What does the study involve?
The goal of this study is to see how drinking tart cherry juice may impact sleep in older adults. The study will involve a total of 7 study visits over 12 weeks. Participants will be asked to consume a tart cherry juice for 4 weeks and a placebo juice for 4 weeks. All study participants will consume both juices. Participants will also be asked to wear a study watch that tracks their sleep data throughout the study. Study visits will include health questionnaires, diet records, 4 blood draws, 4 urine samples as well as some optional assessments. Participants can earn up to $550 when completing all study visits and optional assessments. Parking/transportation can be provided for the study.
