Gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, is a painful condition that affects millions worldwide. At Cherrish, we are dedicated to providing solutions rooted in nature to support individuals dealing with gout. One such solution may be found in Montmorency tart cherries, which have been linked to a decreased risk of recurring gout attacks.

Understanding Gout

Gout results from an overload of uric acid in the body, leading to the formation of urate crystals in the joints and causing painful inflammation. Diet plays a significant role in managing this condition, and certain foods, such as those rich in anthocyanins and other antioxidants, may help decrease uric acid levels. Enter the Montmorency tart cherry – a superfruit packed with these beneficial compounds.

Emerging Research on Cherries and Gout

Recent studies have begun to explore the relationship between cherry intake and the risk of recurrent gout attacks. In a prospective, case-crossover study involving 633 individuals with gout, cherry intake over a two-day period was associated with a 35% lower risk of gout attacks compared to no intake. Similarly, cherry extract intake showed a comparable inverse association. These effects persisted across various subgroups, including different sexes, obesity statuses, purine intake levels, alcohol use, diuretic use, and use of antigout medications.

Furthermore, when cherry intake was combined with allopurinol use (a common medication used to reduce uric acid levels), the risk of gout attacks decreased by an impressive 75% compared to periods without either exposure. This promising research offers hope for those managing gout, suggesting that Montmorency tart cherries could be a valuable addition to a gout-friendly diet.
