Way to Reduce Uric Acid & Prevent Gout in Body

What is Gout?

Is a common form of inflammatory arthritis and caused by an elevation of serum uric acid levels that lead crystal to start accumulate in the joints.

What cause Gout happen?

Uric acid is waste material created from the normal break down of purines. Purines is a natural substance found in foods for example meat, poultry, seafood, liver, beans, mushrooms, anchovies and mackerel. Usually, uric acid will remove from blood by kidney and excrete out of body along with urine. However, when kidney unable remove the uric acid effectively or body produce too much uric acid, the excessive uric acid will start to accumulate and cause high amount of uric acid in body. This condition is known as hyperuricemia. Eventually high amount of uric acid in blood convert the acid into urate crystals which start accumulated at parts of body like joints and soft tissues. The uric acid crystal will trigger inflammation of joints to start swelling and painful.
