This product was recommended by our family physician for my husbands reoccurring gout. He has a flair up almost monthly and he is under 40 years old. We are trying desperately to get it under control especially since he has a physically demanding job. He has been on this product for the last month and it looks like a new flair up is coming... but I also dont feel like a month is enough time to tell if its going to help. So I cant say if its helping yet or not. But I will say its easy to take and the taste isnt bad at all...
