Full transcript

Uric acid is the number that answers to fructose and alcohol faster than almost anything else on the panel. It is the end product of purine metabolism, and elevated values raise gout, kidney-stone and hypertension risk while tracking with metabolic syndrome. Optimal sits at the low end of normal: three and a half to five and a half for men, two and a half to five for women. Six to seven is elevated. Seven and above is hyperuricemia. Cut high-fructose drinks and alcohol, two litres of water a day. Recurrent gout or stones go to a clinician. agegen.ai. Generate your prime age! ~~ Mr. Age
