⚠️ NEW PRODUCT ALERT | Tart Cherry Extract Powder | 10% Anthocyanins ⚠️

Comment · Thu, October 22, 2020 · 7 pts

We quantitate using the cyanidin 3-rutinoside standard, but there are 3 anthocyanins in tart cherry: cyanidin 3-glucosylrutinoside, cyanidin 3-rutinoside, and cyanidin 3-glucoside. Our extract has all three, with cyanidi

Yes, but I am not holding up powders to wait for capsules anymore. Shit is just waaaaay too delayed with COVID-19, and I can't just sit on hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory for an ideal dual powder and capsul

It tastes like strong tart cherry. I like the taste a lot!

That tastes like pomegranate husks, which is not so nice. LOL

No, that's right. That's how you quantitate total anthocyanins in tart cherry. It's the USP method. You use the cyanidin 3-rutinoside standard, and report the total of all of them as cyanidin 3-rutinoside equivalents. Th

We always add a little cyanide in ourselves, just for that extra kick.

Andrographis is one. I will have to confirm with the team on the others.

It's our pleasure! If you prefer capsules/tablets, then waiting might be a better idea. There are almost no things that we will only offer in powder these days. 99% will be in capsules/tablets/softgels as well. It's just

I use it during the daytime. Not sure on the melatonin thing. I guess we could use our melatonin method on it and see if we see any in there.

I added equivalents in there for clarification. The USP method just says "total anthocyanins as cyanidin 3-rutinoside." However, I can speak to the team about possibly modifying the spec sheet for clarification. Sometime

Yes, it mixes well in water.

Tart cherry has the most evidence on improving uric acid buildup, which is why I was personally using it. I am not in my 20s anymore, and now when I drink beer I get painful aching joints for a few days afterwards. I did

I've combined it with agmatine, berberine, EGCG, and polygala, and they went well together. Not sure I have combined it with Shoden yet, but I don't see a reason they would not work well together.

It has a lot of beneficial effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4032030/

No problem!

Anthocyanidins are just the aglycones of the anthocyanins. Think of salidroside and tyrosol. They are the same thing, just one having a glucose molecule attached to it. Cyanidin is the core structure that makes up the an

There are some really cool plants out there that we just don't hype up much in the west. Natural extracts are always treated as bullshit over here, and you get called a rube by people who automatically assume everything

Exactly. Plants are just combinations of chemicals. We are all just combinations of chemicals. It's the standardization and concentration that makes a difference. Then using modern science to understand them and make the

Well tart cherry juice will contain melatonin in small amounts. I just don't know if it comes over in our extract. Even if ours comes up with none, that doesn't mean that juice product doesn't have any.

Yes it does. That's what happens with gout. It builds up over time till it is almost unbearable.

I am supplementing it daily now.

Comment · Tue, October 27, 2020 · 2 pts

Yes, because of its TNF-α and COX-2 effects. It's not just for uric acid.

https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2020/1454305/ It seems that it might be due to lower adenosine deaminase activity? It's hard to say. It's a really complex cycle.

Awesome! I am curious to see how you respond!

I believe we did not find any melatonin content in there, but I will confirm with my lab director tomorrow.

So we remember doing it, but we can't find the data. Maybe we didn't save it. I am having them re-run the melatonin method on the sample.

Comment · Wed, February 17, 2021 · 4 pts

We reran the testing in the lab. No melatonin found in our tart cherry at all. It's just as I suspected. Perhaps tart cherry juice has it in there, but our extract does not.
