A new study conducted by Stephen Juraschek and team found that in middle-aged male physicians, vitamin C slightly decreased the likelihood of new gout diagnosis. The findings of this study were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
A 500 mg/d vitamin C supplement may lower blood urate, according to short-term randomized trials, however vitamin E appears to have an opposite relationship with the risk of developing gout, according to observational research. In order to determine the impact of supplementary vitamin C (prespecified main exposure) and vitamin E (prespecified secondary exposure) on gout diagnosis, this study was carried out.
