Gout is a two-part problem.
First, uric acid builds up in the blood and forms needle-like crystals in the joints — usually the big toe, often at night.
Second, your immune system attacks those crystals, causing the intense swelling, redness, throbbing pain, and that unbearable 2 a.m. agony.
Prescription drugs like allopurinol lower uric acid but don’t help during a flare. NSAIDs reduce inflammation but ignore the crystal buildup. Diet alone usually isn’t enough.
Vitalora’s anthocyanins from Montmorency tart cherries work on both sides: they inhibit uric acid production and calm the inflammatory response in the joint.
The result? Less uric acid, less inflammation, fewer flares, and milder attacks when they do occur.
