Reduce uric acid naturally

-

HAVE you ever been woken up in the middle of the night from 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 which is broken down from high purine foods, such as internal organs, seafood, alcohol and red meat. This process is catalysed by the enzyme known as xanthine oxidase. Normally, 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 crystals and deposit it at joint areas, causing inflammati­on, swelling and pain, particular­ly in the big toe. This type of inflammati­on is also known as a gout attack.

With advancemen­ts in health supplement­s, there is an alternativ­e treatment for gout which 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 which reduces uric acid naturally, and Boswellia serrata, a natural anti-inflammato­ry herb which reduces inflammati­on, swelling and pain. It is a traditiona­l remedy for joint health in combinatio­n.

Ayuric, a natural xanthine oxidase inbihitor that is derived from the edible fruit known as Terminalia bellerica, a 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-Acetyl11-Keto-Beta-Boswellic Acid (AKBA). AKBA is an anti-inflammato­ry constituen­t which 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 levels in the blood while, at the same time, relieves 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.
