"I have been amazed at the positive impact on my health since taking CherryActive. The improvement I would say was distinctly noticeable in 7 to 10 days. I am off to Austria skiing this Saturday and I'm not sure if this would be the case if I hadn't discovered your product. I have also sent my entry away for the British Seniors Club Pro's Championship in Norfolk come June, another big plus!"
Ricky Bowman, PGA Professional, Elderslie Golf Club
"I have just ordered my second consignment of CherryActive Capsules. I
have also passed the information to my doctor who was impressed to see the positive scientific studies. My uric acid levels have normalised over the past few months and I feel that CherryActive has been a major factor in this."

What Is Gout
Gout is a condition that causes pain, inflammation and swelling in one or more of the joints. It usually affects the big toe, but can develop in any joint in the body.
Gout often occurs in attacks that usually last for three to 10 days, after which the joint should feel normal and pain-free again. The attacks are almost impossible to predict and future attacks can be more frequent and last for longer.
Gout is caused by the build-up of uric acid (urate) in the bloodstream. Urate is a normally harmless waste product, produced by the body when it breaks down substances known as purines. Purines are found naturally in the body, in some foods and in certain alcohols, including beer, stout and port.
Gout affects around one in 200 adults, most commonly men between 30 and 60 years of age. Gout rarely affects women because they have a lower level of urate in their bloodstream. When women do develop it, it's usually after the start of the menopause.
A high level of uric acid may lead to it precipitating as microscopic, needle-like crystals in joint areas. These crystals may incite a significant inflammatory reaction called acute gouty arthritis. Acute attacks may last a few days to a few weeks and usually there are long periods between attacks.
Mostly, one joint becomes painful, red, hot, and swollen (inflamed) over a very short time. Very often the first joint to be affected is the big toe, just like the popular image of the person with gout, but in up to a third of people the attack starts elsewhere.
Sometimes more than one joint or soft tissues (muscles, tendons, tissues below the skin) may be affected by inflammation and sometimes hard, yellowish lumps are visible close beneath the skin (tophi).
Crystals may cause troubles elsewhere, sometimes leading to stones in the kidneys. Your doctor will be able to tell a lot from the speaking to and examining you. You may well also have a blood or joint fluid sample taken to test the uric acid level or to inspect the crystals under a microscope.
