What Is It?
Urica combines a high dose of morin-rich mulberry extract with supportive doses of resveratrol and grape seed extract.
What Does It Do?
Primary Uses: Urica is designed to reduce uric acid levels in the body, thereby reducing the risk of gout. Gout develops from high uric acid levels which form crystals that are deposited in the cartilage of the joints, leading to extremely painful inflammation and swelling of the joints. The most common target of gout is the joints of the big toe and feet. Morin acts on the kidneys to inhibit uric acid reabsorption and thus promote the excretion of uric acid from the body. Secondly, it inhibits the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which converts certain compounds into uric acid. Polyphenols from resveratrol and grape seed extract also act on the kidneys and reduce xanthine oxidase activity. Gout is often associated with a high consumption of fat, protein and alcohol.
Who Should Take It?
This formula may benefit those with gout, high uric acid levels or kidney dysfunction.
