Celery Seeds: A Natural Gout Supplement

 Gout is one of the most common forms of arthritis and is much more common in men than in women. The exact number of gout cases in the U.S. is hard to quantify as many people experience symptoms without being diagnosed. However, a recent study found that about 8.3 million Americans suffer from gout, while nearly 44 million American adults (21 percent) have increased uric acid levels in their blood - the main cause of gout. These cases of high levels of uric acid can easily turn into diagnosed cases of gout if not treated.

Before we get too deep into the numbers, let’s first talk about what exactly gout is. Gout is a type of arthritis that is triggered when uric acid builds up in joints and crystallizes. Uric acid is a result of purines - organic compounds found in food. Purines are metabolized into uric acid, which is then excreted through urine. If too many purines are introduced to the body, uric acid can build up and cause gout. These high concentrations of uric acid can also cause kidney stones and diabetes, so getting gout under control is essential for long-term health.

During a gout attack, a person can experience severe pain, redness, and swelling in joints - most often, though, in the big toe. This pain can be debilitating and make it difficult to live a normal life.

What Can Be Done About Gout?

While taking ibuprofen can temporarily ease the pain of gout, it doesn’t really fix the problem. Aspirin, on the other hand, can actually increase uric acid levels and worsen gout symptoms.

If gout is a chronic issue in your life, taking a look at your diet may be beneficial as well. Red meats, seafood, sugary drinks, and alcohol can all increase uric acid buildup. In fact, it is believed that up to 12% of all gout cases are diet-related. Additionally, ensuring that you are drinking plenty of water can help to break up uric acid build-ups and prevent crystallization in the future.

Herbal Supplements For Gout

At Saratoga Supplements, we know that there are health benefits surrounding us in nature. One of the best herbal treatments for gout is celery seed. Celery seed has been used for thousands of years around the world and is quickly gaining popularity in America. So how do these tiny seeds help treat gout?

Celery seeds are a potent source of omega-6 fatty acids as well as powerful diuretics. Diuretics help to increase urine production and flush excess fluids out of the body. Celery seed stimulates the kidneys which help to release uric acid from the body and especially help to rid the body of uric acid crystals.

More than simply flushing out uric acid, celery seed also works as a natural anti-inflammatory. This helps to relieve joint pain and allow for uric acid to be better released from joints. Our herbal gout supplement also contains black cherry extract and turmeric extract, both of which have also been shown to act as a natural inflammatory at the molecular level.
