Cheribundi
Cheribundi is a consumer branded beverage business based in the inherent/natural health benefits of tart cherries, which are proven to provide significant benefits beyond basic nutrition to improve athletic performance and health. Cherries have been shown to contain a number of powerful antioxidants and other naturally occurring bioactive components, particularly natural pain relievers and melatonin. Likewise, studies indicate that cherries are a significant source of anthocyanins, which have been shown to inhibit a certain cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme used by the body to signal pain and inflammation. The presence of such COX 1 and COX 2 inhibitors is a major benefit of tart cherry juice consumption. From its inception, Cheribundi has pursued and built upon the science that supports the product's value proposition to consumers.
