How do I use Cherry Bay Orchards Tart Cherry Concentrate, and how much should I take per serving?
Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons (approximately 1 oz) of concentrate into 8 oz of water or your favorite juice — it dilutes easily and tastes great either way. You can enjoy it once or twice daily, morning or evening. Many customers prefer taking it before bed to support their nightly routine. The 32 oz bottle provides approximately 32 one-ounce servings, making it a great value for everyday use.
Does this product contain added sugar, preservatives, or artificial ingredients?

There is no added sugar, no preservatives, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no additives of any kind. Any sugar present is naturally occurring from the cherries themselves. It is also gluten free, GMO free, and Kosher certified.
What are the main wellness benefits associated with Montmorency tart cherry concentrate?
Montmorency tart cherries are one of the richest natural sources of antioxidants and are widely studied for their role in supporting overall wellness. Emerging research has associated tart cherry consumption with support for healthy sleep patterns, post-exercise muscle recovery, joint comfort, cardiovascular health, and immune system function. Each bottle of Cherry Bay Orchards concentrate contains the equivalent of over 1,000 cherries for maximum potency. As always, these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Where are the cherries sourced, and is this product made in the USA?
Yes — Cherry Bay Orchards Tart Cherry Concentrate is proudly made in the USA from Montmorency tart cherries grown right here in the United States. It is never blended with imported fruit, so what you get is 100% domestic, single-origin Montmorency cherry concentrate. Cherry Bay Orchards has deep roots in Michigan's cherry country, and their commitment to using only USA-grown fruit sets them apart from many competitors on the market.
How should I store the concentrate, and how long does it last once opened?
Before opening, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate immediately and use within 60 to 90 days for best quality and flavor. The concentrate is sealed without preservatives, so refrigeration after opening is important. If you purchase a case or stock up, unopened bottles can be stored at room temperature until you're ready to use them — making it convenient to buy in bulk and always have a bottle on hand.
