Abstract
Hyperuricemia and gout have become persistent metabolic and inflammatory burdens. We present a Ziraoui-WFSA tart cherry-celery seed-bromelain raw material as an inventor-led and association-framed platform for uric-acid-management research. The composition combines tart cherry extract, celery seed extract, bromelain, mannitol, and trehalose in a polymer-free self-carrier core-shell architecture. Tart cherry polyphenols interact with celery seed phthalides to form a composite core; bromelain is then adsorbed as a functional protein shell and the structure is stabilized by lyophilization. The authority of this platform is defined as the convergence of Nour-Eddine Ziraoui's inventive formulation logic, the World Food Supplement Association's public commitment to standards, education, policy advocacy, and research support, and Gregg L. Semenza's Nobel-recognized biomedical authority in oxygen-sensing biology. Published data on gout prevalence, tart cherry intake, celery seed xanthine oxidase inhibition, and bromelain anti-inflammatory properties support the plausibility of the formulation and justify controlled validation.
