From cherries to Zzzs: Biona organic cherry juice

Biona Organic offers a nice line of organic grape and blueberry juices. And beetroot juice (from one of nature’s sweetest vegetables).

But its standout juice is the tart cherry, which tastes wonderful. And also is a natural sleeping aid. Tart cherries contain melatonin, the hormone that makes you sleep. Drink an hour before bedtime, for best effects.

Due to quercetin, avoid tart cherry juice if on blood thinners. 

Don’t leave open bottles around (this attracts ants, bees and wasps). 

This cherry juice is expensive. But then so are sleeping aids in health stores! And you only need a glass each night.

How does tart cherry juice help you sleep?

Cherries are naturally packed with plant compounds, and tart cherries in particular have attracted interest for their potential connection with sleep. Research has explored whether consuming tart cherry products may support sleep quality and duration, although the evidence is still developing and cherry juice should not be considered a cure for insomnia.

What makes cherries especially interesting is their natural melatonin content. Melatonin is a hormone involved in regulating the body’s sleep-wake cycle. Cherries also contain antioxidants and other naturally occurring compounds, making them an appealing addition to a balanced diet.

So while a glass of cherry juice isn’t a magic solution for sleepless nights, it could be a delicious part of a relaxing evening routine.

Creating your own bedtime ritual

Good sleep is about more than any single food or drink. Consistent sleep times, a relaxing environment, limiting caffeine later in the day and switching off from screens before bed can all contribute to healthy sleep habits.

Adding cherry juice to that routine can simply be another enjoyable step.

Try pouring a small glass of Biona Organic Cherry Juice as you begin to wind down for the evening. Pair it with a few minutes of reading, gentle stretching or simply putting your phone away and taking some time for yourself.
