G-out™

Gout is a condition caused by the accumulation of sodium urate crystals in the joints. These crystals form when blood uric acid levels are high (hyperuricemia), often resulting in painful episodes of joint inflammation. Gout frequently affects the joints in the feet, particularly at the base of the big toe. However, it can affect other joints such as the ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows. It is more often seen in middle-aged men compared to women.

Normally, uric acid, a by-product of cell nucleic acid breakdown, is present in the blood in small amounts, as the body continually breaks down old cells and forms new ones. The body also transforms substances in food called purines into uric acid. Foods high in purines include anchovies, asparagus, herring, meat gravies and broths, mushrooms, mussels, all organ meats, sardines, and sweet breads. Most often, blood uric acid levels become abnormally high when the kidneys cannot eliminate enough uric acid in the urine. Excessive amounts of uric acid in the blood can result in urate crystals being formed and deposited in the joints. Combining a high-purine diet with alcohol can also worsen matters. Alcohol both increases the production of uric acid and interferes with its elimination by the kidneys.

G-out™ is a unique combination of seven ingredients formulated to support healthy uric acid levels.

Ingredients

Ayuric® is a clinically studied compound for healthy uric acid support. It is derived from the edible fruits of Terminalia bellerica, an ancient plant. Terminalia bellerica is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine due to the wide spectrum of pharmacological activities associated with the biologically active secondary metabolites present in this plant. A variety of phytochemicals are isolated from various parts of the plant, including alkaloids, coumarin, flavones, steroids, lignans, tannins, glycosides, terpenoids, and saponins, among many other compounds. Due to its positive and safe characteristics and its ability to decrease serum uric acid levels, Ayuric® can be a beneficial agent. It can be especially useful for individuals who are at higher risk of gastrointestinal or renal complications from prescription gout medications.

A second compound added to this supplement is black cherry. Clinical research suggests that consuming black cherries may help support healthy uric acid levels and reduce the risk of gout flare-ups. Other studies have suggested that drinking cherry juice may assist in maintaining safe blood uric acid levels.

In Ayurvedic medicine, curcumin has been recommended for several conditions due to its anti-inflammatory activity. It reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels and by increasing the production of natural cortisone by the adrenal glands. It is also considered a strong antioxidant and protects against free radical damage.

In Mexican folk medicine, yucca extract is used for promoting anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory activity. The plant contains several physiologically active phytochemicals. It is a rich source of steroidal saponins, which have diverse biological effects, including anti-protozoal activity. It has been postulated that saponins may have anti-arthritic properties by suppressing intestinal protozoa, which may have a role in inflammation.

Quercetin belongs to a class of plant pigments called flavonoids. Quercetin acts like an antihistamine promoting anti-inflammatory activity. As an antioxidant, it promotes cardiovascular health as well as many beneficial endocrine functions.

Adequate vitamin C intake is important for its antioxidant properties, helping protect the body from free radicals that can contribute to inflammation.

Folic acid may slightly reduce the magnitude of increased concentrations of uric acid in some individuals.
