The best-dried cherries in the world...As an added bonus, I believe they have helped with the pain and inflammation from my arthritis enormously! I was taking far too many pain meds because I have arthritic knees and am on my feet all day...Happy day for me! I now only take 2 pills a day.
Thank You.

I was feeling joint pain after vigorous exercise. I began taking a handful of these premium dried tart cherries daily. After one month of daily cherry consumption, I am pretty much pain-free. I was totally amazed! Thank you.

As I get older I use them in the middle of hikes to reduce knee and body pain. I now put them in salads, rice, eat them all the time -- and just generally enjoy them. Dried cherries and Omega-3 for older men is the way to go!!!

After suffering with a stiff and painful shoulder and not wanting another cortisone shot I ordered Traverse Bay dried cherries not expecting to see much improvement. I was wrong! Within 7-10 days I realized that I didn't have the constant, nagging pain.
