Tinospora (otherwise known as Gudichi) is a traditional and natural herbal medicine that is harvested from an herbaceous vine in Asia (called Tinospora Cordifolia). This herbal extract has been widely used for centuries throughout Asia, most commonly in Southeast Asia (particularly in Thailand). Natural Tinospora extract has been used with such frequency because it has established a reputation as a plant encouraging perpetual youth and vivacious longevity. More specifically, it has been used to benefit several common, but serious, ailments that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Gout,
• Obesity
• High cholesterol
• Blood Stasis (known as “Xue Yu” in Chinese medicine)
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes-related high blood suger
• Kidney and liver malfunction
• Digestive problems
• Common cold (or other feverish infections)

In general, natural Tinospora extract is an herbal medicine that improves the body's overall constitution. Therefore, those with relatively good health (not suffering from any particular condition) can still take Tinospora to enjoy beneficial effects and as a way to control and maintain a good physical condition.

How does Tinospora help those suffering from gout?

Gout:

Natural Tinospora extract is a truly revolutionary herbal medicine that offers a comprehensive approach to improving gout and its symptoms. Indeed, herbal Tinospora has been used to treat gout patients for many years in Asia. Thousands of gout patients have been relieved of the dreadful pain related to acute gout attacks.

Gout is a disease caused by Hyperuricemia, which is an excess of or elevated uric acid in the blood stream. This buildup of uric acid is often deposited into crystallized urates on the cartilage of the joints, tendons, and adjoining tissues. This can lead to a chronic condition of gout-related arthritis that is known to be extremely painful. There are three major factors related to an increase in uric acid in the blood. They include genetic obesity, kidney malfunction and various lifestyle-related choices, such as drug use, stress, and (in particular) heavy consumption of alcohol.

Obesity:

Many patients suffering from Hyperuricemia and gout also have a weight problem. Obesity is regarded as the most common and hazardous complication found with gout patients. In fact, 60% of gout patients are obese, while the rest have a potential obesity problem. It is seen that the higher the level of obesity, the higher the level of uric acid. It is recognized that the excess intake of energy that can induce obesity is related to the body’s ability to metabolize uric acid. Indeed, although obesity is often a genetic issue, the level of uric acid in the bloodstream can increase, based on certain diets.

Purine is a white, crystalline compound (C5H4N4) from which a group of compounds, including a high level of uric acid, is derived. A strict control of one’s purine intake is technically difficult and cannot be maintained for a long time. Most doctors today do not give dietary advice (such as "you should not eat this or that"). Rather, it is more important to control the “total” amount of food intake.



Kidney Malfunction:


Kidney malfunction is also a source of increased uric acid in the blood. There are many potential causes of a decline in kidney function, but the most significant is related to obesity. The kidneys discharge uric acids through urination and any deterioration of kidney function disturbs the normal daily discharge of uric acids, thus potentially increasing the opportunity for the acids to remain in the blood stream and for gout to form.

 

Alchohol:


Drinking alcohol causes a temporary increase in the level of uric acid. Uuric acid is produced when alcohol is metabolized inside the body. Lactic acid is produced when alcohol is metabolized and this induces a build up uric acid. Some alcohol beverages contain high levels of purines that stimulate the body to produce more uric acid. Since the level of uric acid increases when alcohol is metabolized, any kind of alcohol is bad for the uric acid level and, consequently, gout. However, the level of purines that cause an increase in uric acid vary between alcohols. Beer contains the highest levels of purines and distilled alcohol beverages (such as whisky, brandy, and spirits) do not contain as many. Naturally and logically, the more alcohol that is consumed and the higher the frequency, the more likely it is for gout to form.

Tinospora Suggested Usage/Dosage:

The suggested dosage of natural Tinospora extract is 6 tablets per day. For the best results, take 3 tablets after breakfast and 3 tablets after dinner. The Tinospora extract powder may be taken out of the capsules, to be consumed in powder form, if so desired. Naturally, the results vary between individuals. It is recommended to continue treatment for at least 6-12 months, particularly if attempting to alleviate gout symptoms.

Tinospora Side-Effects:

No known negative side-effects are associated with the ingestion of natural Tinospora Cordifolia extract. However, in some cases, the product might cause an urge to use the toilet, due to its natural diuretic properties. In many cases, this is regarded as a positive effect or attribute, as this helps to flush toxins from the system.
