Joint & Gout Health

Gout is caused when there are higher than normal uric acid levels in the blood causing inflammation and pain. The body can make too much uric acid when consuming a high-purine diet or due to other health conditions. Arthritis is a general term used to define a group of conditions that will cause inflammation within a single joint or multiple joints. Left untreated, arthritis can cause significant disability and impair quality of life.

Treatment should focus on nutrition first, as well as lifestyle adjustments and supplements. This can help provide pain relief, reduce inflammation in the short term, and prevent further attacks and chronic joint damage in the long term by reducing uric acid levels.

If you do not know the cause of your joint pain, see a medical professional to provide you with a diagnosis.
