Tart Cherry Extract 2500 mg Vegetarian Capsules with Antioxidants and Flavonoids Non-GMO, 180 Count

I have been taking these once per day as a prevention to Gout attacks. Works wonderfully in my opinion!!

I very much like this product as I have tried others but this one works much better. I have osteoarthritis and learned through my own research that Tart Cherry, a natural product , os very helpful in reducing inflammation of the joints . To have fresh tart cherries ,not always available , not to mention the cost, these capsules are fantastic and the value is great. I am grateful for the mg. provided. They do not interfere with any prescribed meds, I take faithfully. I know they help and am glad to have found this vendor and their product. I will reorder and highly recommend. Thank you.

After 2 bottles of 360 capsules, i can definitely write a review for this product. my husband has issues with gout and we've tried everything from diet modification, maintenance medicines, and supplements to help him keep it at a normal level. One time, he had a really bad acute gout attack and was unable to walk for a few days! It's crazy. He has been on maintenance meds ever since. I didn't want him to have to keep taking it for good so we decided diet modification but it just doesn't work as we expected. His diet is so limited that he has to eat the same set of menu every week. I decided to give supplements a try instead. I bought this for him and he never had a gout attack over the last few months. In fact, we didn't realize that his uric acid levels were twice the amount he'd normally be getting gout attacks because he doesn't feel joint pains anymore. We still have to manage his uric acid levels but this has definitely help alleviate the pain from acute gout attacks.

I gave the product a trial of a little over a month for arthritic pain and joint inflamation. I thought it might be helping slightly, but also felt it might just be placebo effect. So, I tested going without it for the following month. However, by the second week, I noted some increasing discomfort. Coincidence? I finally added the product back to my regimen and after several days, I noted moderate improvement, once again. I'll take any improvement I can get, that allows me to decrease NSAIDS. The caps are easy to swallow, with no stomach upset or after taste, which sure beats trying to drink unsweetened, tart cherry juice. Effectiveness will likely depend on the issues being targeted. Frankly, some situations may have little response to cherry supplements. Even with prescription meds, one may work beautifully for one person, but have zero, or negative effects for another. Realistic trials may reap benefits, so it might be worth a go for you, if not otherwise contraindicated.

I was soooooo skeptical. So many people had told me that cherry would help my gout, but no... I was smarter than them. Yeah right. Finally I got desperate enough to give it a try... Let me back up. I was having gout flareups 3 to 4 times a year that would last a month or so. It was crazy painful. So finally I got desperate enough to give cherry a try. I could have saved myself a lot of pain for a lot of years if I had tried it earlier. I take 2 a day and have not had a flareup in 3 years. I actually went off of it for a couple of weeks just to see what would happen, yes the gout reared it's ugly painful head and I got the message loud and clear. Started right back up and it did get better. It may sound crazy to you too. It may not work for you. The only thing I know is that gout pain sucks. If you are suffering like I was, give it a try. If it works for you, enjoy! If not, I hope you can find something that does work for you!

Great product.

I've been using this product for awhile now and I do believe it was helpful in some areas such as blood pressure and inflammation. However I developed another issue that after some research I believe can be traced back to my use of these capsules. I started having bad nosebleeds that would start without cause (example- while showering reading or talking on the phone). These were substantial nosebleeds, not just a little drip, that took about 20 minutes to stop and would instantly restart if I moved too soon afterwards. Perhaps these capsules are too potent for me. In my research I discovered tart cherry can cause nosebleeds, and a recommended dosage is considered 480 or less mg per day. These are 2500 mg. I stopped taking them to see if it made a difference and in 3 days they ceased entirely. I made no other changes to my lifestyle, leading me to believe they were indeed the cause. I would like to continue with taking tart cherry, but for now I'm not out of an abundance of concern. Let me add that I do take other products produced by this company and have had no adverse reactions.

Works great on my gout

Would recommend. Thank you.
