Hello,
The tart cherry extract has scientifically proven many health benefits. For chronic conditions, it is recommended to keep the manufacturer's recommended dose.
The dose may be increased in acute condition (gout attack) for a short period of time but should be decreased again to the manufacturer recommended dose in the maintenance phase.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
