MONT Launches Tart Cherry Recovery for Endurance Athletes

What’s Happending?

MONT has officially exited pre-order and launched its first product: Tart Cherry Recovery, a purpose-built recovery drink designed for runners, cyclists, and endurance athletes operating under high oxidative stress.

Rather than chasing trends, MONT is betting on a proven recovery input — tart cherry extract — delivered in a cleaner, more functional format built for real training blocks, not casual workouts.

‍

What’s Inside

MONT’s Tart Cherry Recovery is formulated for immediate post-effort use, when inflammation is highest and recovery signals matter most.

Each sachet delivers:

• 65 mg anthocyanins + 350 mg polyphenols from world-class tart cherry extract
• Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) to replace minerals lost in sweat
• Minimal carbohydrates to improve polyphenol bioavailability without excess sugar

The result: reduced muscle soreness, faster recovery, and better readiness for back-to-back training days.

Why Tart Cherry Still Wins

Tart cherry polyphenols — particularly anthocyanins — are well-documented for their ability to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation without blunting training adaptations.

Pro cycling teams like EF Education–EasyPost have leaned on tart cherry as a foundational recovery input, citing improved next-day performance and reduced soreness during demanding race schedules.

MONT’s approach strips away juice concentrates and excess sugars, delivering a standardized, portable, and athlete-first recovery tool.

Built for Real Training

• Designed for Zone 4–5 efforts
• Ideal for multi-day races, heavy training blocks, and travel
• Mix with 500 ml of water immediately post-session
• Gluten-free, non-GMO, athlete-focused

At $3.90 per serving, MONT positions Tart Cherry Recovery as a premium but practical staple for endurance athletes who care about durability, not shortcuts.

The Playbook Take

MONT isn’t trying to reinvent recovery — it’s refining it.

As endurance athletes move away from sugar-heavy recovery drinks and toward targeted, evidence-backed inputs, tart cherry is having a quiet resurgence. MONT’s launch reflects a broader shift toward simpler formulas, clearer use cases, and performance over marketing noise.

I'm currently training for the Malibu 100k and Saddles 100 miler this year and I notice a massive difference intergrating tart cherry juice into my recovery nutrition stack. Super excited to try this product.
