In the world of wellness and nutrition, homemade remedies often reign supreme. And what could be more delightful and nutritious than homemade tart cherry multivitamin gummies infused with grass-fed gelatin and desiccated glandular organ powder? These little treats not only satisfy your sweet tooth but also pack a powerful punch of nutrients that can support overall health and well-being. Let’s delve into the recipe and explore the benefits of each key ingredient.

The Power of Tart Cherries:

Tart cherries, also known as sour cherries, are a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. These little red gems have been linked to improved sleep, reduced muscle soreness, and even enhanced exercise recovery. By incorporating tart cherry juice into our homemade gummies, we’re harnessing the sleep-promoting benefits of natural melatonin. 

Tart cherries contain relatively high levels of melatonin compared to other fruits, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking natural remedies for sleep issues. Studies have shown that drinking tart cherry juice in the evening can not only increase melatonin levels but also improve sleep efficiency and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep.

Grass-Fed Gelatin:

A Nutrient-Dense Binder: Unlike traditional gelatin, which is derived from factory-farmed animals, grass-fed gelatin (< use code flourish10) boasts a higher nutrient profile. It’s rich in collagen, protein, and amino acids, which can support joint health, gut function, and skin elasticity. By using grass-fed gelatin as the binder for our gummies, we’re adding an extra layer of nutritional goodness to this delicious treat. Buy here: 

Desiccated Glandular Organ Powder:

Nature’s Multivitamin…Desiccated glandular organ powder (< use code flourish10) may sound exotic, but it’s actually a potent source of essential nutrients. Derived from animal organs like liver and kidney, this powder is packed with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that support overall health.
