First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether taking probiotics (with or without extra fiber) every day for 6 weeks can lower uric acid levels in people with hyperuricemia. Researchers will enroll 99 adults with high uric acid and compare the probiotic groups to a placebo. They also aim to figure out who benefits most based on gut bacteria, diet, and genetics, with the goal of creating personalized treatments.
