20 Feb 2020 --- Montmorency tart cherries juice has been linked to improved sports performance, according to new research published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. A meta-analysis of ten previously published studies on Montmorency cherry juice indicated that tart cherry concentrate in juice or powdered form significantly improved endurance exercise performance when consumed anywhere between seven days to 90 minutes before cycling, swimming or running. The findings add to the juice’s newly gained reputation as a sports recovery drink and expand its applications to the sports nutrition sector.
