The evidence in words
How much to take
~480 mL juice or an equivalent concentrate/extract daily, often twice daily around hard training.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Tart Cherry; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Its melatonin content and anti-inflammatory anthocyanins plausibly support sleep and reduce exercise-induced muscle damage.
Bottom line
A gentle, food-based aid for sleep and post-exercise recovery. Modest effects; fine if you enjoy it.
How it is used
