Obese Indian adults who followed a personalized nutrigenetic diet for four months had lower uric acid levels than before starting the diet.

See the scientific wording

In obese Indian adults, a personalized nutrigenetic diet was associated with a significant reduction in uric acid levels after four months compared to baseline, suggesting potential benefits for metabolic and inflammatory health.

Why this might work

Genes that control how the body breaks down purines from food and makes uric acid change how the liver handles these substances. When the diet matches a person’s genetic profile, the liver produces less uric acid and clears it more efficiently, lowering its level in the blood.

    Obese Indian adults who ate a diet customized to their genes saw their uric acid levels go down after four months, while those on a regular diet didn’t see the same drop. This suggests the personalized diet may help reduce inflammation and gout risk.
