Immune
Our Uric Acid Formula supplement, a unique blend of vitamins and herbal extracts, provides support for the healthy breakdown of uric acid. Uric acid is a natural end-product of purines—a chemical compound that cells use to make the building blocks of DNA and RNA. This supplement also supports healthy liver enzyme activity.‡
Potassium citrate is included to support urinary alkalization, which promotes healthy breakdown of uric acid. Devil’s claw and the important enzyme bromelain support immune defense. Cherries have been used traditionally for decades to enhance healthy uric acid breakdown. Additionally, anthocyanins in cherries and grape seed act as free radical scavengers. This product is not intended to replace any dietary protocols recommended by a health professional.‡
How To Use
1 capsule, 2 times daily, between meals, or as directed by a health professional.
Science & Research
In a population-based study of almost 1,400 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, vitamin C intake may have been associated with healthy serum uric acid breakdown. In another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, vitamin C supplementation may have supported healthy serum uric acid excretion. The bioflavonoid quercetin has been associated with similar effects.‡
Research shows that eating cherries regularly maintains healthy levels of plasma urate, a salt from uric acid.
