Newswise, December 8, 2015-- Sufferers of achy and fatigued
muscles may have a new and unique dietary supplement option to help them
recover more quickly.
In a recently published clinical study in the Journal of the
International Society of Sports Nutrition researchers from Texas A&M
University® shed light on the benefits of Montmorency Tart Cherry Powder
supplementation for exercise recovery.
A short-term dose helped to accelerate
recovery from muscle soreness, slow strength decline during recovery, and
lessen markers of muscle catabolism in resistance trained individuals.
Led by Dr. Richard Kreider from the Department of Health and
Kinesiology, Exercise and Sport Nutrition Laboratory, in College Station, TX
the research team used a well-established double-blind, placebo-controlled
testing method to examine if short-term ingestion of a powdered tart cherry
supplement, prior to, and following intense resistance-exercise alleviates
muscle soreness and recovery from strength loss.
The study looked at healthy, resistance-trained men and
matched them based on relative maximal back squat strength, age, body weight
and fat free mass. The subjects were then assigned, in a double-blind manner,
capsules containing 480mg of powdered Montmorency Tart cherries (as CherryPURE®)
or a placebo.
The study reports those taking the tart cherry supplement
reported a significant decrease in post-workout muscle soreness compared to the
placebo group.
Blood tests also revealed significantly attenuated post-workout
markers of protein catabolism, indicating muscle recovery benefits following
exercise in the tart cherry supplement group.
The Texas A&M study adds another chapter to the growing
body of evidence for describing the beneficial use of Tart Montmorency cherries
in post-exercise recovery.
