Your feedback
Good for you

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 for you

Whole leaves are inedible and must be removed before serving. Clinical evidence of benefit comes mainly from small studies using a different species.
