"Doctor wanted me on allopurinol in March. I'm 46 and I asked her for three months first. Four years of no beer, no shellfish, a gallon of water a day, and my number had gone from 8.9 to 8.6. That was it. Nine weeks on these and it read 6.4. The script is still in my kitchen drawer and she's watching my labs."

"I had a bottle of tart cherry in the cabinet that did nothing for a year, so I nearly didn't bother. The difference is the 25 percent printed on the front. Third day the background ache I'd stopped even noticing was just gone. Two weeks in, the twinges that used to warn me something was coming stopped showing up."

"Thursday afternoon I felt that stiffening in the toe. Sixteen years of gout and I know exactly where that goes. Boot off by Saturday and a week I don't get paid for. I went to bed working out who I was going to have to call. Friday morning it was gone, and it has come and gone the same way twice since."

Fewer Flares. In weeks.
What men told us after 12 weeks on Cirae.
94%
Said their flares became less frequent
within the first three weeks of taking it daily
93%
Said the warning twinges stopped
the signals that used to tell them a flare was coming
89%
Stopped losing days to it
the week on the couch that used to come every month or two
86%
Said their number finally moved
after years of it sitting in the same place no matter what they cut
What Changes Week By Week
Cirae is a daily thing, not a rescue. Here is the order it tends to happen in.
Week 1: The First Signs
The background ache you had stopped noticing thins out
You get the blanket back over your foot at night
The heat starts coming out of the joint
Week 2: The Warnings Stop
The twinges that used to tell you one was coming go quiet
Both boots on, laced, standing up
You stop planning the week around your foot
Week 4: The Real Test
A Thursday twinge, the kind you know the shape of
You go to bed working out who covers your Saturday
Friday morning it is gone and nobody has to cover anything
Week 12+: Counting Weeks, Not Flares
Your number starts to move, modestly, and later than the flares did
The first draw in years that does not read the same as the last one
You book something three weeks out without adding if my foot is okay
The stairs stop being something you go down sideways
Your doctor looks at the labs and asks what you changed
The part nobody explained
It was never what you were putting in.
You cut the beer. You cut the shellfish. You lost the weight. Maybe you are on the pill too.
And the number sits where it has always sat, or it comes back in range and the flares keep
coming anyway.
1
Everything you have been told to do works on one end. Getting less uric acid in. And if you are on allopurinol, that does the same job from the inside. It tells your body to make less.
2
Nobody talks about the other end. Your kidneys pull uric acid out of your blood every day, and it is supposed to leave in your urine. That is the exit.
3
In about 9 out of 10 people with gout, the exit is shut. It gets filtered out, and then instead of leaving it gets pulled straight back into the blood. It goes around in a circle because it cannot get out.
4
That is why the diet barely moves your number. And it is why the pill can hold your number in range for years while the flares keep coming. It was never getting in too fast. It was never getting out.
5
Above 6.8, uric acid cannot stay dissolved. It turns to crystal and settles in the coldest, slowest joint you have. Below 6.8, what is already sitting in there goes back into your blood and leaves with it.
A tighter faucet doesn't dry the floor. You have to open the drain.
Why nobody told you this. Gout shows up in your foot, so you get sent to someone who treats joints. The exit is in your kidney. Nobody sends you to a kidney doctor over a swollen toe, so nobody looks.
Anthocyanins, the deep red pigment in tart cherry, are studied on exactly that part of the kidney. Not on what goes in. That is the whole reason Cirae is one ingredient and not a blend.
One simple ingredient
Most supplements are a blend. Cirae is one thing: cold extracted tart cherry, standardized to 25% anthocyanins.
Cold extraction keeps the deep red pigment intact, which is the part the research focuses on. No heat. No fillers. Nothing else in the capsule.
Not all tart cherry is the same

Go turn over whatever tart cherry is in your cupboard right now and look for a milligram number for anthocyanins. Not total tart cherry. Anthocyanins. That number is the entire product. Everything else on the label is weight.

Not on the pillUric acid
The script is still in my drawer
Doctor wanted me on allopurinol in March. I am 46 and I asked her for three months first. Four years of no beer, no shellfish, a gallon of water a day, and my number had gone 8.9 to 8.6. That was it. Nine weeks on these and it read 6.4. She is still watching my labs and we have not started the pill.

