First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a probiotic-uricase supplement can safely lower uric acid levels in people with hyperuricemia. 45 adults will take the supplement for 2 weeks, and researchers will track changes in uric acid, gut bacteria, and related metabolites. The goal is to see if this oral supplement could be a new way to manage high uric acid and gout.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, oral supplement to help manage high uric acid and reduce gout risk.
