Tart Cherry Juice
for Insomnia
Consuming 240ml of tart (Montmorency) cherry juice twice daily as a natural source of melatonin and sleep-promoting phytochemicals.
How it works
Tart cherries contain melatonin, tryptophan, and procyanidins that increase melatonin levels and reduce inflammation. Also inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), increasing tryptophan availability for serotonin and melatonin synthesis.
What to watch for
Use unsweetened, concentrated tart cherry juice — not sweet cherry or generic fruit juice. High in natural sugar; consider this if managing blood glucose. Less potent than melatonin supplements.
