Sour cherry juice
One of the most studied juices in supporting gout treatment and reducing uric acid is sour cherry juice.
Drinking 240ml of cherry juice every day for 4 weeks helps reduce the average uric acid concentration by 15%.
Cherries are rich in anthocyanins, natural anti-inflammatory substances that help reduce acute gout attacks and support the excretion of uric acid through the urine.
Dandelion tea
Dandelion tea is used in traditional medicine to cleanse the liver and support excretion. Dandelion has the effect of increasing urine output and reducing uric acid levels through excretion.
taraxasterol and chlorogenic acid in dried dried fruit leaves have been shown to inhibit the enzyme xanthine oxidase, the main enzyme involved in the production of uric acid in the body.
West Ham juice
Celery contains phthalide and natural flavonoids, which help reduce urate crystal arthritis and help filter uric acid through the kidneys.
Celery water has the effect of slightly alkalimizing urine, increasing the solubleness of uric acid, thereby reducing the risk of urate stone formation. Drinking 200-250ml of fresh celery juice every day, without sugar, is a good habit for people at high risk.
Warm, unsweetened lemon juice
Although lemons are sour, when entering the body, lemons are alkaline, helping to increase urine pH, creating favorable conditions for eliminating uric acid. Consuming 2-3 fresh lemons per day mixed with warm water can help reduce uric acid levels in patients with mild gout.
Lemon is also rich in vitamin C, a micronutrient that has been shown to speed up the excretion of uric acid through urine. WHO recommends supplementing at least 75-90mg of vitamin C per day to prevent gout.
Water and coconut water
Drinking enough water is still the most important foundation for lowering uric acid. Water helps dilute uric acid in the blood and promote excretion through the kidneys. According to NIH, drinking 2-2.5 liters of water per day helps reduce the risk of acute gout outbreaks in people with a history of increased uric acid.
Fresh, unsweetened coconut water is also considered a drink that helps supplement electrolytes and has a mild diuretic effect, supporting the kidney filtering process.
Notes when using drinks to lower uric acid
Refined sugar should not be added to juices, as fructose can increase uric acid production.
The beneficial drink should be combined with a diet low in animal protein, avoid organs and seafood high in purines, and increase green vegetables and fresh fruits.
People who are taking uric acid lowering drugs should consult a doctor when adding herbal drinks.
