Montmorency cherries are a natural way to lower uric acid levels and help stop gout attacks*

What is gout?

Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden and extremely painful attacks in the joints of the foot, knee, ankle, hand and wrist – especially the big toe.

It is a common joint condition affecting one in 14 men and one in 35 women. In men, it can occur any time after puberty, whereas in women it is uncommon before the menopause.

Gout is caused by excess uric acid in the bloodstream. An overload of uric acid can cause it to form into microscopic, needle-like, urate crystals in the joints, causing inflammation and intense pain.

"This product is great for anybody suffering from gout, not had any flare ups since I started taking CherryActive."  Bill Graham***

All of the cells in the human body, and many of the foods we eat, contain substances known as purines. As old cells are broken down, or as foods are digested, these purines are converted to uric acid, which is carried in the blood.

Most people with gout have high levels of uric acid in their blood because they do not pass enough in their urine, often due to inefficient kidney function. High levels of purines in the diet and certain medications like diuretics are also factors that increase the occurrence of gout.

"CherryActive was recommended to my by someone after telling them I had a touch of gout.  Being a bit sceptical I tried it as would anybody who has ever has a problem with gout and it seems to work." Stephan P***

How Montmorency cherries help beat gout 

Research from Northumbria University shows drinking Montmorency cherry juice lowers blood uric acid levels - helping reduce the frequency and severity of gout.
Montmorency cherries contain compounds called anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory properties - helping reduce the inflammation and pain associated with gout.
