Sweet cherry concentrate is a thick juice pressed from sweet cherries (Prunus avium), not tart cherries. It supplies anthocyanins and other antioxidants that help manage oxidative stress after hard efforts. Many people use it as a daily shot or stir it into water, juice, or smoothies.
Athletes often turn to it for post-workout recovery. Others drink it as a regular wellness tonic.
The concentrate contains very little vitamin K, but anyone on blood thinners like warfarin should check with their doctor before using it. Concentrated fruit products can influence blood sugar, so people with diabetes should watch their intake closely.
