When it comes to working out, many are focused on the before and during but not so much on the after. However, if you want to stay in the game long, you need to prioritize recovering strong. That is why we created our new Tart Cherry with Ashwagandha Celsius. The latest edition of our fun, fruity flavors will give you the support you need for your daily workout routine. If you’re curious how exactly our new drink aids in recovery, we are breaking down some of the proven scientific benefits of our star ingredient, the tart cherry. 

Better Sleep:

Have you ever felt so excited after a workout that you’ve struggled to fall asleep? Well, tart cherries can help you fall asleep faster because they are packed with melatonin, a hormone that helps induce sleep (Cleveland Clinic, 2025). Getting a good night’s rest is critical to your long-term fitness goals, as sleep enables you to stay mentally alert and less fatigued to continue productive workouts (Nunez, 2020).  And with our Tart Cherry with Ashwagandha, we know your dreams will get sweeter, and your workouts will get better. 

Improved Immune System:

When you feel sick, you probably don’t want to leave your bed, let alone go to the gym and workout. That is why it is important to prioritize keeping your immune system strong to fight off colds and other illnesses. One way to help keep your immune system strong is to get plenty of vitamins. Luckily, tart cherries contain vitamins A and C, which you are recommended to consume daily (Stevens, 2024). And we can’t think of an easier and more delicious way to get your vitamins than by consuming our new Tart Cherry with Ashwagandha. 

Stay Less Sore:

A common saying in the fitness world is, “No pain, no gain.” However, at Celsius, we are all about maximizing the gain and minimizing the pain. How are you going to hold that plank longer, run that spring faster, or lift that heavier weight if your body is aching? To help your body bounce back after each workout, it is important to get plenty of antioxidants, which happen to be found in, you guessed it, tart cherries (Stevens, 2024). Having a can of Tart Cherry with Ashwagandha before your workout can decrease muscle soreness and any added inflammation, so you can keep pushing towards your personal best.

These are just some of the many recovery benefits we have cherry-picked from our delicious drink. If you are ready to kick off your post-workout recovery journey, head to your nearest Dick’s Sporting Goods store to find our new Tart Cherry with Ashwagandha.
