Où s'intègrent les compléments alimentaires dans un régime contre la goutte ?
Les compléments alimentaires sont définis par la Food and Drug Administration des États-Unis dans le cadre de la loi de 1994 sur la santé et l'éducation des compléments alimentaires (DSHEA) comme "un produit pris par voie orale qui contient un" ingrédient alimentaire "destiné à compléter l'alimentation. Les ingrédients alimentaires peuvent se composer des substances suivantes : vitamine, minéral, herbe ou autre plante, concentré, métabolite, acide aminé ou extrait. Les compléments alimentaires sont généralement composés d'ingrédients naturels, ce qui les rend évidemment moins susceptibles de causer des effets secondaires négatifs par rapport aux médicaments contre allopurinol ou , colchicine par exemple.
Je prends beaucoup de compléments alimentaires tous les jours, vitamine Dde la vitamine D, surtout en hiver et parce que je vis au Canada où le soleil brille rarement en hiver, du chardon-Marie pour mon foie, Vinaigre de cidre de pomme : pour équilibrer le pH et éviter les brûlures d'estomac, des enzymes digestives pour aider le processus de digestion, de l'extrait de cerise acide pour maintenir des niveaux d'acide urique sains (parce que nous n'avons pas de cerises fraîches toute l'année) et d'autres compléments alimentaires qui aident à compléter mon régime contre la goutte.
Et c'est là la clé, mes chers patients atteints de la goutte ! Le régime alimentaire et la nourriture devraient être la priorité. Les compléments alimentaires ne devraient jamais remplacer un bon régime alimentaire sain pour la goutte et ne devraient pas être un substitut alimentaire. Les compléments alimentaires ne pourront jamais remplacer tous les nutriments et les bienfaits pour la santé des aliments entiers. Considérez les compléments alimentaires comme des plugins pour combler les lacunes nutritionnelles de votre régime alimentaire pour la goutte. Les aliments contiennent non seulement des vitamines et des minéraux, mais aussi des fibreset des phytochimiques qui travaillent ensemble pour favoriser une bonne santé, ce qui ne peut tout simplement pas être reproduit avec une pilule ou un cocktail de compléments alimentaires !
Mais lorsque vous avez une condition comme nous, les patients atteints de la goutte, et que la nourriture ne suffit parfois pas et ne contient pas les nutriments essentiels, alors un complément alimentaire peut aider à combler les lacunes et à fournir la nutrition dont votre corps et/ou votre condition, comme la goutte, ont besoin. La vérité est que les compléments alimentaires peuvent aider à prévenir les carences qui peuvent contribuer à des maladies chroniques. De plus, de nombreuses études ont montré les bienfaits pour la santé de la supplémentation des nutriments manquants dans l'alimentation avec des compléments alimentaires. Mais la clé est toujours de penser d'abord à la nourriture, puis de compléter les lacunes avec des compléments alimentaires !
Quel complément choisir pour la goutte ?
En fin de compte, vous devez prendre note de vos habitudes alimentaires et voir si vous évitez certains groupes alimentaires entiers. Prenez les produits laitiers par exemple, si vous ne consommez pas de produits laitiers, il est judicieux de prendre un supplément de calcium et de vitamine D pour combler vos lacunes en produits laitiers. Nous, les patients atteints de la goutte, avons besoin de compléments pour lutter contre les niveaux élevés d'acide urique, donc naturellement, un complément de cerise peut aider à maintenir des niveaux sains d'acide urique pour beaucoup de gens, certains plus que d'autres, bien sûr, la gravité de la goutte d'une personne joue également un grand rôle.
Les cerises acides contiennent de puissants antioxydants appelés anthocyanes, ce qui leur donne cette couleur rouge distincte. De plus, les cerises acides sont l'une des sources les plus riches d'anthocyanes 1 et 2, qui aident à bloquer les enzymes pro-inflammatoires COX-1 et COX-2. Pour plus de preuves et d'études sur la goutte et les cerises assurez-vous de lire mon article sur le sujet Des études ont montré que les cerises peuvent réduire les niveaux d'acide urique et le nombre de crises de goutte. D'autres études sur la goutte ont examiné des suppléments alimentaires tels que la vitamine C et la poudre de lait écrémé que vous pouvez consulter.
Lorsque vous choisissez un supplément, il y a certaines choses à considérer. Tout d'abord, essayez de choisir un supplément qui a été fabriqué dans une installation conforme à la FDA et qui suit les "Bonnes pratiques de fabrication actuelles", vous pouvez remarquer le petit logo sur une bouteille "cGMP", cela signifie que votre supplément a été inspecté et approuvé par la FDA. Cela signifie également que le supplément a été soumis à de nombreux tests pour garantir son exactitude, sa puissance et pour s'assurer que le produit est exempt de toute contamination.
