Each patient reported attack details, including their cherry consumption for
the two days prior. And it turned out that eating two servings of cherries
(about a cup, or 20 cherries) over the past 48 hours appeared to reduce the
risk of another attack by 50%.^3


Now cherries alone seem to take a big toll on gout, but the Redd Remedies
team didn’t stop there.


Four supportive ingredients keep gout

at bay for the long haul

When the Redd Remedies research team sees customers in desperate need
of help, they really sink their teeth in. With a full understanding of what’s
happening in the body, they look to several ancient medical traditions to
develop a comprehensive curative approach. Each ingredient is specifically
chosen to address both the symptoms and their cause, a method that helps put
your body back in order (literally the meaning of the company name: Redd
means put in order).


The first two ingredients come together in the “proprietary kidney blend,”
a combination designed to nourish and support your kidneys without pushing
them to overperform. Boerhaavia diffuse comes from Ayurvedic tradition, where
it’s used to rejuvenate. It works together synergistically with couch grass, which
has a mild diuretic effect, to help reduce your body’s uric acid concentration.


The formula also includes ginger, a very well-known anti-inflammatory
agent. But ginger has also been found effective in reducing the pain of osteo-
arthritis attacks (gout is a different form of arthritis). In one randomized, dou-
ble-blind, placebo-controlled study of 261 patients with osteoarthritis of the
knee, researchers gave patients either ginger or placebo for six weeks. And the
patients in the ginger group reported a 63% reduction in pain, significantly
more than the control group.^4


The final ingredient in Goutch! is quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that
offers your kidneys protection against free radicals.^5 In addition, quercetin
inhibits an enzyme (called xanthine oxidase) that contributes to uric acid pro-
duction6—and that can help your body dodge gout altogether.


Feel better today, avoid pain tomorrow

If you’re suffering from intense, throbbing gout pain, Goutch! can make
all the difference. Most people start to feel better within 48 hours of an attack
(some within 24 hours)—it can dramatically diminish your pain.


The manufacturer recommends an active dose (during an attack) of two
capsules twice a day for the first three days, then one capsule twice a day. To
