Black Cherry Extract for Gout
Natural uric-acid support for gout flares
About Black Cherry
Tart and black cherry extract contain anthocyanins that lower uric acid and reduce inflammation in the joints. They're a well-tolerated adjunct for patients with recurrent gout — especially classic big-toe gout attacks.
Why patients use it
Fewer gout flares
Daily cherry extract is associated with up to a 35% reduction in gout-attack frequency in published studies.
Lower uric acid
Anthocyanins help the kidneys excrete uric acid more efficiently.
Reduces joint inflammation
Natural COX inhibition without the GI side effects of NSAIDs.
Pairs with the gout diet
Works best alongside our low-purine diet handout and proper hydration.
Typical use
Most patients take 500–1,000 mg of concentrated cherry extract daily, or 8–16 oz of unsweetened tart cherry juice.
Educational information only — always confirm dosing with Dr. Lyons, especially if you take prescription medications or have kidney or liver disease.

Frequently asked questions
Does it replace allopurinol?+
No. Cherry extract is an adjunct — patients with frequent attacks or tophi still need prescription urate-lowering therapy.
Is the juice or the capsule better?+
Capsules are more concentrated and easier to dose. Juice works but watch the sugar content.
