HEALTH BENEFITS: MONTMORENCY TART CHERRY CONCENTRATE Montmorency Tart Cherry Concentrate contains highly intensified richness in vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. With an abundance of 17 antioxidants, including anthocyanins and melatonins, it is also high in potassium. A potential scientific connection between tart cherry juice and substantial health benefits is being explored in several universities, and we believe that as further research is published there will be findings of very positive benefits for arthritic pain. New studies show tart cherry concentrate scoring highest on industry-recognized ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) chart (see below) for fruits and vegetables.

What does Stanton Orchards’ Montmorency Tart Cherry Concentrate contain? Stanton Orchards’ Montmorency Tart Cherry Concentrate is a 100% pure, all natural product. There is absolutely nothing added. No additives, preservatives, food color, or sugar is added. As a 68 Brix soluble solid content, our concentrate is totally fat free, cholesterol–free, and very low in sodium. Each one ounce serving contains 80 calories and provides 19 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of protein as well as 8 mg of calcium and 202 mg of potassium. Our Montmorency Tart Cherries are freshly harvested at the peak of their ripeness. Then they are pitted, filtered, flashpasteurized and then cold filled. We DO NOT pasteurize our concentrate a second time during the bottling process because this significantly or in some cases completely eliminates the levels of nutrients in the product.

Key healthy benefits • High levels of Anthocyanins may act as a natural anti-inflammatory agent. • High levels of Melatonin promote healthy sleep patterns. • May relieve pain associated with joint problems and other agerelated conditions. • May act as a super scavenger “SODS” to neutralize dangerous free radicals throughout the body.

Media focus: Dr. Oz video Among the many media mentions and testimonials, here’s a recent video by Dr. Oz: “Amazing Antioxidants” http://www. doctoroz.com/videos/amazing-antioxidants-tart-cherry-juice Three reasons tart cherry juice is being called the ultimate antioxidant. New research shows.... --Dr. Oz

How free radicals damage our bodies Antioxidants provide electrons that free radicals need so they can leave your healthy cell electrons alone. Therefore, the antioxidants act as neutralizers to the free radicals that can do harm in our bodies.

ORAC values and what they mean to your health (see chart above) The ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) test quantifies the antioxidant capacities of foods by taking into account the fact that most natural products are a complex mix of phytochemicals of which many are antioxidants. It is a measure of how many antioxidants are in a food product and how powerful they are. That means that the antioxidants in tart cherries are more readily available to neutralize free radicals in our body.

Scientific research on health benefits Many scientific studies on tart cherries and tart cherry concentrate have been conducted, and many more are currently being undertaken by institutions all over the world. A potential scientific connection between tart cherry juice and substantial health benefits is being explored in several universities, and we believe that as further research is published there will be findings of very positive benefits for arthritic pain. Several examples include: Michigan State University, University of Texas Health Science Center, and other independent institutions have conducted research on the health benefits of cherries, with the following findings: Tart cherry concentrate shows among the highest antioxidant potency score in all fruits and vegetables. According to Dr. Boxin Ou, principal research scientist at Brunswick Laboratories, a leading scientist in the U.S. on phytochemicals in plant foods, tart cherry juice concentrate has among the highest ORAC value in all the fruits and vegetables recently tested.
