What section (heading) will I find treatments/information on high levels of uric acid. I've been vegetarian/vegan for 50 years and haven't had alcohol for 30 years and only occasionally have sweet things but I'm predisposed to high levels of uric acid. I've looked at your section on gout but am wondering if there is another section which would give me some more information. I've been adding 30ml apple cider vinegar to my smoothie for many many years and have a smoothie 5 out of 7 days. I've been drinking sour cherry juice for several weeks now and many more of the suggestions. Any ideas?

indigo,
One supplement that may help you lower your uric acid level is Curcumin as discussed here using 1000 mg/day in two divided doses of 500 mg each :
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27124606/#:~:text=Supplementation with curcumin was associated, levels of high-density lipoprotein
Here is a relevant study quote :
' Supplementation with curcumin was associated with a reduction in serum levels of total cholesterol (P < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P < 0.001), triglycerides (P < 0.001), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P < 0.001), and uric acid (P < 0.001), whereas serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and glucose control parameters remained unaltered. Curcumin was safe and well tolerated during this study. '
That p value for uric acid is a significant reduction.
