Muscle recovery and tart cherry juice has received much attention. Studies have linked consumption of tart cherry juice to helping muscle recovery post-exercise, decreasing muscle damage and strength loss, and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
It’s recommended that if you choose to pair tart cherry juice with your workouts, you consume 10 fluid ounces pre-workout and an additional 10 fluid ounces, or munch on dried tart cherries, within 30 minutes after exercise.
