London drinks entrepreneur John Heseltine has launched a new version of his leading cherry juice brand Cherrygood to tap into the growing fitness market.

Cherrygood Plus is the latest product in the roll out of the brand in the UK and internationally. It is the first Cherrygood product to be available in health food stores.

The 500ml concentrated cherry juice is packed with the antioxidant punch of 1000 pressed Montmorency cherries. Research has shown that it contains the highest antioxidant level of any concentrated cherry juice product on the market. It costs £13.99 and is aimed at active, sporty men and women.

It is the second product launch in the past few months for the fast growing juice brand. Cherry Burst is the brand’s first product aimed at children and was launched exclusively in Morrisons in February.

According to industry experts Neilson, Cherrygood is growing three times faster than any other UK juice brand in the past five months. Cherrygood sales have grown by 86% in the last year and are forecast to grow by 166% this year. More products are set to launch later in the year.

Healthy Sales & Marketing, which specialises in health food brands, has been brought on board to handles sales of Cherrygood Plus. Orders have already been taken from Suma, Rainbow, Queenswood Natural Foods, Rainbow Wholefoods, Suma Wholefood, Essential, Irish Health Foods, Marigold and Tree of Life.

Drinking a 30ml portion of Cherrygood Plus provides one of your recommended five-a-day. It contains 100% concentrated Montmorency cherry juice and no added sugars, sweeteners, preservative, colours or flavours.

Cherrygood Plus is backed by extensive research and taking it regularly may help build muscle strength, improve muscle recovery, encourage healthy joints, promote normal uric acid levels, reduce inflammation associated with heart disease and arthritis, lower blood cholesterol levels, and encourage restorative sleep.

It contains Montmorency cherries which are higher in antioxidants than any other fruit. Tart cherries, like the Montmorency variety, are one of the richest sources of antioxidants, containing more than sweet cherries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries.

John Heseltine, the founder of Cherrygood, says: ‘We are delighted to launch Cherrygood Plus. It is our first venture into the specialist natural food sector and part of our ongoing strategy to dominate the cherry juice category through product innovation covering the whole family.

‘We were frequently being asked if we could produce a drink aimed at active, sporty people and we believe our 100% concentrated Montmorency cherry juice meets their requirements perfectly.

‘We want Cherrygood products to become the drinks of choice for the whole family and felt there was a gap in the market for a 100% concentrated Montmorency cherry juice which packs an extra health punch.

‘Montmorency tart cherries are well known for their amazing health benefits which include improving the quality of sleep and speeding muscle recovery after exercise – perfect for today’s busy consumers.’
