GO Healthy Celery 16,000 is built around one of the most long-standing herbal ingredients in the joint and kidney health category - celery seed (Apium graveolens) - at a high-strength concentrated dose in a single daily capsule.

Celery seed has been used for centuries across Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and Western herbalism as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and kidney tonic herb. In the modern supplement category, it is most commonly associated with supporting healthy uric acid levels and gout-related joint comfort. Uric acid is a natural waste product of purine metabolism - when uric acid levels in the blood become elevated (hyperuricaemia), crystals can form and deposit in joints, causing the characteristic pain and inflammation of gout. Celery seed is thought to support healthy uric acid levels through several mechanisms, including the presence of luteolin - a flavonoid that inhibits xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for uric acid production - as well as its mild diuretic action, which supports the kidneys’ natural excretion of uric acid.

Research in animal models has found that celery seed extract can support reduction of serum uric acid levels and provide some protective effects on kidney function in the context of hyperuricaemia-induced kidney stress. Celery seed’s natural diuretic properties are also relevant for fluid management, where traditional practice supports its use for reducing fluid retention and supporting the kidneys’ role in maintaining normal fluid balance.

At 16,000mg fresh seed equivalent per capsule, this is a concentrated, high-strength formula. Note that while celery seed supports kidney function in the context of healthy uric acid management, it is contraindicated in people with existing kidney disorders, as it may increase inflammation in that specific context. If fluid retention persists, seek medical advice rather than continuing to self-manage.

What is celery seed extract and what is it used for?
Celery seed extract is derived from the seeds of Apium graveolens — the same plant as the celery eaten as a vegetable, though the seed has a different and considerably more concentrated phytonutrient profile. It has been used in herbal medicine for centuries as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and kidney-supportive herb. In the supplement category, it is most commonly used to support healthy uric acid levels, kidney function, fluid management, and gout-related joint comfort.

How does celery seed support uric acid levels?
Celery seed contains active compounds including luteolin - a flavonoid that inhibits xanthine oxidase, the enzyme that converts purines to uric acid - as well as phthalides and other phytonutrients with anti-inflammatory activity. Its mild diuretic effect also supports the kidneys in excreting excess uric acid from the body. Together these mechanisms contribute to the herb’s traditional and researched role in supporting healthy uric acid metabolism.

What is the difference between celery seed extract and eating celery?
Celery seed has a significantly different and more concentrated phytonutrient profile than celery stalks. The 16,000mg fresh seed equivalent in each capsule represents a highly concentrated extract - far more than would be achievable through diet alone. The seed also contains specific active compounds, such as phthalides and luteolin, at concentrations not found in the vegetable parts of the plant.

Is this product suitable for people with kidney disorders?
No. This product is specifically contraindicated in people with kidney disorders, as celery seed may increase inflammation in that context. If you have a kidney condition, consult your healthcare professional before use. If fluid retention persists despite taking this supplement, seek medical advice.

Can I take this if I am on medication?
If you are taking any prescription medication - particularly diuretics, blood pressure medication, or medication related to gout or uric acid management - consult your healthcare professional before use, as celery seed may interact with some medications.

Is this product suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. GO Healthy Celery 16,000 is encapsulated in a VegeCapsule and is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. It contains no added artificial flavours or preservatives.
