The Evening Cherry Tonic
A simple ritual for winding down.
A little tart, a little refreshing, and wonderfully simple. This evening favorite combines antioxidant-rich tart cherry juice with the bright tang of apple cider vinegar for a refreshing way to end the day.
What You'll Need
2 tablespoons tart cherry concentrate
1–2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
6–8 ounces cold water or sparkling water
Ice, if desired
The Ritual
Combine the ingredients in your favorite glass, stir gently, and sip as part of your evening wind-down.
Some evenings call for a beautiful glass and a little ceremony. Others call for whatever's clean in the cabinet. Both count.
A GENTLE NOTE
Always dilute apple cider vinegar before drinking. Its acidity may aggravate reflux, irritate sensitive stomachs, or contribute to tooth enamel erosion.
A GENTLE NOTE
Research on glycine for sleep is promising but limited. Most sleep studies have used 3 grams before bedtime, while Thorne provides 1 gram per two-capsule serving. Follow product directions and consult your healthcare professional before using higher amounts, particularly if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
THORNE GLYCINE
Resftul Sleep & Relaxation Support
Why it's in the cabinet: Glycine is an amino acid that serves as a building block for collagen and acts as a neurotransmitter involved in nervous system regulation. Small human studies suggest that supplemental glycine may help improve subjective sleep quality and reduce next-day fatigue. Thorne offers a straightforward capsule formulation without unnecessary herbal blends.
I like it for: Supporting a restful nighttime routine, especially for those who prefer a gentle, non-melatonin approach to sleep. Glycine is also involved in collagen and glutathione production, making it an interesting amino acid beyond its potential sleep benefits.
