Website design By BotEap.comVitamin C in high doses

Website design By BotEap.comNot only can red wine lower uric acid levels, but vitamin C can do the same as well. High-dose vitamin C lowers uric acid levels in most gout sufferers. However, for some people with gout, high doses of vitamin C make their condition worse.

Website design By BotEap.comA dose of 500 mg per day significantly reduces uric acid levels in most gout sufferers.
