Customer reviews
Reviews were written in Polish and translated into English.
Honestly, I am shocked that I found this product. Before that I used only blackcurrant extract, and here I get 2 more standardised extracts on top. The whole pack costs less, and given the amount of polyphenols in a serving this product simply breaks the scale.

I had read somewhere earlier about tart cherry and blackcurrant extract in the context of sport and recovery, and I was looking for a product that would combine these ingredients in one. I see the effects not only in faster recovery but also in better sleep.

For you if:
- you have several hard sessions or a race in a short time
- you are going to a camp and do not want to carry juice
- you want a repeatable dose from three extracts
Used on the days around a race and the hardest sessions, for a few days before and after the effort. Two capsules give 498 mg of polyphenols from pomegranate, tart cherry and blackcurrant. There are 60 capsules in a pack.
Check whether polyphenols suit your training.
We ask the same things a sports dietitian asks at a first consultation.
- what to take, how much and when, for your training
- a schedule of servings and dates for the whole period

Who it is for
When it makes sense
- You are going to a camp or a race and do not want to carry juice.
- You want a repeatable dose from three standardised extracts.
- You know when your hardest week is and you plan the days before and after it.
It makes no sense every day all year round. The scheme covers the days around a race and the hardest sessions.
How to take it
Serving, timing, method
- How much
2 capsulesThe base serving, outside the race period.
- When
In a chosen periodOne way in regular training, another around a race.
- How
Take with waterStick to one agreed plan.
The race-period serving still needs to be agreed against the current label. If stomach complaints appear, stop taking it and have them checked.

A very good product. I clearly feel an improvement in sleep quality, and my whole body recovers much faster, especially during long and demanding training blocks. Using it regularly lets me rest better, so I can keep the quality of the following sessions high.

I came across the Athlecor polyphenols when I had a fairly hard training block before a race. Before that I took blackcurrant extract on its own, so here I liked that in one product I also get pomegranate and cherry.

I was not expecting a wow effect and there was not one 😄 But in a hard training block I feel that I recover more easily. A plus for me.

The polyphenols work for me and I definitely want to use them at UTMB. A good effect on sleep.
Łukasz Zdanowski
Great sleep after taking these capsules. A natural medicine doctor recommended it to me
Kazimierz Milewski
Specific amounts of polyphenols and standardised extracts, a shame it is so expensive.

Works great in heavy training blocks. My sport is pentathlon

The raw material and the batch test
The polyphenol content was measured by the Lodz University of Technology in the finished capsule: 630,7 mg in two capsules from the tested batch.
Batch AC-2.1-2602-01 was tested by the accredited J.S. Hamilton Poland laboratory, report 357241/26/GDY. Microorganisms and lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury were checked, the result meets the criterion.
Heavy metal results for this batch: lead 0.18 ± 0.05 mg/kg against a limit of 3.0 mg/kg, arsenic 0.058 ± 0.011 mg/kg, cadmium < 0.0010 mg/kg against a limit of 1.0 mg/kg, mercury 0.0022 ± 0.0004 mg/kg against a limit of 0.10 mg/kg. Every result with a limit is within the limit.
| Element | Result in this batch | EU limit |
|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | 0.18 ± 0.05 mg/kg | ≤ 3.0 mg/kg |
| Arsenic (As) | 0.058 ± 0.011 mg/kg | no EU limit |
| Cadmium (Cd) | < 0.0010 mg/kg | ≤ 1.0 mg/kg |

A comparison from measurements, not from labels
Capsules or concentrate
from tart cherry
The polyphenol content of tart cherry concentrates differs several times over between brands. That is why we compare measurements made with the same class of method, not declarations on packs.
| Serving | Total polyphenols |
|---|---|
| ATHLECOR Polyphenols, 2 capsules | 630,7 mg |
| CherryActive concentrate, 30 ml bottle | 239 mg |
| CherryActive concentrate, 30 ml sachet | 208 mg |
| CherryActive capsules, 2 of them | 12 mg |
Our result: Lodz University of Technology, report I54/04/2026/MS of 29.05.2026, tested batch. Active Edge results: Rickards L. et al.,Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition2022, 19(1), 336-348. In both papers polyphenols were determined by the Folin-Ciocâlteu method.
Two of our capsules match the content of three sachets of concentrate. In the paper cited, five sachets are needed to pass 1000 mg of polyphenols, the amount used in recovery studies. Our race-period serving, 4 capsules, is 1 261 mg of polyphenols from the measurement.

Good to know before buying
Have a question?
This product belongs in the taper before a race. Sleep, food and the training plan remain the basis. We do not describe supplementation as guaranteed antioxidant loading or as protection against a maximal effort.More in the guide (in Polish): Polifenole w okresie startowym: czego naprawdę dotyczą badania
Changes in sleep cannot be pinned on one mechanism across all the studies. The data cover specific cherry preparations and the groups studied. We do not promise deeper sleep after ATHLECOR, nor do we rule melatonin out as an explanation.More in the guide (in Polish): Cierpka wiśnia i sen: jak czytać wyniki badań, zanim uwierzysz w melatoninę
A dense match calendar was one of the contexts described by the author. We do not turn that into an automatic recommendation to take it all season. The plan and the serving have to fit the situation and the current product instructions.More in the guide (in Polish): Polifenole w okresie startowym: czego naprawdę dotyczą badania
In the studies collected in the Rojano-Ortega 2021 review, cherry and pomegranate juices and extracts were usually given for several days before the load and several days after it, at least 8 to 10 days in total. The schedule carries that layout over. Those studies covered specific juices and extracts, not this blend of three extracts, so we do not promise the same result.
Yes. You can buy every product on its own, without a bundle and without the survey. A bundle is the easier choice when you want the timings written out and the whole plan in one basket.

Amounts and servings come from the product label. Statements about what the ingredients do rest on the list of claims authorised in the European Union, and sports schedules on the publications named next to the sentence. The batch test report covers the tested sample, not how well the product works.
4 capsules a day in two portions of 2: from 4 to 7 days before the race, on race day and for 2 to 4 days after. Compare the serving for that period with the label on your pack.
One to two hours before effort is the timing from studies on anthocyanins and extracts. Our blend differs in raw material and in the amount of substance, so it does not reproduce that protocol directly.More in the guide (in Polish): Polifenole w okresie startowym: czego naprawdę dotyczą badania
The schedule is tied to training blocks and races. In a quieter period an open pack is not a reason to keep taking it.More in the guide (in Polish): Polifenole w okresie startowym: czego naprawdę dotyczą badania
No. Do not raise the serving beyond the schedule or beyond the label.
Yes, tolerance of extracts is individual. Try the product outside important races. If complaints get worse, stop taking it and find the cause.More in the guide (in Polish): Polyphenols: plan stosowania, tolerancja żołądka i ile porcji jest w opakowaniu
Check the ingredient lists, the instructions and the medicines you take. One product range does not mean every combination and every serving is right. Complex does not cover the whole need for micronutrients.More in the guide (in Polish): Polyphenols: plan stosowania, tolerancja żołądka i ile porcji jest w opakowaniu
Count the days. 7 days before the race, race day and 4 days after is 12 days, so 48 capsules at 4 a day. That leaves 12 capsules in the pack, which is 6 days at 2 a day.More in the guide (in Polish): Polyphenols: plan stosowania, tolerancja żołądka i ile porcji jest w opakowaniu
No. Vegetables and fruit give fibre, water and many other nutrients. An extract does not replace that.More in the guide (in Polish): Cierpka wiśnia i sen: jak czytać wyniki badań, zanim uwierzysz w melatoninę
