When we push our bodies through an intense workout, the fatigue we feel is more than just “tiredness”. Intense training causes microscopic muscle tears and oxidative stress, leading to Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). This stiffness can leave soreness lingering for days, slowing progress and keeping you from your next session.
Tart cherry extract is emerging as a versatile ingredient with benefits beyond its classic fruity taste. Sourced from high‑quality European tart cherries and standardised for polyphenols and anthocyanins, this extract delivers natural antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties to help reduce exercise-induced inflammation and supports faster post-workout recovery.
However, not all tart cherry extracts are the same. At ITS Nutriscience, we offer Vistula tart cherries, a European variety known for its exceptionally rich phytonutrient profile when compared to the more commonly used Montmorency cherries.
Why Vistula Tart Cherries Stand Out
- Over 2 times higher total polyphenol content
- 3 times more chlorogenic acid
- 6 times higher anthocyanin levels
By incorporating this nutrient-dense variety into your product line, you can provide a science-backed solution that eliminates recovery downtime and keeps consumers moving toward their goals.
