View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1. Where can I buy tart cherry juice?
- Frozen tart cherries can be purchased at Costco, wholesale supermarkets, Amazon, Rakuten, etc. Tart cherry juice (100% juice) is also available for purchase in the same places. While regular sweet cherries also have benefits, tart cherries are generally considered to have a higher melatonin content.
- Q2. How long does it take for sleep-enhancing juice to show effects?
- Studies on tart cherry juice have shown improved sleep duration and efficiency after 2 weeks of daily consumption. Kiwi studies have shown effects after 4 weeks of consistent use. If there is no improvement after 1-2 weeks, please also review your sleep environment (light, temperature, noise) and lifestyle habits (smartphones, caffeine).
- Q3. I take insomnia medication. Is it okay to drink juice with it?
