Excess Uric Acid and Vitamin C for Gout? It is a Good Idea,
#1
Sad 
[size=4][b]Excess Uric Acid - Vitamin C for Gout? It is a Good Idea, but There's a Caution If You Use It as a Gout Treatment[/b][/size][hr]Should you take Vitamin C for gout? The answer is probably yes, but read on for a possibly relevant caution. Gout cures require that uric acid levels be reduced. Vitamins and drugs work in two ways to reduce uric acid levels. One is restricting its supply by inhibiting purine breakdown into uric acid, the other is improving uric acid's breakdown into the urine. Vitamin C is thought to be a uric acid excretory, not an inhibitor. Improving excretion may be more important than reducing production.

5 mg/dL is a useful reduction but for most people probably not a natural remedy for gout, although the 0.5 mg/dL figure is an average and some participants did better. But a 0.5mg/dL reduction will not be enough to reduce uric acid below the 6.0 mg/dL level at which the MSU crystals may dissolve. However, when combined with other vitamins for gout, a low purine diet and other natural remedies for gout, it could be. What we have written here about Gout Attack can be considered to be a unique composition on Gout Attack. Let's hope you appreciate it being unique.

[size=large][b]VITAMIN C as a GOUT PREVENTOR[/b][/size][hr]If 500 mg daily of Vitamin C can reduce uric acid levels, then Vitamin C ought to act as a preventative gout vitamin too. A Taiwan study of males in the late 1990's examined the weight, diet and lifestyles of gout and non-gout sufferers in Taiwan. It concluded that Vitamin C, folic acid (folate) and fibre were protective against gout. There are universal applications on Gout Purine everywhere. However, it is up to us to decide the way used for these applications to get the best results from them.

[size=large][b]However, Restricting Purines in Your Diet is Not Difficult, So It is Still Worth Doing[/b][/size][hr]The conventional wisdom may be correct. Uric acid level tests should tell if a low purine diet works for you. We do hope that you find the information here something worth recommending others to read and think about once you complete reading all there is about Purine.

[list][*]One complicating factor is that elusive fact that most people with hyperuricemia (excess uric acid)do not get gout.[*]Another is that some people with normal uric acid levels do.[*]As you progress deeper and deeper into this composition on Uric Acid Levels, you are sure to unearth more information on Uric Acid Levels.[*]The information becomes more interesting as the deeper you venture into the composition.[/list]

Also reached the well-known and accepted conclusion that hypertension (high blood pressure) and obesity are risk factors for gout. And one other very different conclusion from the conventional wisdom about purines -- purine intake, with the exception of alcohol, was NOT associated with a risk of gout. It is only if you find some usage for the matter described here on Gout Attack that we will feel the efforts put in writing on Gout Attack fruitful. So make good usage of it!

[list][*]Previously it has been thought that the amount needed was at least 4,000 mg (4 grams) daily.[*]For example, Dr.[*]Robert Atkins in his book " Vita Nutrient Solutions," recommended 5,000 -10,000 mg as part of his formula natural remedy for gout.[/list]

Few studies over the past 30 years have concluded that Vitamin C will reduce the uric acid level. They have differed in the amount of Vitamin C given to study participants. A U.S. study of 184 non-smokers, published in 2005, concluded that the amount required to achieve a serum (blood) uric acid level reduction was 500 mg daily. (The Vitamin C was taken as a supplement). This is not a mega dose. Looking for something logical on Uric Acid, we stumbled on the information provided here. Look out for anything illogical here.

Quote:[list][*]The 2005 study by how much did 500 mg of Vitamin C reduce their uric acid level?[*]It found an average, across all participants, reduction of about 10% ( 5 mg/dL).[*]In addition, reductions were larger among participants who had higher levels of uric acid at the start of the study.[*]Participants took the 500 mg daily level for two months.[*]Those who were given a placebo (i.e. not Vitamin C) showed a slight increase in uric acid levels.[*]Saying that all that is written here is all there is on Gout Sufferers would be an understatement.[*]Very much more has to be learnt and propagated bout Gout Sufferers. :o[/list]

[size=large][b]The CAUTION[/b][/size][hr]Rapid changes in uric acid levels can trigger a gout attack. This rapid change can be brought about by many factors in addition to possibly mega doses of Vitamin C and by drugs such as probenecid and sulfinpyrazone. People who are susceptible to gout must consider these rapid changes.

[size=large][b]1,000 MG PLUS DOSES[/b][/size][hr]If you wish to try Vitamin C for gout in doses over 1,000 mg as part of a natural gout remedy discuss it with your doctor or a qualified naturopathic doctor. The 500 mg level is below the British government's 1,000 mg (1 gram) recommended upper safety level safety limit for Vitamin C. It is half of the maximum amount (1,000 mg) in a Vitamin C tablet sold in the U.S. and many other countries. So after reading what we have mentioned here on Gout, it is up to you to provide your verdict as to what exactly it is that you find fascinating here.

The most basic point of any good gout prevention diet is to reduce gout symptoms. This is achieved by lowering the levels of purine rich foods in the diet as these often trigger gout by raising the amount of uric acid in the blood, which in turn makes the pain worse.

Though a doctor can help with the quest for a good gout prevention diet, there are some things a person can learn on their own. The problem with this type of diet is that it eliminates many of the foods that men typically love to eat, and gout is something that occurs almost exclusively among the male population. A gout dies doesn't have to mean the end of good eating however, but it might mean learning to love some new foods and finding new ways to enjoy time tested favorites. It is rather inviting to go on writing on Gout. however as there is a limitation to the number of words to be written, we have confined ourselves to this. However, do enjoy yourself reading it.

One great thing about concocting a gout friendly diet is that medications help more than ever, and the diet does not have to be quite as restrictive as they used to be. However, that does not mean a person can eat whatever they want, whenever they want, without risking a flare up. Writing is something that has to be done when one is in the mood to write. So when we got in the mood to write about Purines, nothing could stop us from writing!
