Questions We Get Every Day
I've tried tart cherry before. It didn't work.
I've tried tart cherry before. It didn't work.
Here's a test you can run on any bottle you already own: open a capsule and look at the powder. Most tart cherry supplements are heat-processed — the powder comes out pale pink or beige, because heat destroys the anthocyanins that do the work. Cold-extracted tart cherry stays deep, dark red. If your last bottle was pale, you weren't taking what you thought you were taking. Your last bottle wasn't your fault.
How long before I notice anything?
How long before I notice anything?
Sleep usually shifts first — most people notice something in the first one to two weeks. Morning stiffness and recovery tend to follow later, around weeks three to six. Weeks one and two can feel like nothing at all, and that's normal. That's exactly why we give you 90 days instead of 30 — you need enough time to actually find out.
What's actually in it?
What's actually in it?
Montmorency tart cherry extract. That's it. No fillers, no sugar, no artificial colours, no "proprietary blend" hiding behind a trademark. Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO. Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in the USA and third-party lab tested for identity and purity.
Is "3,600 mg" real, or marketing math?
Is "3,600 mg" real, or marketing math?
It's an equivalence, and we'd rather say so plainly. Each serving contains 360 mg of a 10:1 cold-pressed Montmorency extract — the botanical equivalent of 3,600 mg of tart cherry fruit. The number that actually matters isn't the milligrams on the front of the bottle, it's how much anthocyanin survives the extraction. Cold extraction is how we protect it.
Can I take this with my medication?
Can I take this with my medication?
Tart cherry extract is a food-based supplement, not a drug, and it isn't a replacement for anything your doctor has prescribed. Don't stop a prescribed medication to try it. If you're on blood thinners, or you have a kidney condition, show your doctor the label before you start — that's the right call with any new supplement, including this one.
Will it make me groggy in the morning?
Will it make me groggy in the morning?
It isn't a sedative and it doesn't contain one, so there's no morning hangover to sleep off. If you find yourself feeling alert rather than sleepy after taking it, move your serving earlier and take it with dinner instead of right before bed.
Why does this cost more than the bottle at the drugstore?
Why does this cost more than the bottle at the drugstore?
Cold extraction is slower and more expensive than heat processing, and third-party testing every batch costs money that a cheaper bottle simply doesn't spend. On a three-bottle order it works out to about $1.11 a day. And the cheaper bottle is usually the pale pink powder from the first question on this list.
How do I take it?
How do I take it?
Two capsules in the evening, with or without food. One bottle holds 60 capsules — that's a 30-day supply.
What if it doesn't work for me?

She actually reminded me to reorder.
My wife has arthritis in her hands and knees, and mornings were the worst of it. Stiff for the first hour, and some days she'd skip the garden altogether. She's stubborn about supplements and thought the whole thing was nonsense, but I got her to try Dear Martina after I read about tart cherries. She's been taking it daily for about 4 months and mornings just aren't the event they used to be. She actually reminded ME to reorder when we were running low, which tells you everything you need to know.

First one that actually worked for my knee pain.
I've tried probably 6 or 7 different cherry supplements over the past three years for my knee pain from an old soccer injury. Most did absolutely nothing, one made my stomach upset. Dear Martina is the first one where I noticed a difference within about 10 days. I can go up and down stairs at work without that sharp pain I'd gotten so used to. My physical therapist even commented that my range of motion improved. I'm on my third bottle now and plan to keep ordering.
Melissa T.Age 47Verified Customer -
EDIT: Dear Martina reached out within 24 hours and sent the missing bottle right away, no hassle at all. Their customer support is genuinely great and I would absolutely recommend them. The product itself has been working really well for my joints, updating this so others know they stand behind their orders.
Product is great, had a small order issue.
I ordered the 3-bottle bundle and only received 2. Frustrating when you're trying to stay consistent with a supplement routine. That's the only reason this isn't 5 stars. The product itself is doing what I hoped. I've noticed less stiffness in the mornings after about 3 weeks. Just needed the order to be right.
Robert C.Age 59Verified Customer -
My doctor asked what I'd been doing differently.
Look, I'm generally skeptical of supplements. But my sister kept bugging me to try this for my knees and I figured what the hell. Three months in and I have to eat my words. I got up off the exam table at my last check-up without the usual groaning and grabbing, and my doctor asked what I'd been doing differently. I still do my stretches and I'm still careful on stairs, but I genuinely think this is helping. The capsules are easy to take and don't upset my stomach like some supplements do.
Frank D.Age 61Verified Customer -
I can grip my coffee mug comfortably now.
I wake up every morning with stiff hands and wrists. Part of getting older I guess, I'm 67. It would take me a good hour or two before I could really use my hands properly. Started taking Dear Martina about six weeks ago and the difference is remarkable. I still have some stiffness but it's maybe 30% of what it was, and it goes away much faster. I can have my coffee and actually grip the mug comfortably now. Small thing but huge quality of life improvement.
Elaine W.Age 67Verified Customer -
The first routine that actually stuck
Ten weeks in and I'm still taking it every day, which honestly never happens with me. Most supplements end up in the back of a drawer by week three. This one I reach for without thinking. My knees don't argue with the stairs the way they used to and I just feel more like myself.
Dennis R.Age 58Verified Customer -
Moving around the house like normal again
My knees have been bad for years and that first twenty minutes out of bed was rough every single day. After about two and a half weeks I noticed I was just walking to the kitchen without bracing for it. That hadn't happened in a long time.
