Bought a bottle yesterday . Don't feel a difference yet. It's tasty!!!! They have it at vitiamin world.

I saw. Got some today. Expensive but I will see if it helps and decide where to go from there if so. Feeling good at moment. Not nearly as tart as I would have thought. Kind of like cranberry with a cherry aftertaste.

Hope it helps Faith & freddyj..all of the testimonials on the web gave me confidence about it, and I do feel much better. My symptoms have definitely improved.

Are we drinking the same thing? Yours isnt very powerfully concentrated is it? Does my taste description sound right?

Yes, it is concentrate, not juice. :)

Hmmm this is interesting. I'm from Michigan, home of the Cherry festival, so that is something we usually have an abundance of. I LOVE all things cherry - sweet or tart. So I may go and get some! I'm always on the look out to find something that will help with my arthritis since I can't take conventional medicines for it.

Sherry, I was hoping you would see this so you could try it for Sacroiilitis.

I had a junk food day yesterday, and my symptoms are even more improved this morning..chicken fingers & sauce, mac & cheese, chili, and an orange crush.

I've been drinking it with water morning and night all week.

I just got my months supply of the tart cherry juice and started officially yesterday. I guess we will see.

Will try my health store. Im not much of an online buyer. Very interested in this.

Can I get links to the products tried?

Southerngirl6 and twiggs mentioned the products they use (but I am still not too sure what twiggs ordered from Amazon).

Any other products?

Thanks in advance.

I decided to jump on the bandwagon. I ordered some concentrated veggiecaps and will give this a try as soon as they arrive.

Delta, I thought I placed a link but I guess I didnt. Here you go. Once again it seems to the be the best deal as far as quantity and price goes for me anyways being a amazon prime customer. I pay no tax or shipping so its 36.40 to my door step for 8 - 46oz jugs.

I've taken tart cherry concentrate for the past three day (I'm from Mi and we're known for our cherries) no improvement yet, but hopefully it will take the aches and pains out of my heels that I got with the humira I was on.

Thanks twiggs.

I am not too sure if this should be an alarm, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15219719

In discussion, they mention that anthocyanins (in tart cherry extract) possibly act by inhibiting COX (same mechanism as NSAIDs). We UCers are usually sensitive to this mechanism. I am just scared, it should not worsen my flare instead.

Mine claims to have no artificial ingredients, just black cherry concentrate.
Posted 1/17/2013 4:28 PM (GMT 0)
Southerngirl what he means is that cherries naturally act on our bodies kind of like NSAIDS do. I read this also where they talk ab out how they are great for pain. I am going to complete the one month 8oz glass a day at night to see how it works. So far no problems.
Posted 1/17/2013 6:59 PM (GMT 0)
Oh okay. No problems here either, my current status is I stopped drinking it Sunday when I went on a trip (almost in remission, didn't know if hotel would have fridge, last-minute), had to eat a salad on Monday because it was that or a sandwich and I don't eat yeast..plus I was super-stressed driving and not knowing what to expect there..saw blood on Tuesday morning, a little worse on Wednesday, came home, started drinking again and this morning total of two formed bms with very very little blood.

SG6, How are you mixing your juice. Very little water and a tablespoon of juice? This really works for you and I'm so happy!
Posted 1/17/2013 9:41 PM (GMT 0)
I'm pouring a few tablespoons into a coffee cup and filling it up with chilled water. Thanks!! I just hope it helps someone else

Thanks for posting that. I learned they are cancer preventors.

The strange thing that they act as pain releivers. Like Delta mentions they also "possibly act by inhibiting COX (same mechanism as NSAIDs)" which may be the case also. On the contrary people who have tinnitus which can be caused by overuse of nsaids can obtain releif and possibly eliminating tinnitus with tart cherry juice. Otherwise there are numerous findings on the benefits of it. All you can do it try it and see how it effects you. I will post how I am doing with it as more time goes.

I am on my 4th day of it so still early..

The problem is that it's so hard to tell whether it's the black cherry or if it's just the normal ups and downs of UC causing you to feel better. It would be great if there were a more widespread, controlled study. I know with my UC, there are times I have a really bad days/week and I think I am definitely headed into a flare and then out of no where, I will be back to 100% for a long time. I am happy people are seeing improvement and I hope more have success with this. It would be great if we could all just drink cherry concentrate :)

Cherries are very high in natural salicylates, hence the NSAIDs-like reputation. One who's sensitive to salicylates shouldn't consume it in high dosages.
