Natural Gout Supplements
Gout, caused by high uric acid has long been associated with diet. At one time in history it is even called a “rich man’s disease” since it has been known to occur predominantly in people with high-fat, high-protein diets. Nowadays however, gout has become very prevalent affecting men and women of all income levels. Perhaps today’s tendency for unhealthy, fast food diet has something to do with it. Consequently, people have increasingly used all sorts of food supplements to counter this tendency. Others take food supplements to augment or complement an unbalanced diet.
In gout patients, food supplements that contain a host of gout-friendly natural ingredients are widely used. These are different from the natural gout supplements containing individual natural extracts (for example cherry or Vitamin C) as they contain a combination of natural extracts from two or more sources. Below are widely used natural gout supplements avalible right here:

Goutrin-Uric Acid Neutralizer (Organika) contains black cherry extract, English thyme powder, celery seed powder, mint leaves powder extract and Vitamin C in a gelatin capsule with microcrystalline cellulose. Cherries are of course known for anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Thyme and mint are both anti-inflammatories as well as mild diuretics. Celery seed powder is known for its capability to neutralize acids including uric acid. It is also an effective diuretic. Vitamin C of course is a natural uricosuric.
