tart cherry effect and thoughts on mechanism of action
Original post in this thread

so i took tart cherry for one night only, but ive been struggling with sleep, particularly after ejaculations, for years. i also have IBS, which disrupts sleep a lot. but a lot of supplements like melatonin leave me exhausted and in pain with poorer quality sleep the next day.
tart cherry extract allowed me to get back to deep sleep without any strong feeling of sedation and i feel well rested today, usually i feel super hot after sex and am up for 2-4 hours at night. 10/10 obvious result here for me. i know the discussion on ND is that it’s potentially unlikely to be melatonin, but curious what this sub thinks on why tart cherry extract is generally effective for sleep, and especially in my case? could be the uric acid as i do have a high meat diet with fruit in as well.
anyway, this supplement rules.

It's not melatonin. We tested for that, and it didn't contain any. The mechanism is likely uric acid related. I talked about it on this thread.
