Does Tart Cherry actually make a difference, or is it overhyped?
A systematic review and meta-analysis found tart cherry (typically Montmorency variety) supplementation modestly aids recovery from strenuous exercise, with a separate meta-analysis finding benefit for endurance exercise performance specifically. Weighing the data: Tart Cherry looks an early-stage, lower-priority area for now — the evidence is only moderate (52/100), and its estimated impact (32/100) is on the lower end too.
