Why buy tart cherry juice? Simple: It's really good for you, and it's easy to use. We've been using tart cherries and tart cherry juice for years as an important part of our diet, and we're seniors. (I remember seeing Elvis Presley's live performance on the Ed Sullivan Show on a black-and-white TV, OK?) We've noticed that a lot of our friends and neighbors in the over-50 age group have the usual assortment of aches and pains. So do a lot of our friends and neighbors in the 30 to 49 age group, for that matter. We've been relatively lucky in retaining flexibility and avoiding OTC pain relief aids, and believe that a sensible diet including antioxidants, bioflavinoids, etc. may be part of the reason. Hello, Montmorency cherries! And yes, Morello tart cherries and sweet Bing cherries are also great. That said, not all cherry products are the same, or serve exactly the same purpose, and prices vary quite a bit, so we use what works best for a specific purpose. For beverages, this particular tart cherry juice is excellent and we highly recommend its use. We also like the price. One does not need to use a shot glass and treat this juice as some sort of medicinal dose. Instead, try using 30 ml (that's 1 oz.) of this juice, plus an equal amount of RealLemon juice concentrate, plus about 20 ml of NuNaturals liquid stevia simple syrup in a tall mug, add about 12 to 14 oz. water and a little ice, stir, and enjoy. We are way past the point of using fresh lemons for beverages since there's just the two of us. We don't even own a juicer other than the little kitchen utensil that one fits half a lemon onto and and involves a twist of the wrist, but if fresh lemons are available the reader can skip the lemon concentrate and just wing it. Note that the company that makes this tart cherry juice concentrate states that about a 1 to 6 (juice/water) ratio is recommended. This juice does seem to require a bit less stevia syrup and less water than we've been accustomed to using. Tastes vary, so one might wish to try a scaled down version first, or experiment a bit for best results. One might also try using tart cherry juice concentrate combined with pasturized apple cider to rehydrate dried, unsweetened tart cherries or even Bing cherries for an added nutritional/flavor boost. It's best for the readers of this review to experiment with the proportions and adjust for individual preferences, so I won't specify what we use, but please remember that the tart cherry juice is concentrated, and apple cider isn't. I suggest giving the cherries at least a day or two in a sealed French-style canning jar (kept in the refrigerator) so the fruit rehydrates before adding the cherries to plain Greek yogurt (sweetened with stevia) along with chopped bananas, for example. If one is careful to keep the jar cold, one can simply top off the liquid so that it just barely covers the new dried fruit after making a batch of yogurt with the rehydrated fruit. I make a big batch of yogurt, and also add either powdered greens or organic cocoa, so we have enough servings of yogurt for several days. My husband prefers blueberries with either cherries or strawberries in his, BTW, so we alternate recipes. Getting fresh blueberries is seldom a problem, but for the strawberries, we often end up using dried fruit. They can be rehydrated in apple cider using the same procedure mentioned above. Bottom line: Experiment! Enjoy!

This stuff is GOOD! I can taste the quality of the cherries. I love mixing it with sparkling mineral water for a fun mocktail!

So far have had no recurrence of any gout. Not sure on the sleep claim.

We love this brand of tart cherry. We use every morning in our smoothies. Tart cherries help with inflammation.

It arrived packed well inside an insulated pouch with an ice pack. I use 2 tablespoons combined with 8oz of Pelligreno. It tastes better than regular Tart Cherry Juice and is easy to mix using a Shaker Bottle. It is also cost-effective. I am very pleased!

Love it. Easy to use and not a large bulk to store. Refrigerate after opening but freeze the other one for later use. Really helps hubby with his gout attacks.

good product not much to it.
