As we approach the London marathon (Sunday 26th April) I wanted to highlight the benefits of CherryActive from Active Edge. It works wonders in reducing muscle ache after any exercise. It is particularly beneficial post-running and is also very popular with cyclists.
It comes in a concentrated liquid and capsule form. The juice is the most popular option, you dilute it like a squash and drink it after your run or cycle. Not only will it provide a high level of antioxidants to mop up damage after the exertion, but it is a very nice tasting drink to encourage rehydration too.
CherryActive has other applications, especially if you have issues with sleep. Montmorency cherries are one of the few food sources of melatonin, the sleep hormone. If taken before you go to bed, CherryActive can aid a good night’s sleep.
Interestingly, it’s original use was for those with gout as it helps break down uric acid build-up. We have a number of customers who use the cherry juice for this purpose and find it very effective.
You can view the range of CherryActive here. Take either after exercise or before bed, depending on your goal. The concentrate makes a delicious drink, but I personally like to drizzle over porridge or Greek yogurt – delicious!
