Is Chilli good for uric acid?

Published in Uric Acid & Diet 1 min read

Chilli is not necessarily good for uric acid and should be used in limited quantities.

According to the provided reference, certain spices, including chilli and pepper, should be used in moderation because they can stimulate the autonomic nervous system, potentially leading to gout recurrence, which is related to uric acid levels. Therefore, while chilli might not directly increase uric acid synthesis like some other foods, it can contribute to gout flare-ups in susceptible individuals.

Aspect Impact of Chilli
Uric Acid Synthesis No direct impact
Gout Recurrence May contribute due to autonomic nervous system stimulation
Recommendation Use in limited quantities
