Targeted botanical support for healthy uric acid balance
O2B Uric Balance combines three complementary plant ingredients selected for their traditional uses and potential roles in supporting healthy uric acid metabolism, joint comfort and urinary wellbeing.
Featuring Terminalia bellerica, tart cherry and celery seed, this specialised formula provides a botanical approach to maintaining normal uric acid balance while supporting antioxidant protection and everyday mobility.
Understanding uric acid: a natural part of metabolism
Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down purines, compounds naturally present in our cells and in foods such as certain meats and seafood.
Most uric acid circulates in the bloodstream before being eliminated through the kidneys, with a smaller proportion processed through the digestive system.
Uric acid also contributes to antioxidant activity in the blood. However, when production and elimination become unbalanced, uric acid levels can rise.
Maintaining healthy uric acid metabolism is therefore an important aspect of metabolic, kidney and joint wellbeing.
Terminalia bellerica: traditional botanical support for uric acid metabolism
Terminalia bellerica, also known as bibhitaki, is a fruit-bearing tree traditionally used in Ayurvedic herbal medicine.
Its fruit contains naturally occurring polyphenols, tannins and other antioxidant compounds that have attracted scientific interest for their potential influence on uric acid metabolism.
Research into certain standardised Terminalia bellerica extracts has investigated their effects on serum uric acid, including pathways involved in uric acid production.
O2B Uric Balance provides 1,000 mg of Terminalia bellerica extract as the principal ingredient in this targeted botanical combination.
Tart cherry: antioxidant support for joints and recovery
Tart cherries contain naturally occurring anthocyanins and other polyphenols responsible for much of their antioxidant activity.
These compounds have been investigated for their potential effects on oxidative stress, inflammatory signalling and exercise-related muscle recovery.
Tart cherry has also attracted research interest for its relationship with uric acid metabolism, although results from human studies are mixed.
O2B Uric Balance provides tart cherry equivalent to 1,000 mg of dried fruit, complementing Terminalia bellerica with antioxidant-rich botanical support.
Celery seed: traditional urinary and joint support
Celery seed (Apium graveolens) has a long history of traditional herbal use for urinary function, fluid balance and joint wellbeing.
It contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including flavonoids and phthalides, which have been investigated for their antioxidant and other biological properties.
Traditionally valued for supporting normal urinary elimination, celery seed provides a complementary botanical approach to the body's natural fluid-management processes.
O2B Uric Balance contains celery seed extract equivalent to 1,000 mg of dried seed.
Supporting the body's natural uric acid balance
Healthy uric acid levels depend on a balance between production and elimination.
The kidneys play a major role in regulating circulating uric acid, while diet, hydration, genetics, metabolic health and certain medications can also influence levels.
O2B Uric Balance combines botanicals selected for their traditional associations with uric acid metabolism, urinary wellbeing and antioxidant support.
Alongside adequate hydration, balanced nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, this targeted formula provides complementary support for people wanting to maintain normal uric acid metabolism and comfortable movement.
A specialised addition to your joint-health routine
O2B Uric Balance takes a different approach from conventional joint supplements.
Rather than focusing primarily on cartilage structure, it brings together botanicals associated with metabolic balance, antioxidant protection and normal urinary function.
It's a targeted option for customers looking to support healthy uric acid metabolism as part of their broader approach to joint and metabolic wellbeing.
