What are the health benefits of sour cherries? Sour cherries naturally contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and melatonin. Sour, tart, and pie cherries are all references to a cherry with a high acid level. It is these cherries that carry the highest acid levels, and the darker the pigmentation the higher the benefits.

It is recommended to take a dose of at least 2 oz. a day. When starting out stick to this, but once you have been on it a while and you recognize the benefits you could adjust. As for when to take it, because of the natural melatonin, take in the evening for best results. Sour cherry juice also helps with gout, which is caused by a buildup of uric acid. The natural acids in the juice breaks down the uric acid crystals in your blood and gets it moving.
