Journal of Complementary Medicine - Tart Cherry Powder and Magnesium L-Threonate

leep quality and cognitive function are critical to overall health and daily productivity. Sleep disturbances and cognitive decline are interconnected, creating a cycle that exacerbates both issues. Tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) and magnesium L-threonate have been independently studied for their positive effects on sleep and cognitive health. Tart cherry is known to enhance sleep through its high melatonin content, while magnesium L-threonate supports neuroplasticity and cognitive performance. However, the combined effects of these two supplements remain unexplored. Objective: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of tart cherry and magnesium L-threonate supplementation on cognitive function and sleep architecture in healthy adults.
