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.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a natural, personalized dietary supplement to help manage high uric acid levels and reduce gout risk.
