In this study, they consumed cherry juice or cherries for 3 days before the exercise, and received significant recovery benefit after continuing the consumption of the cherries for a couple days afterwards.

I have used tart cherry juice for treating gout, which was also effective.
For "exercise recovery..."  3 days prior, the day of, and four subsequent days... = 8 days a week?!
"Okay barkeep, keep lining them up!" I've probably got 3 "days of" a week, my guess is that resets the clock?

reminder: add tart cherry juice to "subscribe and save" order...

Yes, it's often prescribed by doctors for gout.

This was a meta study, but they admitted that there haven't been that many studies for recovery so far.  The limited ones that took the cherries afterwards didn't seem to get much benefit.  It sounds like for the 3 days before and a couple of days afterwards.  I think on a practical basis, they have a bottle of cherry juice in the fridge.  They pour a shot to a cup per day.

I have the cherries themselves.  The skins are supposed to be the most medicinal part.  

I look forward to more studies.

Pie cherries are one of my favorite fruits and I grow a lot of them, so I will eat them for the known benefits and the flavor first until this gets more established. But it is promising research.  I'm 60 and I play in a competitive baseball league, which leads me to need recovery.
