How it works
Vitamin C is uricosuric — it increases renal excretion of uric acid by competing for reabsorption in the kidney tubules.
Effect size is modest — approximately 0.5mg/dL reduction in uric acid. Best used as a complementary approach alongside dietary changes.
Meta-analysis of 13 RCTs confirmed vitamin C supplementation significantly lowers serum uric acid by a modest but consistent amount.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
