How can CherryVite Stop Gout Attacks?

Gout is an excruciatingly painful form of arthritis, whereby a build up of uric acid in the bloodstream gives rise to the deposit of microscopic, needle-like crystals of sodium urate in tissues and joints, causing an inflammatory reaction and severe pain.

The increase in blood uric acid results from increased purine intake (purines are precursors of uric acid), or increased production, or from decreased uric acid elimination by the kidneys, or a combination of all these. In most (75%-90%) people with gout, clearance of uric acid by the kidney is significantly reduced.

A well-cited, recent, research study at the University of California has demonstrated that cherry consumption lowers plasma urate levels. The study concludes that the decrease in plasma urate after cherry consumption supports the anti-gout reputation of cherries

How can CherryVite Stop my Arthritis Pain?

The body produces enzymes Cyclooxygenase -1 and -2 (commonly known as COX 1 and COX 2), in response to a variety of conditions, giving rise to inflammation in tissues and joints. This inflammation is the cause of intense pain in many Arthritis and Gout sufferers.

Drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, [NSAIDs]), work by inhibiting the COX enzymes. Unfortunately, patients taking these types of pain medication regularly, may suffer side effects, including upset stomachs, vomiting, kidney damage or ulcers.

Researchers at Michigan State University were among the first to identify the presence of three powerful anthocyanins and bioflavonoids in tart cherries. These function in the same manner as NSAIDs and can inhibit both COX enzymes. However, research also shows that flavonoids can protect against stomach damage, unlike their NSAID counterparts and may therefore prevent the unwanted symptoms of NSAIDs.

Many arthritis sufferers are turning to tart cherry products, such as CherryVite as an all-natural alternative to help combat their painful condition.

Can CherryVite Prevent Heart Disease?

The anthocyanins discovered in tart cherries may also protect artery walls from the damage that leads to plaque build up and heart disease. In fact, the latest research shows that anthocyanins do a better job of protecting arteries than vitamins C and E.

Can CherryVite Prevent Cancer?

Research at the University of Texas by world-renowned Melatonin expert, Dr. Russel J Reiter, has demonstrated that tart cherries, especially the Montmorency variety, contain a significant quantity of Melatonin, and is present in the form most readily utilised in the body. Melatonin has long been known to be the most powerful and important anti-oxidants, and an important key to disease prevention, including cancer and other degenerative diseases.

Will any cherry juice be good for me?

Although all fresh fruits, especially cherries, are full of goodness, tart cherries, specifically the Montmorency variety, have been found to be packed with compounds that can relieve inflammation, lower urate levels and which may prevent heart disease and cancer. On-going research at various, highly-regarded universities are slowly unlocking the secrets of the health-giving compounds contained within Montmorency Cherries.

What is the difference between Tart Cherries & the sweet ones?

Sweet cherries are grown primarily for fresh eating. The tart cherry, specificaly Montmorencies, have a distinctive, bright red colour. In fact, the same compounds that give tarts their colour contain the anti-oxidant compounds that give them their antioxidant properties that researchers are investigating.