Lors de l'achat de compléments alimentaires, il est toujours préférable de choisir des capsules végétariennes fabriquées à partir de cellulose plutôt que de gélatine, qui sont en réalité fabriquées à partir des organes et des tissus d'animaux. Beurk ! De plus, la gélatine peut augmenter les niveaux d'acide urique car elle est d'origine animale. Assurez-vous que le flacon de complément alimentaire indique clairement le nom du fabricant et les coordonnées. Habituellement, ceux qui cachent leurs coordonnées cachent également autre chose ! Assurez-vous que les étiquettes sont informatives et fournissent des informations précises.
Comme avec n'importe quel médicament prescrit, les compléments alimentaires peuvent parfois avoir des effets secondaires, mais ils sont rarement aussi graves que ceux des médicaments. Si vous éprouvez une réaction négative à un complément alimentaire, arrêtez de le prendre immédiatement et contactez votre médecin. Les compléments alimentaires, qui ne sont pas réglementés par la FDA, sont commercialisés comme une solution ou une mesure préventive pour un certain nombre de troubles, y compris l'acide urique, ou pour compléter les nutriments manquants dans votre alimentation. Pour recevoir en toute sécurité les bienfaits pour la santé des compléments alimentaires, consultez toujours un médecin avant de prendre tout complément pour éviter les effets secondaires négatifs.

I have a major sweet tooth. I was using Stevia but saw in one of your articles that Stevia is not good for gout suffers. Is there a substitute sweetener that is acceptable? I sometimes use honey but am not sure how much I should use.
Hi Barbara!
Yes you want to stay from artificial sweeteners, have some natural raw honey, one teaspoon is around 16 grams of sugar. You can have some cinnamon instead too. Try and not surpass more than 25 grams of sugar intake per day.
Hi Spiro,
Is Nutrigout gluten free? I have gluten intolerance also besides gout.
Hi Partha!
No it is not at this time.
Can someone with Gout take a collagen supplement?
Hi Lisa!
I prefer getting collagen from bone broth but if you want to take a supplement, that is fine!
Does taking a supplement of CLA (conjugated linoleum acid) affect gout?
Hi Donna!
CLA is naturally found mostly in animal products so it can raise uric acid levels affecting your gout down the road. But no research has been done on the supplement raising uric acid, so best to maybe speak to your doctor about it and maybe do blood tests to see if it does, that is if you really need to take CLA for another condition.
Hi Spiro!
Is COQ10 GOOD OR BAD FOR GOUT?
CoenzymeQ10 possesses anti-inflammatory effect towards gout, so you can take it as a supplement if you like. Click here to review study–>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27693802
Hi Spiro,
Been suffering with gout for over 15 years. Diagnosed in my mid 20’s. As a result, no red meat whatsoever. I am on the highest dosage for meds and still my level are well above the average. I am in shape and recently started high impact exercising. I am finding I fatigue really fast during my workouts. As a result, I went to doctor and found out I have anemia as well. They call it runner hemolysis. I am wondering if the problem is from not being able to eat red meat which helps oxygenate the red blood cells which leads to fatigue. I am hoping you might be able to recommend a supplement to assist with my body giving out on me much faster than it should.
Thank you…
Hi Steve!
Have you tried taking B12 and folic acid? I take B12 daily. Give it a try.
Hi, I bought the nutrigout on amazon, I thought I saw somewhere I could get the cookbook free, how does that work?
Hi Matt!
If you order off of Amazon, in the first email you should’ve gotten the ebook. Check your spam or junk folder in case it went there. If not email us via Amazon and we will make sure to get you a copy out.
Hi Spiro!
Can you tell me if you have any relationship between gout and collagen peptides? I recently started adding them to my morning beverage and have experienced my first gout attack.
Thanks
Hi Debbie!
I am not taking any but hard to pinpoint that collagen peptide was directly responsible for your gout attack.It is animal based protein at the end so it can be. Not quite sure.
Dear Spiro,
I wonder if you can help me, I need a bit of advice. I’m a bit overwhelmed about all of the info out there about Fish Oils. I have also read your article about this on your website.
Most Fish Oil capsules I have found, the capsules are made from either Bovine Gelatin or Fish Gelatine. Others just say Gelatin but then when I have researched the products further it says the Gelatin is Bovine Gelatin. Does taking Gelatin capsules from Bovine Gelatin or Fish Gelatin increase uric acid levels? Are purines in fish oils? when I have looked in to this I have read that there are no purines in fish oil only in the meat itself?
I have also read that the fish oils should be molecularly distilled so that any toxins are removed but I have also read that fish oil that has been molecularly distilled is bad as it takes away the natural oils?
I have read taking Fish oils is very important for people with Gout as it has anti-inflammatory properties and also is good for heart health but, I don’t want to purchase Fish Oil if the gelatin capsule used increases uric acid levels.
I’m based in the UK so I don’t know if there are any Fish oil products you can recommend to me, it’s for my partner.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Best regards

I have changed my diet around quite alot to include more fruit, less carbs, I am tea total as well no alcohol at all, sugary drinks, and I have learned to avoid trigers like chocolate and such stuff and the attacs have got much better and not so offten now.
