120 caps | | | Stock #: 247501 | | | Description: An attack of gout can come without warning, causing excruciating pain and swelling in one or more joints. Typically affecting middle-aged men, gout can be hereditary and is more common in those with obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Gout is a type of arthritis in which uric acid crystals collect in a joint(often the base of a big toe, an ankle or knee) and produce swelling and intense, needle-like jabs of pain. These symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. Many gout sufferers do have a relapse of symptoms, and those with chronic cases may require medical attention to prevent damage to joints, tendons and kidneys. | | | Benefits & How it Works: The pain and swelling of gout is the body's reaction to uric acid crystals irritating a joint. Uric acid is a naturally occurring byproduct of various bodily processes, including digestion. Normally it is filtered through the kidneys and excreted in the urine before problems occur. However, some people produce too much uric acid, or their kidneys cannot excrete it quickly enough, and trouble arises. Certain foods are rich in a uric acid precursor called purine and should be avoided by those with gout. These include anchovies, asparagus, consomme, herring, meat gravies, mushrooms, mussels, sardines and sweetbreads. Alcohol also increases uric acid production and should therefore be avoided by gout sufferers. | | Dosages & Ingredients: Black Cherry Powder Extract..........100 mg

Goutrin is comprised of:
BLACK CHERRY POWDER EXTRACT
Scientists suspect that compounds in cherries inhibit enzymes (cyclooxegenase I and II) involved in the inflammatory response, thereby relieving pain and discomfort. Cherries also contain compounds which inhibit another enzyme, xanthine oxidase, needed in the production of uric acid. Inhibiting this enzyme means lower uric acid levels and an improvement in symptoms.
THYME & MINT
Research shows that thyme contains a valuable component called thymol,which accounts for its reduction of the rheumatic pain of gout. Thyme also has diuretic properties, allowing the kidneys to more effectively rid the body of excess uric acid. Mint, another age-old herbal remedy, has diuretic properties too and, like black cherry, contains xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Again, these compounds help reduce uric acid levels to speed up recovery.
CELERY SEED POWDER
Celery seed extract helps neutralize acids, including the gout-producing uric acid. Celery is also a very effective diuretic, again to aid the kidneys in flushing out excess uric acid.Celery Seed is also very beneficial in lowering high blood pressure.
VITAMIN C (calcium ascorbate)
First, it's an effective anti-inflammatory. Vitamin C also breaks down fibrin, a substance involved in the inflammatory response. Second, vitamin C is essential in the formation of collagen, a type of protein needed for healthy joints and other connective tissues. Third, studies show vitamin C reduces uric acid levels from blood and tissues.
