Dark Cherry Concentrate, 8 fl oz
- Contains more anthocyanins than tart cherry*
- 100% juice concentrate - No added sugar
If you’re looking for Bernard Jensen’s cherry concentrate that you used to find at GNC, look no further!
While published literature suggests that tart cherries have a higher overall concentration of phenolic compounds, the plant-based chemicals with associated health benefits, sweet cherries contain more anthocyanins.
Anthocyanins are naturally occurring compounds that contribute to a plant’s pigmentation. Anthocyanins impart blue, red, and purple coloring to plants.
Anthocyanins have amazing antioxidant properties, which we need to preserve the health and structural integrity of cells and to inhibit oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Anthocyanins are also believed to have great anti-inflammatory properties.*
Dark Cherry Concentrate is 100% pure and natural, with no added sugar or other sweetener. And because it’s not diluted like other brands, Dark Cherry Concentrate mixes well with plain water, seltzer or other fruit and vegetable juices. Dark Cherry Concentrate is ideal as a delicious natural topping for yogurt, ice cream, pastries, tropical smoothies, and fruit cocktails. Try a simple preparation of 1 part cherry concentrate to 6 parts water - it's delicious - and may help to reduce gout symptoms.* Or use it to enhance your Kidney Cleanse Tea.
