The following makes it more likely that you will develop hyperuricemia, which causes gout: In a recent study from Applied Sciences and Technology in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Muar, Malaysia, various plants were identified as possessing anti-gout activity. These plants had higher percentages of xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity (>85%). Sophora Flavescens Extract:The powerful anti-inflammatory effects ofthis herb reduce inflammation, and swelling and lower blood uric acid levels and confer respite to gout attacks. Another study showed that in subjects with high levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia), their serum uric acid level was reduced. Cnidium Monnieri Cuss Extract:Known to be useful for the treatment of hyperuricemia or gout in traditional medicine, and its active ingredient, osthol, is expected to be a leading compound for the development of new drugs for hyperuricemia. Borneol:A few studies further analyzed and isolated the bioactive compounds present in the borneol that exerted the highest xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, allowing them to act as xanthine oxidase inhibitors by blocking the biosynthesis of uric acid from purine in the body. Propylene Glycol:This formulation may have the best likelihood of both reducing inflammation and helping re-dissolve the MSU crystals that cause gout. Stemona Japonica Extract:It has been used in Korean and Chinese traditional medicine to help treat gout, by reducing swelling and inflammation and relieving pain. 1/2/5/10 Pcs x GoutAid Inflammatory Pain Cream
