CherryActive

I have been using CherryActive for the past two years. I kid you not when I say it has helped me complete two ultra marathons and kept me fit to work 6 days a week.

When I was told what CherryActive could do I was naturally skeptical. I was told that it could reduce inflammation, muscle soreness and recovery time from intense training. So being the self experimenter that I am I gave it a go.

I first used CherryActive after a running speed interval session. Usually the days after these sessions I am sore in the calves, hamstrings and glutes. Instead I felt no muscle soreness at all. I could tell I had run (my calves were a little tight), but I felt no post exercise soreness. I ran another run the next day and felt loose and energised. This was something I needed to test more!

So I moved onto resistance training and had CherryActive after a gruelling chest and arms workout. The next day I was tight, I could feel my chest and arms had been worked, but I had significantly less soreness than expected. I hadn't been training with weights in a good four weeks. At this point I thought "there's something to this juice".

Aside from my self experimentation I always appreciate the science behind products. CherryActive has been tested both in the USA at the Brunswick laboratories and here in England at Knight Scientific Laboratories. The tests carried out at these labs were to ascertain the ORAC rating of Cherryactive. To see the science and results click here.

One of the most important studies came from London South Bank University. It showed muscles recover faster with less soreness, after strenuous exercise, when CherryActive Concentrate is included in the diet.

A team of highly-regarded sports performance research professionals has been studying whether muscles recover faster from strenuous exercise when the diet is supplemented with CherryActive Concentrate versus supplementation with a placebo. The double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover designed study took ten well-conditioned male subjects, who participate regularly at Rugby, Football or Tae Kwon Do. The participants consumed CherryActive or a Placebo before and after a strenuous bout of exercises, designed to cause damage and soreness to the selected muscle groups.

Blood tests and other examinations were taken before and at set intervals during the following days after the damaging exercise to study the muscles’ strength and function and their recovery. Muscle soreness, inflammatory markers and other measures related to recovery were also taken.

I've now used CherryActive for the last two years with fantastic results. Being active everyday, training clients and doing my own training means I need to function all the time. I can't afford to be off work or not train. As I already eat a balanced diet with plenty of protein and vegetables, CherryActive helps complement that and ensure that I recover quickly with minimal soreness.

I encourage you to try a taster with the shot packs (just £1.20) and see for yourself how it can help. Also make sure you check out the CherryActive website and see for yourself the athletes and sports teams that use and believe in it.