Linda M.Age 62Verified Customer -
Keeping up with the grandkids
The grandkids visit on weekends and I'd been the grandpa in the chair. I'm up with them now, in the yard, doing the things. My daughter teared up a little. Two months on Dear Martina.
Howard M.Age 72Verified Customer -
My knitting circle wants the name
Three women in my knitting group asked what I'd started taking because I stopped complaining about my hands. I wrote it down for all of them. That's a real review if you ask me.
Margaret F.Age 74Verified Customer -
My checkup went better than expected
I won't get into numbers, but my last checkup went better than the one before and the only thing I changed was adding this. My doctor was pleased. I feel good about staying on it.
Gerald W.Age 68Verified Customer -
The cold-processed part is what sold me
I went looking for tart cherry after a checkup and most of what I found was heat-processed juice concentrate. The cold extraction is the reason I picked Dear Martina. Two months in, the comfort in my feet that used to come and go has settled down a lot.
Gary T.Age 66Verified Customer -
Buttoning a shirt without a fight
Little things tell you the most. Buttoning a shirt used to take real effort in the morning. It doesn't anymore. Five weeks. I keep the bottle by the coffee maker so I don't forget.
Joyce R.Age 70Verified Customer -
Golf two days in a row, no payback
Played 18 holes Saturday and Sunday back to back, something I'd stopped doing because Monday was always rough. Felt fine this week. I've been on Dear Martina about two months.
Richard H.Age 60Verified Customer -
Back to full training without the soreness
I coach youth baseball and my joints were taking a beating. The soreness in my shoulder and hip was getting bad enough that I thought about cutting back. Six weeks on Dear Martina and the difference is real. Back to full sessions and recovering fine.
Mike P.Age 54Verified Customer -
The first hour of my day is mine again
I used to lose the first hour of every morning just waiting to loosen up. That hour is mine again. Took about three weeks. I'm not exaggerating when I say it changed how I feel about mornings.
Deborah L.Age 58Verified Customer -
Skeptical, then I reordered
I'll be honest, I thought this was money down the drain. My wife talked me into it. I'm reordering, so there's my answer. The comfort in my knees is noticeably better and I'm not the type to make that up.
Larry B.Age 64Verified Customer -
Fishing all day like I used to
A full day on the boat used to mean two days recovering. Not anymore. I've got my Saturdays back. Two months on Dear Martina and I tell everyone at the dock about it.
Roger T.Age 70Verified Customer -
My gardening hands thank me
I'm in the garden most days and my hands would ache by the afternoon. A month into Dear Martina and I can put in a full session without that deep ache afterward. I bought a second bottle for my sister.
Susan B.Age 63Verified Customer -
Lifting again without the dread
I'd been skipping the gym because recovery was miserable. Started Dear Martina, gave it a month, and I'm back three times a week. The soreness is normal-soreness now, not the deep kind.
Steve N.Age 55Verified Customer -
Long drives don't lock me up
We drive to see family, about six hours each way. I used to get out of the car barely able to straighten up. Last trip I just got out and walked. Didn't expect that from a cherry capsule.
Ron C.Age 67Verified Customer -
Walking the dog the long way again
My wife and I have a dog and I'd been taking the short loop because the long one left me sore. We're back to the long loop. Simple thing but it matters to me.
Tom S.Age 73Verified Customer -
Weekend projects without paying for it
I do a lot of work around the house on weekends. Mondays used to be brutal. Six weeks on this and Monday is just Monday now. That's worth the price to me.
Wayne D.Age 62Verified Customer -
Stairs at work stopped being a thing
I work in a two-story building and the stairs had become something I planned around. Now I just take them. I didn't even notice when it changed, my wife pointed it out.
James A.Age 71Verified Customer -
Glad I went with the cold-extracted one
I did my homework before buying. The cold extraction and the single ingredient were what convinced me. Eight weeks in and my feet feel steady. No complaints, easy to take.
Ken H.Age 63Verified Customer -
Good results, took its time
Solid product. It took closer to five weeks for me rather than the two I'd hoped, but the improvement in my hips is steady and real. Four stars because of the wait. Sticking with it.
Doug P.Age 57Verified Customer -
Decent, slower for me than I hoped
It's doing something, I'll give it that. My mornings are a little easier after about five weeks. I expected faster based on what I read, so three stars. I'll finish the bottle and see where I land.
Walter G.Age 69Verified Customer -
Happy with it, shipping was slow once
The product works, my knees are better after about a month. One shipment ran late which was annoying when you're trying to stay consistent. Support sorted it out. Four stars, would still recommend.
Carl W.Age 60Verified Customer -
Doing something, just not dramatic
Two months in. My knees feel a little better on most days, but it's a modest change, not the night-and-day stuff some folks describe. Three stars feels fair for where I'm at. I'll keep taking it and update if that changes.
Eugene K.Age 61Verified Customer -
Mixed results so far
Some mornings I get moving noticeably easier and some mornings I can't tell the difference. It's been about six weeks. Easy to take and no complaints there, I just wish it was more consistent for me. Three stars for now.
Barb S.Age 66Verified Customer -
Didn't see much change for me
I gave it a full two months and honestly didn't notice the difference so many others describe. I wanted to. Everyone's body is different and I can see it working for plenty of people, it just wasn't the one for me. The team was friendly when I reached out, so two stars rather than one.
Gail P.Age 63Verified Customer -
Not the right fit for me
Honestly I didn't stick with it long enough, maybe three weeks, and I didn't feel a change in that window. My order also took a while to show up. It just wasn't the right fit for me, though I can see it working for others who give it more time.
