Mont Tart Cherry Recovery: A post-workout drink mix built for endurance athletes

Mont has launched Tart Cherry Recovery, a drink mix formulated around tart cherry extract—an ingredient that’s become a staple for cyclists, runners, and endurance athletes looking to manage recovery after high-intensity training. Each serving delivers 65mg of anthocyanins and 350mg of polyphenols, plus electrolytes, in a portable sachet format.

What’s in the formula

Made with both gluten-free and non-GMO ingredients, Mont is designed to keep things simple:

• Tart cherry extract + vitamin E: The core recovery ingredients. The cherry extract is sourced from Poland using a solvent-free extraction method that preserves the whole-fruit matrix. Every batch is tested for polyphenol and anthocyanin concentration.
• Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, magnesium, and salt, which are the minerals you lose through sweat during long or intense sessions.
• Minimal carbohydrates: Small amounts of dextrose and honey powder, included specifically to support polyphenol bioavailability rather than as a fuel source. Total sugar and calories stay low.

Why tart cherry for recovery

Exercise triggers an acute inflammatory response, which is your body’s natural way of repairing tissue and building back stronger. But when that inflammation tips too far or lingers too long, recovery stalls. Tart cherry extract is rich in polyphenol antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which have been shown to help reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress and support balanced recovery after intense efforts.

How to use it

When. After high-intensity endurance efforts—post-training, post-race, or in the lead-up to major events like marathons, HYROX, or Ironman.

How. Mix one sachet with 500ml of water immediately after exertion. Don’t exceed two sachets per day.
