100% tangerine juice is a moderate option for people with gout. It contains vitamin C, which may help lower uric acid levels, and is naturally low in purines. However, tangerine juice is high in fruit sugar (fructose), which can raise uric acid levels in some people. Portion control is important — stick to a small glass (4–6 oz / 120–180 ml) rather than drinking freely. Avoid added-sugar versions or blends with high-fructose corn syrup. Whole tangerines are generally preferred over juice because they provide fiber and less concentrated sugar.
