Recognizing a need for high-quality, polyphenol-standardized cherry ingredients, CherryCraft was developed to cater to diverse needs.

CherryCraft is unique in its ability to deliver a range of extracts with guaranteed polyphenol levels from 1% to 14%. Unlike simple cherry powders which may vary in polyphenol content from batch to batch, CherryCraft is produced using an advanced, yet gentle membrane extraction process that ensures consistency and potency. Each extract guarantees precise polyphenol concentrations, enabling manufacturers to choose the specific level that aligns with their desired product benefits as well as meeting cost requirements.

The CherryCraft line is derived from premium-quality cherries cultivated in pristine orchards. These cherries are carefully selected for their taste, vibrant color, and high polyphenol content. Employing state-of-the-art extraction techniques, CherryCraft ensures that the essence of these cherries is preserved to deliver maximum potency and bioavailability.

“We are excited to introduce our expanded CherryCraft line to meet the needs of our customers,” said Leslie Gallo, president of Artemis. “With our standardized polyphenol levels, finished product brands and formulators can confidently incorporate CherryCraft into their products, knowing they are receiving the potency they need. We believe in the power of cherry polyphenols and their positive impact on health, with significant benefits in sports formulations. We are pleased to offer our customers a range of extracts that cater to diverse needs and preferences. With clinical studies currently underway, we plan for CherryCraft to be the most clinically validated cherry extract on the market.”
