Tart Cherry

Definitely helps to keep my painful gout away.

SEVERAL TEARS AFTER THE FOLLOWING REVIEW (I’m now 62)…I put aside my “don’t want to take a pill every day” ethos, and started taking Allopurinol, the gold standard RX to deal with gout. Glad I did. IT IS THE CURE! And as a side note: Want to stop even a bad attack in its tracks? Skip the colchicine. PREDNISONE! This is the true Gospel on Gout! Here’s my old review anyway: I'M 56. I STARTED HAVING GOUT ATTACKS AT ABOUT 40...AND THEY WERE SOMETIMES HORRIFIC, AND LASTED FOR DAYS. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND THEREFORE DID NOTHING TO REMEDY THEM. ONCE THE WORD "GOUT" STARTED TO BECOME BETTER KNOWN, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT I HAD IT...AND THAT MY EATING AND BEER DRINKING HABITS WERE CAUSING ME TO HAVE MANY ATTACKS A YEAR, MANY HANDLABLE, SOME STILL DEVASTATING. THE FIRST THING I DID THAT SEEMED TO HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT WAS TAKING SOLARAY TRIPLE STRENGTH TART CHERRY CAPSULES. THEY REDUCED MY ATTACKS SIGNIFICANTLY (DESPITE KEEPING UP MY BEER DRINKING HABIT...YET STAYING AWAY FROM FOODS KNOWN TO BE TRIGGERS), YET I STILL HAD MINOR AND MODERATE ONES PERIODICALLY, AND ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, I HAD A FEW AWFUL ATTACKS, WHICH LED TO ME TO TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTIONS. AT THAT TIME, I ADDED TAKING A SINGLE SOLARAY CELERY SEED EXTRACT CAPSULE AT NIGHT, AND...I STARTED TO HAVE A FULL SHOT GLASS OF BRAGGS APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WITH BREAKFAST, AND ANOTHER LATER IN THE DAY...EVERY DAY. IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, MY ATTACKS HAVE DWINDLED TO ALMOST NOTHING, ALL WHILE STILL DRINKING BEER MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. I STILL STAY AWAY FROM THE FOODS THAT THEY IDENTIFY AS TRIGGERS (OR THE ONES WHICH YOU KNOW PERSONALLY ARE YOUR TRIGGERS)...YET NOT AS STRINGENTLY AS I USED TO. BOTTOM LINE: I HAVE ACHIEVED SOMETHING VERY CLOSE TO A CURE, WHILE NOT ALTERING MY EATING OR DRINKING HABITS VERY MUCH AT ALL...YET IT TOOK ALL 3 THINGS I'VE MENTIONED TO DO SO. AND...I SHOULD STATE, ALL 3 THINGS MENTIONED HAVE OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS. PLEASE NOTE...EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT, AND WHAT WORKS FOR ONE DOESN'T NECESSARILY WORK FOR ALL. AND YET, I FEEL LIKE A TOTAL WINNER BASED ON THE ABOVE, AND IT MAY WORK FOR YOU TOO. I THINK THE KEY IS MULTIPLE ANGLES OF ATTACK. GOOD LUCK!

Great quality and guaranteed potency. My go to when fighting off gout flare ups or inflammation. Even greater benefits when paired with Solaray's Uric Acid Cleanse.

Been using tart cherry for pain relief for myself and my dog's arthritis for a couple years now with great results. I have found, through the years, that if I can get a dose of ibuprophen in me before my visual aura (preceding a migraine) ends, I can avoid the worst of the coming migraine, even to the point it is hardly noticeable. I've found I can do the same thing tart cherry. First I used the concentrate, mixing it with water. Then I tried these. I get the best result from the concentrate, but then you're also dealing with all those carbs. The effectiveness of these capsules is very close to the concentrate, and I rely on this product now, only very rarely needing to resort to ibuprophen. I notice a significant improvement in my dog's pain levels after giving her a capsule. Tart cherry works very well, and this product is excellent.

pain is definitely not as bad after about 3 weeks of use. Pills get stuck in my throat when I take them. If I drink them with milk they go down easier.

How many times do people have to tell you... do not buy the regular tart cherry.. you have to buy the triple strength or don't buy it at all... You got it .. for sick of seeing your bad reviews cuz you're are buying the wrong one!

I had lots of joint pains and one of my fingers was so inflamed that I could hardly bend it so I thought I'd give this product a try. The results are absolutely amazing. My joint pains and stiffness has subsided by 80% and my finger only hurts if I accidentally put too much pressure on it or bend it backwards. I couldn't be happier with the results. Maybe this product doesn't work for everyone but I would suggest to definitely give it a try if you feel stiff and achy on a daily basis.

I retired five years ago. The job I had required heavy lifting and I had no problems. About a year after, I had pain on the front of my kneecap when walking up the steps. I started taking tart cherry capsules (2 a day). After about a month the pain was gone! It's been several years now and other than a very, very rare flare up I am pain free. I know, like most things it doesn't work for everyone but if you have joint pain it's worth a try!
