Tart Cherry Stem is a supplement based on concentrated cherry juice with various beneficial effects on the body. The rich antioxidant content helps fight oxidative stress and free radicals.
The cherry, Prunus cerasus (sour cherry, tart cherry, or dwarf cherry), is a species of Prunus from the subgenus Cerasus (cherries). Native to much of Europe and southwest Asia, the Prunus cesarus is closely related to the sweet cherry (Prunus avium), but its fruit is more acidic and offers greater benefits to health.
A “drupe” fruit, meaning it has a central seed with a fleshy exterior, the cherry is a nutritional powerhouse, and has been enjoyed for centuries both for its sweet, delicate and distinct flavour, as well as for its considerable nutritional value.
Cherries are an extremely rich source of minerals (especially potassium), vitamins, protein and fiber, and are chock-full of antioxidants. They also contain polyphenolic flavonoid compounds called anthocyanins, which have powerful, scientifically proven anti-inflammatory properties against COX 1 and 2 pro-inflammatory enzymes (which conventional anti-inflammatory drugs also target), so are great to help reduce pain. Anthocyanins are also of considerable value to brain health and have been shown to improve memory.
While cherry trees begin producing fruit as early as about five years old, it typically takes a good ten to fifteen years for the plant to reach maturity. At that time, a cherry tree can consistently produce more than 100 pounds of fruit per season.
Though most people typically consume the cherry and leave the stem behind, the cherry stem is actually, like its fruit, packed with nutrition and offers distinct nutritional benefits.
Science tells us that cherry stems contain precious volatile oils and potassium salts which are both anti-inflammatory and diuretic, and like cherries, cherry stems also have powerful detoxifying and depurative properties.
Indeed, from a therapeutic perspective, the stem is an extremely valuable part of the cherry. In fact, in alternative and complementary medicine circles, cherry stems have long been recognized as a first-rate natural diuretic when made into a tea or dried and encapsulated. Convenient, effective and safe.
Further, because cherry stems belong to the rose shrub family, they also have potent laxative properties, so are of great value to help treat various forms of constipation. As a depurative, cherry stems can offer solid support in conditions such as cellulitis, cystitis, flu, lithiasis and obesity. In fact, cherry stems are a wonderful addition to begin any weight loss process.
Finally, cherry stems have proven helpful in the treatment of kidney issues, gout and rheumatism, as well as to help strengthen the nerves by exerting an overall calming effect.
