How Blackmores Celery 3000 works
Celery seed has traditionally been used to assist in
the relief of symptoms of gout, arthritis and
rheumatism. Celery has been found to have
anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, as well as
significant diuretic properties.
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by an increased
concentration of uric acid. Uric acid is the end product
of purine metabolism. Foods high in purines therefore
contribute to the body's production of uric acid. These
foods include organ meats (eg. liver, kidneys, brains,
heart, lambs fry), prawns, lobster, oysters, salami,
pate, sardines and anchovies.
When uric acid crystals are deposited in joints,
tendons, kidneys and other tissues they cause
inflammation and damage. Celery seed can increase the
elimination of uric acid from the kidneys.
From a traditional naturopathic perspective
accumulation of waste substances in the body can
contribute to arthritis and rheumatism. Celery
stimulates the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase which
helps clear accumulated toxic substances from the body.
