Montmorency Cherry

As a shift worker with a young family i have got used to feeling constantly tired out. Changing sleep patterns combined with a little one who wakes up several times a night meant that i had got to a place where i couldn't sleep even though i was shattered, and sleep had become a problem area in my life- basically shift worker sleep syndrome and insomnia. Introducing 'sleep hygeine' techniques and elimimating caffeine (i was a massive coffee drinker) helped somewhat but i still wasn't feeling refreshed after bed. I tried nytol both the blue and green type but they left me feeling groggy for at least a day after which defeated the object. I'd read about melatonin which isn't available in the uk, but these tablets are the nearest thing as they naturally contain melatonin so i decided to try some. After three nights using them i can describe them as a success for helping with my sleep. I take two and hour before I expect to sleep with a glass of water. The effect is to feel more relaxed and sleepy and it was more of a gentle effect than the nytol, i am waking up feeling generally refreshed and not cowed by facing another day with not enough sleep. Last night our toddler woke us up a few times, normally interrupted sleep destroys me the day after but it feels like the sleep i got was of a higher quality so i still feel okay. For parents of young children these don't knock you out, i've still been able to wake to look after the little one so that doesn't seem an issue. These pills get a hearty thumbs up from me for anyone suffering issues with their sleep.

I have been suffering from insomnia just lately brought on by stress no doubt so when I read that Montmorency cherries (also known as tart cherries) are one of only a few foods that naturally contain melatonin, I didn't hesitate in trying them. Our level of melatonin fluctuates with age, so tart cherry capsules are especially beneficial later in life, when levels are believed to decrease. I chose Swiss BioEnergetics as I am a long term user of their Lycopene capsules which have outperformed all the other more expensive ones I have tried. Together with the melatonin Montmorency cherries are a rich source of potent antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, flavonoids which benefit heart health as well as being anti inflammatory. I take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 at night, there are no side effects and unlike other sleep aids they do not actually cause any drowsiness. They took a few weeks before I noticed any difference so it's not a quick fix but now I am finally no longer waking up at 4am every morning and instead of taking hours to fall asleep, I'm falling asleep in only half an hour or so and as I haven't changed any other of my regimes I can only put it down to the Montmorency cherry capsules. The other remedies I have tried for my insomina are Valerian, Hops, Hawthorn Berries, 5-HTP (also very effective), Passion Flower and Nytol. These Montmorency cherries have outperformed all of those remedies and as such I will be taking them on a regular basis - anything to avoid the dreaded insomnia.

I bought this a few months ago to help with sleep but didn’t feel like it helped at the time, plus I was trying out other sleeping aides. I don’t think I tried it for long enough. It’s now been a week since taking 2 tablets a night before bed and it has actually helped me stay asleep, or if I do wake up in the middle of the night I can get back to sleep easier than before! I have tried loads of things including, nytol, chamomile teas, even allergy pills when that desperate after days of not sleeping! I’ve only experienced sleepless nights in the last couple of years, previously being someone who could sleep for 10 hours if left to it, but life circs and perimenopause had other plans for me, so I’m so glad I’ve finally found something that works! Long may it continue!!! Now just waiting to see if it helps with my achy shoulder, here’s hoping!

Thought I would write a review after 2 years of taking these. I was in pain with gout for years and always took anti inflammatory tablets to deal with it but as people with gout know it just comes back time and time again. I decided to try these. I take 2 before bed every night without fail and I have not had gout since. I call them my miracle pill lol. I will never stop taking these now. A small price to pay for a pain free foot. Great product.

seems to be manufactured at a high standard, packaging came sealed, and product seems consistent. as far as noticeable effects after taking 2 a day for 45 days. Nothing really. maybe they boosted my immune system maybe not. I wont be buying these again purely because i have found alternatives that are cheaper and of the same quality. but if you are down with the cherry then give em a go boys

Amazing for joint flair ups

I have been taking these for over a year & can wholeheartedly recommend them for improved sleep. Before I started taking them, I used get up to use the toilet up to five times in the night. Since taking them, that has reduced to one time - for me they are a game-changer as far as sleeping is concerned.

Value for money.