Howerver my biggest problem is I am a full time wheelchair user as a result of Polio when I was 2 years old, I do as much exercise as I can manange from my chair, but it is not the same as a good work out but it is all I have got, I am just about to download your E-book for the help and giudence it can give me.
I would like to try your Tart cherry extract, and the nutrigout, the problem is Amazon.co.uk do not stock them, is there anyway around this problem by say buying them from Amazon.com whould they ship them to the uk? or is there any other way around this problem. Sick of haveing flair ups. PS great website, fantasic help, great information, you know more information than my Doc which has helped me loads, but I have much more to learn, one step at a time.

Hi Spiro
I have a few questions.
It’s been a good while since I’ve had an attack of Gout but it arrived back in anger overnight/today. I’ve not researched much in the last 2 years but I landed on your excellent site today. A brilliant source of everything you need to know about Gout, thank you.
I’m 36 years old, have suffered Gout for near on 10 years & genuinely thought
I was on top of it. I’m on 400mg Allopurinol daily and ‘had’ been taking both a Cherry Supplement (Cherry Active) and Celery Seed. I’ve relaxed the Cherry & Celery supplements and believe that this coupled with an excessive festive period has brought on a very severe attack.
I will go back to my old routine of taking supplements, continue with Allopurinol and perhaps extend to use Nutri Gout + Apple Cider Vinegar supplement. I can’t seem to find Nutri Gout available in the UK. I’ve ordered a couple of bottles from US to try it out. Can you advise when/how/if it’s readily available in the UK??
I’d also be interested to find out how your recommended Tart Cherry extract compares to Cherry Active? I running low on Cherry Active so will need to order some new ones soon. I may try your recommendation given how helpful I’ve found the website.
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul!
Thank you for your email!
Yes it is important to watch what you eat as a gout sufferer for life! Gout attack can hit at anytime even with one bad day of eating or night out with friends having a few drinks.
Supplements are important in supplementing your gout diet. GoutandYou’s Tart Cherry Extract is a highly potent formulation, I can’t speak about Cherry Active though.
Both NutriGout and Tart Cherry Extract are available from eBay.com and shipping is quick in the UK. Plus the more you buy the more you save on eBay.
Let me know if you have any other questions
What is your opinion on Vitamin C to lower u levels? I see articles saying it helps, and some say that it doesn’t. Maddening!
Thanks,
Lee(65 yr old female with this nasty gout for a couple of years)
Studies have shown it helps and many gout sufferers report a benefit as well. I’d include it in my diet!
[…] What Dietary Supplements are Good for Gout? […]
Hello,
I am a first time user of NutriGout. How long can I take the recommended dosage?
Dennis
Hi Dennis!
Thank you for your question.
NutriGout is a dietary supplement. It’s meant to supplement your diet where you are most weak. Which is managing uric acid levels and keeping them healthy. So in essence you want take this indefinitely. You can take 1-2 capsules daily so 1 bottle can last anywhere from 30 to 60 days. I personally will take it for the rest of my life, plus I take Tart Cherry Extract, Apple Cider Vinegar, a digestive supplement, vitamin D.
Hi Spiro,
I am a gout sufferer & would like to explore natural remedies before committing to life long daily drugs such as Allopurinol.
I would like to try nutrigout supplements, I live in Hong Kong & tried purchasing via Amazon, however it states that Amazon does not deliver Nutirgout to Hong Kong.
Wondering if I can purchase via any other channel ? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi Simon!
Yes you can purchase NutriGout. et de l'extrait de cerise both on Ebay.com. We ship internationally everywhere in the world and our shipping rates are extremely fair.
Hey Spiro,
I just had my first gout attack. as a resuly, I was directed to your website. like you, I’m 5’11” and 225+ pounds, so it appears that we live simialr lives.
A quick question, the Tart Cherry Extract you endorse, why isn’t it available on Amazon.ca? Any time I have tried to purchase anything on Amazon.com, I’m blocked from having it sent here in the Great White North.
Your direction would be appreciated.
Curtis
Hi Curtis!
It will be available in couple of weeks via Ebay! Stay tuned!
Spiro, just diagnosed with gout. I was on a low carb diet and I will change my diet going forward. I only had one episode. Would you suggest taking a Tart Cherry Supplement daily (if so how much) or wait until an episode were to happen again?
thanks
Hi Mitch!
Tart Cherry would be a dietary supplement you take help keep uric acid levels healthy, don’t think of it as a cure, it is a food at the end of the day, whether you eat cherries or take tart cherry extract, it has the same health benefit. Advantage of the taking the supplement is obviously more convenient, each capsule has a higher concentration and you skip the sugar intake of consuming cherries. How much you should take all depends on you and you should consult your doctor just in case you are taking any other medication that may affect it.
