CherryActiveCH10 Active Edge Capsules 60 capsules

My son typically has very bad Aspergers related insomnia which has resulted in very poor School/College attendance with a threat of permanent dismissal hanging over his head. Trying to solve this problem has been a terrible uphill struggle. Eventually he was prescribed 2 Melatonin at night but as he grew his dosage needs grew from 2 capsules to 4 a night. I was told that the maximum he could eventually take was 5 - THAT IS until I asked for Lactose Free because of my sons worsening asthma. The Doc went all strange on me for treading on the Hospitals financial toes and decided to go backwards to the dose which didn't work, so in my panic I Googled MELATONIN RICH FOOD and found that Cherries are high on the list - the skins to be precise. I went to well known Holland & Barratt, bought the juice AND the capsules and decided to substitute some of the pharmaceutical Melatonin with the Cherry Active Capsules. Not only is my son getting less lactose, some much needed vitamins and anti-oxidants but he himself stated how PEACEFULLY he sleeps with the Cherry Active Capsules. It's a fantastic result. The only downside is that I now seem to be obsessed with 'all-things-cherry.' Up to now I have found the capsules to be more effective than the juice but only because I haven't found the right dose yet. I have conversed with the Cherry Active Company about this product ~ so any queries they are there to help. Really hope this helps !

I didn't believe the hype, but these things really work!Had been troubled with regular bouts of gout - normally around the toes which left me unable to walk for several days at a time. Had been on long-term Allopurinol, but still had to frequently resort to the crutches the NHS gave me so I could remain mobile during instances of gout.Was recommended this by a friend, but didn't really bother taking the bottle he gave me, until one day, I felt like I'd stubbed my toe whilst walking, and within 2 hours I'd gone from a sore toe to being unable to walk on the foot and in extreme pain. The wife had to drive to pick me up with my crutches.I thought "what the hell", took one CherryActive straight away, took another at bed time, and another when I woke up (with the pain being virtually gone - an order of magnitude faster than the normally prescribed Colchicine medicine takes to effect things). At lunch time that day I did a 3 mile walk with no pain at all.That was August 2013, and taking one of these a day, I've not had a case of gout since - whereas I could have expected a severe episode at least once a month on the Allopurinol treatment. If you suffer from gout, you owe it to yourself to atleast try these and see if they work for you.

The work.

Please read this review to the end as I updated it in November 14. Got these for my husband who suffers with gout. The medication given by his GP didn't seem to be helping very much and we had concerns about the side effects. Read about CherryActive capsules so looked up the reviews. Mostly very positive so thought they would be worth a try. Hubby has been taking these now for nearly one month. He stopped taking the prescribed medication at the same time as starting the CherryActive capsules. He only takes one capsule a day. Most days he has a cherry yoghurt but no other changes to his diet !!! Slowly the gout pain has decreased and, at the moment, he is pain free !!! It is still early days but so far couldn't be happier. 26/11/14 and I thought I would update this review. Shortly after I wrote the first review he had one day where the gout pain returned. Increased the capsules to 2 a day for a few days. Pain went and has been completely pain free ever since. He continues to take one capsule each day and has cherry yoghurt drink. We both couldn't be happier with the results.

Unsure as yet as to the benefits.Looking at the info published there is plenty of pseudo scientific reporting as to the statistical benefits, but fail to point out dose required to achieve the desired impact.Have had a flair up whilst taking these, but have been taking 1 tab a day, rather than 2 . No clear evidence on the bottle as to dose that may be required for anti- inflammatory benefits.should I have been taking 2 tabs, would I have had a flair up?Biggest draw back is the size and taste of the tablets.Horsepills!Taste like mouldy cardboard too. Make sure you have a cool cup of tea to swallow them with, you need a big gulp to get them down.Tried adding powder to cherry juice drink, but does not dissolve, just makes a lumpiness in bottom of glass.Are there any side effects? Interractions with other meds?Not stated on info on web. An important ommission. If you are going to put out biochemical supportive info that puports to have benefits, then this may also have other drug interraction.COX-1 and COX -2 inhibition is not without impact. Needs to be added to info.

I have suffered from gout on and off for several years, but 6 months ago it became worse.I gave up beer and drank cider instead and this improved matters. But the best ciders tend to be more expensive than beer, and living in Norwich, I am lucky to be able to enjoy a great variety of real ales.However, the gout returned and I spoke to my GP who sent me for a blood test. This revealed an increased level of uric acid.I was prescribed Allupurinol and took a further blood test 4 weeks later and my uric acid level was lower.This drug does not initially reduce pain levels, but does eventually reduce the inflammation around the joints, and the pain is more under control without having to take other drugs.I read about the benefits of cherries as a natural way of relieving gout, so I took 2 capsules for 4 weeks, and now take 1 capsule a day and I only get the odd twinge. I plan to discontinue the Allupurinol and continue with the cherry capsules in the hope that the natural treatment works. Fingers crossed ( ouch ! ).

I have been using cherry active for years. Was getting expensive though, so changed to capsules. They work well and this Supplier has a really fair price & excellent delivery. Highly recommend.
