Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether daily intake of 500 mg of quercetin, a flavonoid found in foods like onions, can lower blood uric acid levels in healthy men with slightly elevated uric acid.
  • Results showed that after 4 weeks, quercetin significantly reduced plasma uric acid levels by about 2.65 micromoles per liter, without affecting blood pressure or blood sugar levels.
  • The findings suggest that quercetin supplementation might be an effective and natural way to lower uric acid levels, potentially reducing risks for gout and related metabolic conditions.

Another reason why i like quercetin and taurine is their impact on gout. *There are many papers on this. These 3 are just a basic example. https://t.co/3gnkaLpIdr https://t.co/dGSK5IiKXh https://t.co/cAby6dO1FO https://t.co/rw3IitWV3j

@Eddmoose53 So given that you have reduced oxalate in your diet, what can help with uric acid…? Interestingly enough - quercetin! Note that quercetin can be helpful with a host of things; do you have any allergies? https://t.co/lpei7fjbW8

@MatthewPenn @SBakerMD Can try quercetin, which is thought to work as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, which is how Allopurinol works. https://t.co/qbqsosFQ6A

https://t.co/xvRXtyXFsn "Daily supplementation of 500 mg quercetin, containing the bioavailable amount of quercetin as present in approximately 100 g red onions, for 4 weeks, significantly reduces elevated plasma uric acid concentrations in healthy males."
