Enzymatic Therapy Cherry Fruit Extract (90 caps)
Enzymatic Therapy Cherry Fruit Extract provides joint support and also has antioxidant activity. Cherry extract is rich source of flavonoids, natural compounds that contribute to the integrity of capillaries, collagen structures, eyes, joints, and arteries. The anthocyanidin and proanthocyanidin flavonoids in cherries also have antioxidant properties to help disarm free radicals, which can damage healthy cells.
Cherry Fruit Extract supports:
- Natural anti-inflammatory response,
- Healthy collagen,
- pH balance by maintaining healthy uric acid levels already within normal range,
- Healthy cells with its powerful antioxidants.
FAQ
Why does Enzymatic Therapy use sweet cherries in Cherry Fruit Extract rather than sour (or tart)?
Research on cherry has used both tart and sweet species of cherry. Both have shown benefits for health. In a study that looked specifically at healthy urate levels the researchers used sweet Bing cherry, which is a cultivar of Prunus avium. In a separate study that looked at the ability of cherry and berries to balance the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response, sweet cherry showed significant activity.
What is the equivalent of fresh cherries to Cherry Fruit Extract?
This product uses a concentrated 10 to 1 cherry fruit extract, which means that it requires 10 lbs of fresh cherries to make 1 lb of cherry fruit extract.
Does Cherry Fruit Extract have any effect on pH balance?
Cherries are a source of flavonoids, natural compounds that have many positive effects on our health. The flavonoids in Cherry Fruit Extract promote pH balance by maintaining healthy uric acid levels. Uric acid results from the breakdown of purines, compounds found in all human tissues and in many foods. According to the American Medical Association, foods with high purine content include beer and other alcoholic beverages, anchovies, sardines in oil, fish roes, herring; and organ meats, such as liver, kidneys, and sweetbreads. Cherry Fruit Extract also has antioxidant properties to protect cells from free radical damage and compounds that support healthy capillaries, collagen structures, eyes, joints, and arteries.

What is Glucosamine?
|
|
|
Glucosamine is composed of glucose (a sugar) and glutamine (an amino acid). It is used by chondrocytes to form glycosaminoglycans (GSG) and proteoglycans (PG). Both of these constituents attract and bind water into cartilage, increasing resiliency.

How does MSM help with joint health?
|
|
|
MSM contains a lot of sulfur – 34% by weight. Sulfur is significant in joint health. MSM is thought to deliver sulfur to the body in a useable way. Sulfur helps maintain the structure of connective tissue by forming cross-linkages through disulfide bonds, for example, sulfur strengthens the tissues that make up the joint.

|
|
Are there any studies done on Glucosamine that establish that it is good for joint health?
|
|
|
Research indicates that glucosamine may help your body repair damaged or eroded cartilage. A number of studies have been conducted on glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride, with a majority of positive results. Glucosamine sulfate is considered the more effective of the two.
One study from the University of Liege in Liege, Belgium studied the effects of glucosamine sulfate on 212 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Participants were given either 1,500 mg glucosamine or a placebo once daily for three years. The study compared joint-space width at enrollment, one year, and at the study’s conclusion. The 106 patients on placebo had a progressive joint-space narrowing, while participants taking glucosamine experienced no significant joint-space loss, indicating glucosamine may beneficially modify cartilage structure.
A study published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage in 1998 investigated the in vitro effects of glucosamine sulfate on proteoglycan and collagen making by chondrocytes taken from osteoarthritic articular cartilage. The results demonstrated “a statistically significant stimulation of PG production by chondrocytes from human osteoarthritic cartilage cultured for up to 12 days in 3-dimensional cultures.”
Another study from Italy enrolled eighty inpatients with established OA. They were given either 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate or placebo daily for 30 days. The patients given with glucosamine sulfate experienced a reduction in symptoms almost twice as large and twice as fast as those receiving placebo. Researchers also used electron microscopy of patient’s articular cartilage to support this hypothesis. Patients who received glucosamine sulfate showed a picture more similar to healthy cartilage. The researchers concluded that glucosamine sulfate tends to rebuild damaged articular cartilage and restore articular function.

What is Chondroitin?
|
|
|
Chondroitin is classified as a glycosaminoglycan. It bonds with collagen to form the basis of connective tissue. Chondroitin helps attract fluid into proteoglycans, thereby bringing nutrients into cartilage and providing shock absorption.
|
|
|
|
|
What does Chondroitin do for me?
|
|
|
Glucosamine helps manufacture and maintain cartilage and chondroitin keeps cartilage from becoming malnourished. Chondroitin works synergistically with glucosamine, and these two nutrients form the basis of most joint health supplements on the market today.

|
|
Are there any studies done on Chondroitin that establish that it is good for joint health?
|
|
|
Yes. A 6-month randomized, multi-center, double blind, double-dummy study published in 1996 compared the effectiveness of chondroitin versus a popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). One hundred and forty-six patients with knee OA were recruited and separated into two groups; an NSAID group and a chondroitin sulfate (CS) group. The NSAID group received the NSAID and a placebo for the first month, then placebo alone for months 2-3. The CS group received the NSAID and CS for the first month, and then CS alone for months 2-3. Both groups were then given 1200 mg of CS for months 4-6. “Patients treated with the NSAID showed prompt and plain reduction of clinical symptoms, which, however, reappeared after the end of treatment; in the CS group, the therapeutic response appeared later in time but lasted for up to 3 months after the end of treatment. CS seems to have slow but gradually increasing clinical activity in OA; these benefits last for a long period after the end of treatment.”
