Any one tried this yet? I see them advertised all over with pro sports teams using them now. I love it but I wanted some feed back from BBers. Remember to use my name ( PHIL) in the discount box to save yourself a few $.

My mother started drinking it and told me about it a couple years ago....She loves the stuff and in the offseason I sometimes get that and pomegrante (sp?) juice and mix them together....really good stuff...

Wouldn't call myself a bodybuilder, but I used cherry juice a few years back and did see some benefits as far as reduced pain and inflammation from heavy workouts. Also helped with pain in the knees that I've had for years. My grandmother tried it a couple times for her arthritis and didn't report any significant benefits. Don't drink too much at once, as I caught a strange sort of buzz from it the first time I drank some... a bit odd for just being cherry juice.

Only negative I experienced was the taste, after a while I got tired of the tartness. I'm sure there are mixes or recipes that could eliminate that problem.

Good

I love the cherrypharm juice with the 8g of whey protein. To me, the tartness is the best part as it really quenches my thirst. I have gone through 2 1/2 cases but I have not re-ordered lately as it's pretty pricey for a 6oz, "50 cherry" serving. I can't say I really felt much increased recovery, etc but I will re-order it after I weed-out some of the "non-performing" supplements that I've been trying. And I need to make sure I can afford enough LBAs first

I have a subscription for it and receive it monthly. I just started using it regularly, so I have not yet determined any noticeable benefits. However, I will post after a few weeks of use.

I drink mainly water and lately I have been trying to find a drink that actually makes me feel good. I have tried monavie regular juices etc and nothing leaves me with that satisfied replenished feeling that I have been seeking. I was feeling run down on a Sunday afternoon and I strolled into the local Wegmans and I saw a Cherry Pharm display. I bought a single 8 ounce bottle. Honestly, within the hour I felt really good. I did not feel run down and sluggish anymore. I really felt quenched. I went back and bought a case and I love it.

Cherry Juice Reduces Muscle Pain Induced By Exercise
ScienceDaily (July 23, 2006) — Cherry juice can reduce muscle pain and damage induced by exercise, suggests a small study published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine

Many approaches have been used to try and stave off muscle pain and damage after exercise, but few have been effective, say the authors.

Fourteen volunteers were asked to either drink fresh cherry juice blended with commercial apple juice twice a day for three days before exercise and for four days afterwards, or to drink a dummy mixture containing no cherry juice.

The blend comprised 12 oz of liquid, equivalent to the juice from 50 to 60 cherries. The fruit contains many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.

The exercise was classified as "eccentric," which refers to contractions in which the muscle is lengthened, such as in hill walking or weight lifting, or any type of exercise not previously done before.

In this instance, the volunteers flexed and tensed one arm 20 times.

Muscle tenderness, motion, and strength were assessed on each of the days before and after exercise, using standard pieces of equipment designed for the purpose. And the volunteers rated their own muscle soreness on a scale of 1 to 10.

The whole process was repeated all over again two weeks later, with those who had taken the dummy mixture taking the cherry juice blend instead, and vice versa. The other arm was also used.

There was a significant difference in the degree of muscle strength loss between those drinking the cherry juice blend and those taking the dummy mixture.

This fell by 22 percentage points in those drinking the dummy mixture, but only by 4 percentage points in those drinking cherry juice. Muscle strength even improved slightly after 96 hours in those drinking cherry juice.

The degree of soreness differed little between the two groups, but the average pain score was significantly less in those drinking cherry juice.

Average pain scores came in at 3.2 for those drinking the dummy mixture and 2.4 for those drinking cherry juice.

Pain also peaked at 24 hours for those drinking cherry juice, but continued to increase for those on the dummy mixture for the subsequent 48 hours.
