Does not address the root cause of the problem.
Based on the 5 star reviews given by many, I ordered this product and took it for a week. I did not see any miracle change in a week, but did see that some of the gout symptoms reduced, but they were back once i stopped taking the capsules. at this point i thought that i should see what is the root cause of the problem and treat that instead of taking a drug that reduces the uric acid level by helping the kidney function more and discard the uric acid build up. I had also been taking Tart cherry juice for few weeks.<br /><br />The root cause of the problem in my case was the reduced or non-responsive colon function. The waste was not get emptied fully and longer it stayed, i started getting the bump under my feet and slowly in the toe joints with the pricking pain. I am not a long time sufferer, but just got the gout after a terrible gastro problem (with inflammation in the colon - due to work related stress). The colonoscopy showed no issues with the colon, but i could feel that my colon had reduced its function. I had to drink 6-7 glasses of water in the morning to create pressure and flush the colon, after which the bump would go away for few hours again to catch up of meal or any food intake.<br /><br />After researching a bit on the internet, I found that "Triphala" the natural remedy would help in my case to cleanse and tone up my colon. I started taking it as juice as well as capsules and here i am after a week gout free. I do not have to drink loads of water to clean up (but i still do as a healthy practice). Of course I had to control my diet during this period and reduce the intake of Purine causing proteins.<br /><br />Hope this review helps for anyone looking to address the root cause of the problem.
