🍒 CHERRIES AND GOUT — WHO KNEW?!
We’ve lost count of how many patients over the years have said,
“You know what really helped my gout? Cherries!”
And you know what? They might just be right!
At our recent CPD (Continuing Professional Development) day, even a renowned podiatrist confirmed what so many of you have told us — that cherry extract can genuinely help reduce inflammation and ease gout flare-ups.
It turns out uric acid isn’t all bad either — in balanced amounts, it actually helps your body fight inflammation. The trouble starts when levels rise too high and those pesky crystals form in the joints (usually the big toe!).
We’ve written a new blog post all about it — what causes gout, why uric acid matters, and how cherries might help you stay one step ahead of a flare-up.

If you’ve ever had gout, or know someone who has, this one’s worth a read — and maybe worth a handful of cherries too. 🍒😉
