Familiar vegetables are the solution to reduce uric acid

    Hương Giang (Theo ScienceDirect) |

    Mugwort is a familiar medicinal plant that can reduce uric acid and support the treatment of gout.

    Antioxidants:

    Mugwort contains many natural antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and prevent the formation of excess uric acid in the body. These may include flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which protect cells from damage and support metabolism.

    Biological mechanism:

    Compounds in mugwort have the ability to inhibit the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is involved in the conversion of purine into uric acid. By inhibiting the activity of this enzyme, mugwort can help reduce the production of uric acid in the body.

    Improve kidney function:

    Mugwort can support kidney function, helping to remove uric acid from the body more effectively. This can help reduce uric acid levels in the blood, thereby preventing the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, a cause of gout.

    Anti-inflammatory properties:

    One of the key benefits of mugwort is its anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is a major factor in the development of gout, and reducing inflammation can help relieve symptoms and improve a person’s quality of life.
