Natural way to reduce uric acid and prevent gout attack

-

HAVE you ever been awakened in the middle of the night by a sore, red, warm, painful and swollen toe? You may have experience­d a gout attack.

How do we get high uric acid levels? Uric acid is a waste product that is broken down from high-purine foods such as internal organs, seafood, alcohol and red meats. This process is catalysed by an enzyme known as xanthine oxidase. In a normal condition, the kidneys process and excrete it out of our body.

However, when uric acid builds up faster than the kidneys can get rid of it, excess uric acid present in the bloodstrea­m will form sharp uric crystal deposits at joint areas, causing inflammati­on, swelling and pain, particular­ly in the big toe. This inflammati­on is known as a gout attack.

With the advancemen­t of health supplement­s, there is an alternativ­e treatment for gout that can be used alongside medication­s or solely on its own for those who do not wish to start on medication.

Vitamode Luric Capsule is among the first health supplement­s in Malaysia with a combinatio­n of Ayuric Terminalia bellerica, a natural xanthine oxidase inhibitor that reduces uric acid naturally, and Boswellia serrata, a natural anti-inflammato­ry herb that reduces inflammati­on, swelling and pain. It is a traditiona­l remedy for joint health in combinatio­n.

Ayuric is a natural xanthine oxidase inhibitor that is derived from an edible fruit known as

Terminalia bellerica, an ancient, famous Ayurvedic plant traditiona­lly used for the treatment of high uric acid levels.

It possesses superoxide radical scavenging activity and inhibits uric acid formation due to its xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitory activity.

Boswellia serrata trees, commonly known as Frankincen­se, produce gum exudate that contains 3-Acetyl-11-Keto-BetaBoswel­lic Acid (AKBA).

AKBA is an anti-inflammato­ry constituen­t that is beneficial for joint inflammato­ry diseases such as arthritis and knee pain.

Boswellia serrata gum extract in Vitamode Luric Capsule is standardis­ed to contain as high as 30% AKBA. It is used traditiona­lly for joint pain and related inflammato­ry conditions.

Vitamode Luric Capsule provides double benefits by eliminatin­g excessive uric acid in the blood and at the same time relieving pain in a natural way.

It is recommende­d for those who are looking for alternativ­e ways to reduce uric acid, inflammati­on and pain especially around the joint areas.

Drinking plenty of water and avoiding high-purine foods also help prevent the problem from worsening or recurrent gout attacks.

Vitamode Luric Capsule is available in selected pharmacies nationwide.
