This food is very concentrated, so a small serving goes a long way. We don't suggest a larger amount.

Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.

Diet is part of the picture, not all of it

For most people the body makes the majority of its own uric acid. Food contributes the smaller share. Eating well lowers your risk and helps you feel in control, but for many people diet alone does not bring uric acid down enough to stop flares. Medication often does the heavy lifting. Use these grades to make easier daily choices, and work with your doctor on the full plan.
