I've been reading how tart cherries such as the montmorecy cherry is high in Melatonin.
Do you consider Acerola a tart cherry? Is this also high in melatonin? Would it work as a sleep aid?

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,721,576Not all cherries are created equal. The Acerola cherry is grown in south Texas, but the majority of the crop is grown in the Caribbean and Central America, so it's not really a cherry to compare to the Montmorency cherry.
The Montmorency is grown in Michigan, New York, Utah and Washington and it has the most amount of Melatonin in it. It greatly aids in sleep and helps to relieve gout and Arthritis pain.
If you want a high source of Melantion, get the tart cherry powder, according to the book Tart Cherry Health Report, the tart cherry powder has 137ng of melatonin, while the cherry juice only 100ng. So get the tart cherry powder.

I downloaded the free ebook. I have read alot about tart cherries already elsewhere but being 100 pages i'm hoping for lots more info.
I'm in the uk, so doubt i will order from there though. I ordered a load of herbs from MountainRose and had to pay a lot of custom duty before they would release it.
I've seen a few places that sell it here, but hope to know exactly what to look for after reading download. I suspect powder will work out cheaper as it normally does.
I'm going to enjoy reading it.
Thanks again- Re: Tart Cherries mingus

This is a reply to # 1,722,135Just out of curiosity, what was the percentage of custom duty did you paid in relation to the package value?

I've been reading how tart cherries such as the montmorecy cherry is high in Melatonin.
It is not as high in melatonin as the sales hype has made it out to be. Sunflower seeds are nearly twice as high and there are still other sources extremely higher. Check out the contents in these other plants:
http://www.dietaryfiberfood.com/melatonin-natural-sources.php
Melatonin: Natural food and non-food sources of melatonin Melatonin is a molecule synthesized in the brain by the pineal gland and in the gastrointestinal tract. Melatonin is also synthesized in other organisms including plants. Melatonin is believed to be responsible for the synchrony of circadian rhythm, modulating sleep patterns with day and night.
Melatonin is an antioxidant and protects tissues from oxidative damage byfree radical elements. Further more, melatonin induces synthesis of endigenous antioxidants such as superoxide dismtase (SOD).
Several researches indicate that melatonin protects the gastrointestinal tract from irritation, reduces stress-induced lesion formation and heals ulcer.
Below are lists containing natural plant sources of melatonin. Melatonin content is in nanogram (ng) per gram of plant sample.
Table 1:
Melatonin source Melatonin content (ng/g) Huang-qin 7,110 St. John’s wort, flower 4,390 Fever few, green leaf 2,450 Fever few, gold leaf 1,920 St. John’s wort, leaf 1,750 White mustard seed 189 Black mustard seed 129 Wolf berry seed 103 Fenugreek seed 43 Sunflower seed 29 Fennel seed 28 Alfalfa seed 16 Green cardamom seed 15 Tart cherry fruit (Montmorency) 15 Flax seed 12 Anise seed 7 Coriander seed 7 Celery seed 7 Poppy seed 6 Milk thistle seed 2 Tart cherry fruit (Balaton) 2 Table 2:
Melatonin source Melatonin content [ng/g] Feverfew, fresh leaf > 1,300Feverfew, dried leaf >7,000Almond seed 39Pimpinella peregrina, dried root 38Sunflower seed 29Fennel seed 28Lemon verbena, young plant 22Balm mint, young plant 16Green cardamom seed 15Art cherry, Montmorency, fruit 15–18Anise seed 7Tall fescue seed 5oat seed 1.8Indian corn seed 1.3Rice seed 1Red radish root tuber 0.6Japanese radish , stem and leaves 0.6Tomato fruit 0.5Ginger tuber 0.5Banana fruit 0.5

Wow! St john's Wort is high. Don't really like taking that though.
What about the claim that tart cherries are good for joints? Inflammation?
Is it worth buying?
There is a product that has 100 freeze dried cherries in each capsule.
I bet Cherry powder in almond milk would taste good. Fresh Cherries aren't available all year round, so would either the frozen or the freeze dried be next best option? I would not buy the juices as probably loaded with sugar.
Thanks

ThanksThe active component in tart cherries when it comes to joints and inflammation is the high malic acid content. Malic acid dissolves uric acid crystals, which is why tart cherries are frequently used to treat conditions like gout.
Green apples are also a good source of malic acid, or pure malic acid is readily available online, particularly from wine/beer making supply companies or places selling candy making supplies. Pure malic acid will get around the sugar issue altogether.

A little amount will go a long way . So I recommend about an 1/8 of a teaspoon three to four times daily. You can mix it is some juice or applesauce to make it easier to get down.

I've already started to take mag malate recently, with has malic acid in it. Is this sufficient?
I'm always a bit wary of taking too much magnesium, as quite often it starts my cramps off again. It seems to unbalance things somehow.
The mag malate i bought, only one i could find in HFS was was Malic Acid 720mg with Magnesum 116.7mg per cap 3 caps daily.
Is this okay?

Yes.

Is this okay?Yes, but I recommend only one capsule twice daily.

Would magnesium malate be just as good?
It will supply some malic acid, but the extra malic acid will provide even more benefit.
