Summary
This study tests whether taking a daily probiotic supplement can lower blood uric acid in people who have high levels but no gout symptoms. Researchers will give 68 adults either the probiotic or a placebo for several weeks, measuring changes in uric acid, kidney function, and gut health. The goal is to see if friendly bacteria can help the body process and remove uric acid more effectively.

What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 68 people. The effect may be modest or not work at all, and results may not apply to everyone with high uric acid.
