The little red fruit known for its ruby red color may offer more than just great taste. Recent research results from the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center shows that tart cherry powder showed good results with reducing factors associated with heart disease and diabetes.

The research was funded by a grant from Cherry Marketing Association and conducted by the University of Michigan. The results were presented at the 2008 Experimental Biology meeting held in San Diego, CA by individuals from the University of Michigan Cardioprotection Research Laboratory.

Although this research was conducted on the rats, U of M is current preparing clinical trials of whole tart cherries working with humans participants. In short, rats in the research study were given whole tart cherry powder. Tart cherry powder is made from whole tart cherries that have been powdered down to create an easy-to-take and consumer friendly way to enjoy the natural health benefits of whole tart cherries.
The rats given the tart cherry powder during the study had significantly lower blood levels of triglycerides and cholesterol than the other rats that didn’t receive the tart cherry powder.

In addition, according the research, the rats in the study didn’t build up as much body fat in the belly or gain as much weight as those who didn’t receive the cherry powder. Belly fat is just one factor linked to cardiovascular disease. Some of the tests conducted on the subjects during the test were measured on variables linked to Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The most interesting part of the published results is that antioxidant-rich foods and food extracts, including tart cherry powder offers very interesting results to fighting disease and maintaining a healthy lifestyle naturally.

A Few Tips on Finding Find Tart Cherry Powder

Since tart cherry powder is a highly complex and specialized product, you probably won’t be able to find tart cherry powder in your local vitamin store. You would want to purchase cherry powder from a company that specializes in tart cherry products. Since Michigan grows 60%+ of all tart cherries in the U.S., Michigan based cherry companies are probably more familiar with the health benefits of tart cherries than other companies just selling tart cherry products.

In addition, since the study from the University of Michigan was conducted with tart cherry powder made from Michigan-grown Montmorency tart cherries, search out companies that offer tart cherry powder made with Montmorency tart cherries.

So if you are looking for ways to fight the risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes get some tart cherry powder into your diet. One of the best ways and most convenient ways to get tart cherry powder is in capsule format. They are easy-to-swallow and are a very stable product. When searching for tart cherry powder on the Internet, use search terms like “tart cherry powder” and “tart cherry capsules”.

In addition, Fruit Advantage, www.fruitadvantage.com, is America’s leading super fruit supplement brand. In addition to offering tart cherry powder in capsule format, the company specializes in offering only super fruit products including tart cherry, wild blueberry, pomegranate, cranberry and more.