Two years of cutting things out for nothing
I gave up beer, red meat and shellfish and lost 26 pounds, and my level moved about a third of a point in two years. Nobody could explain that to me. The bit about the other end is the only thing I have read that actually accounts for it. Eleven weeks in, no attacks, and the number is finally going somewhere.
★★★★★

Third bottle and I am not stopping
I had a bottle of tart cherry in the cabinet that did nothing for a year, so I nearly did not bother with this. The difference is the 25 percent printed on the front. Third day the background ache I had stopped even noticing was just gone. Two weeks in, the twinges that used to warn me something was coming stopped showing up.

The twinge came and went in a day
Seven years of this and I know exactly what a stiff toe on a Thursday means. Boot off by Saturday, then a week I do not get paid for. I felt it in week three on these and went to bed working out who I was going to have to call. Friday morning it was gone. Twice more since and the same both times.
★★★★★
Not on the pill
I am 41 and I did not want to start
Three attacks in five years, which my doctor said was enough to put me on something daily for the rest of my life. That is what I could not get my head around at 41. I am not against the medication, I just wanted to know if there was anything else first. Two months on these, no attacks, and my last draw was the lowest it has been.
★★★★★
Morning stiffness
Slower for me than the page says
Four stars because it took me closer to five weeks, not two. The mornings are better now and I have had one small flare in three months instead of one a month. Just do not expect the first week thing to happen for everybody. It is working, it took its time.
★★★★★
Everyday movement
Booked a job three weeks out
I do flooring. For two years I would not commit to anything more than a week ahead because I could not tell you where my foot was going to be. Booked a full kitchen for the end of the month and did not even think about it until my wife pointed it out.
★★★★★
Uric acid
Doctor asked what I changed
Went from 7.8 to 6.5 in about two months without starting anything she prescribed. Not a miracle number and honestly the attacks were always my problem more than the reading. But she pulled the chart up and asked what I had changed, and I told her. She said keep doing it and come back in three months.
★★★★★
Flare frequency
Product is good, shipping was slow
Took nine days to reach me and the tracking sat still for four of them, which is the only reason this is not five. The capsules themselves have done what I wanted. Two flares in the six weeks before, none in the seven weeks since.
★★★★★
Not on the pill
My dad did it the hard way
He had gout for nearly twenty years and spent most of it arguing with his doctor about it. I watched where that went and I did not want to do either thing, argue or just hand it over. This is the first option anybody has given me that is not one or the other. Three months, no attacks.
★★★★★
Morning stiffness
The blanket goes over my foot now
All winter I slept with that foot outside the covers because the weight of a sheet on it was more than I could stand. About three weeks in I woke up under the blanket like a normal person. I have slept that way since.

Back out in the yard
The first twenty minutes out of bed used to be the worst part of my day. Around week three I noticed I was walking to the kitchen without bracing for it. I am out in the yard again on the weekends, which I had quietly given up on.

My husband finally has a number that moves
His has read the same thing for three years no matter what I cooked, and he was starting to think he had no choice left. He has been on these for two months, no attacks, and the last reading actually came down. He is far less miserable about the whole thing.
★★★★★

Capsules are on the larger side
They are not small and you take two, so if you struggle swallowing things that is worth knowing. Aside from that no complaints. Six weeks in, one minor flare instead of the every three weeks I had been having.
★★★★★
Morning stiffness
Slept through the night
The 4am thing was the part that was wearing me down more than the attacks. Waking up and knowing before I even moved. That went away in the first week and a half and it has not come back.
★★★★★
Not on the pill
Wish I had found it four months earlier
I spent four months on a cherry supplement from the pharmacy that did nothing at all and then gave up on the whole idea and told a few people it was a waste of money. Came back to it because of the 25 percent printed on the front. Completely different thing. Annoyed at myself more than anything.
★★★★★
Uric acid
Tried six other cherry supplements
Over four years I have tried six of these and none of them did a thing. The only difference I can point at is that this one actually prints what is in it. Ten weeks, no attacks, and my last draw came back lower than it has been in years.
★★★★★
Flare frequency
I have gout too and nobody expects that
Women get it as well, especially after fifty, and every product for it is aimed at men. This has been the first thing that has changed anything. Two attacks in the three months before, none in the two months since.
★★★★★
Morning stiffness
Better, not gone
I want to be fair. My hands are still stiff in the mornings, just less, and it clears in ten minutes instead of forty. I would not call it fixed. I would call it noticeably better and worth the money, which is more than I can say for the last three things I tried.
★★★★★

Made it to my grandson's birthday
Forty five minutes in the truck each way, which I had missed twice because of my foot. Went last Saturday and stayed until the end. That is the whole review really.
