Apple cider is generally safe for most people with gout, but should be consumed in moderation due to its natural sugar (fructose)

Good
  • Apple cider provides antioxidants (polyphenols) that may reduce oxidative stress and inflammation – helpful in managing gout flares. It is also hydrating, which aids uric acid excretion through urine.
Bad
  • Contains natural and often added sugars, including fructose. Fructose metabolism increases uric acid production. Many commercial ciders have added sugar, making them worse. Alcoholic (hard) cider directly raises uric acid and impairs kidney excretion – a double risk for gout patients. Overconsumption can trigger flares.
