake in the morning feeling more refreshed.

I think this product works well. Recently I have noticed that the product capsules taste of plastic, which is off putting.
