Vitamin C Lessens Gout Risk in Certain Men
A recent large scale study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine 2009 Mar 9;169(5):502-7, reports that men who started the study with no gout history lowered their risk of developing the painful condition over a 20 year period by taking vitamin C. Doses were at least above 250 mg/day, and the highest benefit appeared to come from vitamin C supplements at levels of 1000-1500 mg/day. The authors concluded that high levels of vitamin C intake can lower the risk of gout in men.
