Your feedback

Bay leaf is a gout-safe herb with negligible purines and may offer mild uric-acid-lowering benefits.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • It contains compounds that may mildly inhibit xanthine oxidase and support uric acid reduction. Its negligible purine and no fructose or alcohol make it harmless for gout.
Bad
  • Whole leaves are inedible and must be removed before serving. Clinical evidence of benefit comes mainly from small studies using a different species.
