I can provide information about supplements that may help with managing gout, but for a detailed diet plan, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or a dietitian.
Gout is mainly managed through diet and lifestyle. Some supplements that can be helpful in managing symptoms of gout and preventing flare-ups include:
- Vitamin C: Research has shown that Vitamin C can help lower uric acid levels1.
- Cherries or Cherry Extract: Cherries have been associated with reduced uric acid levels and lower risk of gout attacks2.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil, these can help reduce inflammation associated with gout3.
- Folic Acid: Some studies suggest that folic acid can help inhibit xanthine oxidase, which is involved in producing uric acid4.
- Turmeric: Contains curcumin which has strong anti-inflammatory properties that may help with gout5.
