With Vitamin C, Theres No Gout About It

Researchers: Vitamin C a Useful Option in Gout Avoidance

Late last summer I wrote about gout. For those unfamiliar with the condition, gout is a type of chronic arthritis that causes severe pain in and around the joints, all thanks to the overproduction of uric acid. Uric acid is something that all bodies produce, but they primarily form when purines break down. Purines come from foods meats, in particular but they are also the natural by-product of the bodys cells. Vitamin C supplement Anyway, last summer I wrote about a drink that increased ones chances of getting gout soda pop. Today Im doing just the opposite writing about something that decreases ones chances of getting gout. What does this something happen to be? Vitamin C. According to researchers from the University of British Columbia, men who take 500 milligrams of vitamin C a day decrease their risk of getting gout by about 17 percent. Published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers looked at approximately 47,000 men to see what health and disease traits they had in common based on their age and their lifestyle habits. The 20-year study found that those men who consumed large doses of vitamin C daily decreased their risk of vitamin C precipitously. For instance, those men who consumed over 1,500 mg of vitamin C daily were almost 50 percent less likely to develop gout than those men who consumed less than 250 mg per day! Researchers estimate the risk of developing gout drops by about 17 percent for every 500 milligrams consumed daily. Because vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, large daily doses of vitamin C can be handled by the body without posing any short or long term risk. However, you should always play it safe and consult your doctor before making any significant changes to your dietary regimen. In the meantime, large doses of vitamin C are best acquired through supplementation. I never discourage someone from getting their vitamins primarily from food, but to get 1,500 mg of vitamin C daily, youd have to eat around 14 oranges (granted, oranges arent the worlds best source of vitamin C peppers are but you get my drift)! And considering the fact that 1,500 mg really isnt all that much, youre better off supplementing with vitamin C to get its full array of benefits. I dont pretend to know what gout feels like, and quite frankly, I dont want to know. People compare the pain to giving childbirth (another thing Ive never experienced, and happily, will never have to) or a bone fracture. And from what I understand, the painful flare-ups can last anywhere from three to 10 days. Ouch! Do yourself and your joints a favor: Eat more vegetables (most vegetables are low in purines), eat less meat (meats and cheeses are high in purines, especially organ meats) and start supplementing with vitamin C (a purine defeater).
