Sufferers of achy and fatigued muscles may have a new and unique dietary supplement option to help them recover more quickly. In a recently published clinical study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition researchers from Texas A&M University shed light on the benefits of Montmorency Tart Cherry Powder supplementation for exercise recovery. A short-term dose helped to accelerate recovery from muscle soreness, slow strength decline during recovery, and lessen markers of muscle catabolism in resistance-trained individuals.   
 
Led by Dr. Richard Kreider from the Department of Health and Kinesiology, Exercise and Sport Nutrition Laboratory, in College Station, TX, the research team used a well-established double-blind, placebo-controlled testing method to examine if short-term ingestion of a powdered tart cherry supplement prior to and following intense resistance-exercise alleviates muscle soreness and recovery from strength loss.
 
The study looked at healthy, resistance-trained men and matched them based on relative maximal back squat strength, age, body weight and fat free mass. The subjects were then assigned, in a double-blind manner, capsules containing 480 mg of powdered Montmorency Tart cherries (as CherryPURE) or a placebo.
 
According to results, those taking the tart cherry supplement reported a significant decrease in post-workout muscle soreness compared to the placebo group. Blood tests also revealed significantly attenuated post-workout markers of protein catabolism, indicating muscle recovery benefits following exercise in the tart cherry supplement group.
 
The Texas A&M study adds another chapter to the growing body of evidence for describing the beneficial use of tart cherries in post-exercise recovery.
