Göutrin

GOUTRIN ® is Organika's answer to the pain of gout. GOUTRIN ® is a unique blend of anti-gout ingredients targeting all aspects of the disease: from reducing uric acid production and eliminating uric acid from the body, to relieving pain and preventing flare-ups.

Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by uric acid crystals. Uric acid is naturally produced in the body and is also found in foods such as animal proteins, alcoholic beverages and sugary drinks.

Normally, your body is able to dissolve uric acid in the blood and pass it on in the urine. However, overproduction or very low excretion can lead to overaccumulation of uric acid in the blood, also known as hyperuricemia. Gout occurs when uric acids accumulate in urate crystals in your joints. These crystals resemble needles, causing inflammation and severe pain.

GOUTRIN ® contains 100 mg of cherry powder, a dosage which induces a 35% reduction in gout attacks, compared with no supplementation. When combined with allopurinol, the risk of gout attacks was lower than during periods without either supplement. Cherry blocks the tubular reabsorption of urate and increases its excretion in the urine. Cherry juice may also block xanthine oxidase and reduce uric acid production.

30 mg of vitamin C, an excellent source of antioxidants, are included in the formula. Research shows that vitamin C intake is strongly associated with a reduced risk of gout, as it helps reduce uric acid levels in the blood. Vitamin C is an effective anti-inflammatory, as well as an essential nutrient for the formation of collagen, a protein required for healthy joints.

Celery seed contains natural phytochemicals that help relieve pain. Celery seed is used primarily as a diuretic, which means it helps your body evacuate excess water by increasing urine production. Celery seed contains several substances, including volatile oils, flavonoids and antioxidants (which can protect cells from free radical damage); coumarins (chemicals that help thin the blood); and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). Celery seed powder helps neutralize acids in the body. It is also sometimes used to help reduce muscle spasms, calm nerves and reduce inflammation.

Apigenin, a flavonoid found in large quantities in thyme and peppermint, is a powerful inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. This molecule catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine into xanthine and uric acid, thus limiting uric acid production in the body. Menthol also has a calming and numbing effect on muscles, as well as a diuretic effect on the body (increases urine production).

Thyme herb contains thymol, an essential oil with scientifically established antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. Other volatile thyme oils include carvacrol, borneol and geraniols.

GOUTRIN ® provides a genuine solution for all aspects of gout.
