Thank you for your interest in our protocol to support the treatment of gout and high uric acid levels.
Nutritional Support for Gout: A Standard Process Protocol
Gout flares—intense pain, swelling, and redness often in the big toe or foot—stem from elevated uric acid forming crystals in joints. While medical treatments (e.g., allopurinol, colchicine, NSAIDs) are primary, whole-food nutritional support can help promote healthy uric acid metabolism, kidney function, fluid balance, and joint comfort.
Standard Process supplements provide bioavailable nutrients from organic sources to support these processes. This practitioner-inspired protocol is educational only and complements—not replaces—your prescribed gout management plan.
Disclaimer (Bold, prominent box) This information is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Standard Process products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent gout. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting supplements, especially with kidney disease, medications, or during acute flares. Monitor serum uric acid levels regularly (target typically <6 mg/dL).
Key Lifestyle Foundations (essential for success)
- Hydrate aggressively (3+ liters of water/day) to support uric acid excretion
- Follow a low-purine diet: limit red meat, organ meats, shellfish, beer, sugary drinks; emphasize cherries, berries, vegetables
- A low-oxalate diet can indirectly help manage gout and support lower uric acid levels by reducing the overall burden on the kidneys and urinary system. High-oxalate foods (like spinach, almonds, chocolate, and certain nuts) can promote calcium oxalate crystal formation, which may coexist with or exacerbate uric acid issues—especially in people prone to mixed kidney stones or hyperuricosuria (elevated urinary uric acid)
- Maintain a healthy weight and avoid rapid changes
- Manage triggers (alcohol, dehydration, stress)
Concise Standard Process Protocol for Gout & Uric Acid Support
| Focus | Recommended Product(s) | Suggested Dosage (per label / common practitioner use) | Key Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fluid Balance & Urine Excretion (Core) | A-C Carbamide® | 3 capsules daily (with meals) | Supports healthy urine formation and cellular fluid levels to aid uric acid elimination |
| Kidney & Urinary Tract Support (Core) | Arginex® or Renafood® | 2–3 tablets daily (with meals) | Provides kidney-supportive nutrients (e.g., vitamin A, oat flour) for filtration and detox; often recommended for gout-related kidney stress |
| Urinary Tract & Fluid Balance (Enhance excretion) | UriCo Phytosynergist® (MediHerb) | 1 tablet 2–3× daily (with meals) | Herbal blend (Couch Grass, Buchu, Echinacea, Licorice) traditionally used to support urinary flow and kidney function |
| Joint Comfort & Inflammation (During/after flares) | Boswellia Complex or Turmeric Forte | Boswellia: 1–2 tablets 2× daily Turmeric Forte: 1 capsule 2× daily | Promotes healthy inflammatory response and joint mobility; helps ease gout pain and swelling |
| Optional Add-On (Mineral balance) | Phosfood® Liquid | 10–15 drops in water daily | Supports phosphorus/calcium equilibrium, sometimes helpful in metabolic balance |
Sample Daily Starter Regimen (Begin here for most patients)
- Morning (with breakfast): A-C Carbamide (3 caps) + Arginex/Renafood (2–3 tabs) + UriCo Phytosynergist (1 tab)
- Midday/Evening (with meals): UriCo Phytosynergist (1–2 tabs) + Boswellia Complex (1–2 tabs if joint pain present)
Duration & Monitoring
- Trial for 8–12 weeks
- Reassess: Track flare frequency, joint pain, and blood uric acid levels
- During acute flares: Prioritize rest, ice, elevation, and prescribed meds; add supplements gradually once stable
