A science-backed, botanical flush engineered to keep your joints moving freely and support healthy uric acid balance naturally.
If you have ever woken up in the middle of the night to sudden tenderness, throbbing pressure, or stiffness in your big toe, ankle, or knee, you know how fast excess uric acid can stop you in your tracks. Solaray Total Cleanse Uric Acid combines standardized tart cherry extract, celery seed, quercetin, bromelain, turmeric, and essential vitamins into an all-in-one daily flush. Instead of guessing with separate supplements, this formula gives your body targeted tools to clear out waste crystals before they settle where they do not belong.
Formula Highlights at a Glance:
✓ 400 mg Tart Cherry with 3.2 mg Anthocyanins
✓ 250 mg Pure Quercetin + 625 GDU Bromelain
✓ 85 mg Active Phthalides from Celery Seed
✓ 190 mg Curcumins for Rapid Joint Soothing
✓ 100% Vegan Capsules, Non-GMO & Lab-Tested
Understanding Uric Acid: The "Faucet and Drain" Analogy
To understand why joint flares happen, think of your body like a bathtub. The water flowing into the tub represents uric acid, a normal natural byproduct created when your body breaks down compounds called purines. Purines are found inside your own cells and in common foods like steak, bacon, shellfish, organ meats, beer, and high-fructose corn syrup.
Your kidneys act as the bathtub drain. Under normal circumstances, they filter uric acid out of your blood and wash it away in urine. But problems happen when either:
The faucet is running too fast: You eat purine-heavy meals or break down tissue quickly, generating more uric acid than usual.
The drain is sluggish: Roughly 90% of individuals with high uric acid don't necessarily make too much; their kidneys simply reabsorb it instead of flushing it out.
When uric acid backs up in the bloodstream, it settles in cooler parts of your body—most often your toes, feet, ankles, and knees. There, it turns into microscopic, needle-shaped crystals (monosodium urate). Your immune system sees these sharp crystals as foreign invaders, triggering acute redness, swelling, and burning sensitivity.
How Solaray Total Cleanse Solves Both Sides of the Equation
Most single-ingredient remedies only attempt to calm irritation after it starts. Solaray Total Cleanse Uric Acid works along three distinct physiological paths: it slows the production faucet (curbing excess conversion), clears the kidney drain (supporting renal filtration), and soothes irritated joints with concentrated plant polyphenols.
The Science & Clinical Evidence Behind Every Ingredient
Every compound in this formula has been selected for its biological role and backed by published, peer-reviewed clinical research.
1. Montmorency Tart Cherry Extract (400 mg, 3.2 mg Anthocyanins)
Tart cherries are nature's premier uric acid defense. They are rich in red-purple pigments called anthocyanins, which naturally inhibit inflammatory enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) and support healthy kidney excretion.
Clinical Reference: In a landmark study published in Arthritis & Rheumatism, cherry consumption over a two-day period was associated with a 35% lower risk of recurrent gout attacks among 633 participants (Zhang et al., 2012). An earlier clinical trial published in the Journal of Nutrition demonstrated that healthy women consuming cherries experienced a significant reduction in plasma urate within just 5 hours (Jacob et al., 2003).
2. Pure Bioflavonoid Quercetin (250 mg)
Quercetin is an active bioflavonoid that acts directly on xanthine oxidase—the primary enzyme your liver uses to convert purines into uric acid. By gently moderating this enzyme, quercetin slows down excess uric acid creation at the source.
Clinical Reference: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial published in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that daily oral quercetin supplementation significantly lowered elevated plasma uric acid levels without negative effects on blood pressure or metabolic markers (Shi & Williamson, 2016).
Celery seed has been used in European herbal traditions for centuries to flush metabolic waste. Its active compounds, known as phthalides (including 3-n-butylphthalide), encourage gentle urinary flow and assist renal tubules in filtering metabolic byproducts out of circulation.
Clinical Reference: Modern pharmacological investigations have identified bioactive phthalides and flavones in celery seed (Apium graveolens) that directly inhibit xanthine oxidase and reduce uric acid accumulation in living models (Li et al., Molecules, 2023).
Unlike raw kitchen turmeric, which contains only 2% to 3% active curcumin, Solaray utilizes a concentrated extract standardized to an impressive 95% curcumins. Curcumin modulates the NLRP3 inflammasome—the cellular alarm system that triggers throbbing joint tenderness when crystals are present.
Clinical Reference: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials published in the Journal of Medicinal Food confirmed that standardized turmeric extracts significantly reduce joint symptoms and inflammation, comparable in relief to standard joint therapies (Daily et al., 2016).
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from pineapple stems that breaks down protein debris and helps quercetin absorb more efficiently. Vitamin C works directly in your kidneys to encourage uric acid excretion, while folate supports cellular methylation and purine turnover.
Clinical Reference: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials published in Arthritis Care & Research established that oral vitamin C supplementation significantly reduces serum uric acid levels by enhancing glomerular filtration and competing for renal reabsorption transporters (Juraschek et al., 2011).

Take two (2) VegCaps daily with a meal or a large glass of water. For consistent support, take both capsules with your morning meal or split them between breakfast and dinner.
The Golden Rule: Hydrate!Because celery seed and vitamin C stimulate kidney filtration, drink at least 64 to 80 ounces of pure water daily. Ample hydration provides the fluid volume your kidneys require to flush dissolved urate crystals completely out of your body.
What to Expect and Timeline
Nutritional compounds build up in bodily tissues over time. While bromelain and turmeric begin soothing joint tissues within 24 to 72 hours, optimizing systemic uric acid balance and supporting crystal clearance typically takes 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily supplementation alongside smart dietary habits.
Safety Information & Contraindications
Do not use if the safety seal is broken or missing. Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a known obstruction of the bile duct, gallstones, stomach ulcers, or severe gastric hyperacidity.
If you are currently taking prescription medications (such as allopurinol, febuxostat, blood thinners, or water pills/diuretics), or have existing kidney disease, consult your prescribing physician before using this supplement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I take Solaray Total Cleanse Uric Acid while taking Allopurinol?
Allopurinol is a prescription medication that blocks xanthine oxidase. Because ingredients like quercetin also naturally influence this enzyme, you must speak with your doctor or healthcare provider before combining them to ensure your uric acid levels stay within an optimal, balanced range.
Why choose tart cherry capsules instead of drinking cherry juice?
While tart cherry juice contains beneficial anthocyanins, an 8-ounce glass frequently packs 20 to 25 grams of fruit sugars. Fructose metabolism in the liver actually consumes ATP and can stimulate additional uric acid production. Solaray Total Cleanse delivers the concentrated active polyphenols of tart cherry without the excess sugar, carbohydrates, or calories.
How long does it take for Solaray Uric Acid Cleanse to work?
The soothing properties of bromelain and 95% curcumins often provide noticeable joint comfort within 24 to 72 hours. However, assisting your kidneys in flushing accumulated urate crystals and stabilizing blood levels is an ongoing process that typically takes 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily use.
Can I take this supplement every day for maintenance?
Yes. Many individuals use Solaray Total Cleanse Uric Acid continuously at the standard two-capsule daily dose to maintain long-term joint comfort and ongoing kidney filtration support. Always inform your physician about the dietary supplements you take on an ongoing basis.
Are there any common side effects?
Solaray Total Cleanse Uric Acid is well tolerated by most adults when taken as directed with food and water. Because celery seed is a natural mild diuretic, you may notice a slight increase in urine output. Taking capsules on an empty stomach can occasionally cause mild stomach upset due to bromelain or turmeric, which is why taking it with a meal is recommended.
