Testing GOS for lowering high uric acid
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a prebiotic called GOS (a type of dietary fiber) can help lower high uric acid levels naturally, without medication. If you have high uric acid and want a non-drug option, this trial may be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether taking prebiotics (special plant fibers that feed healthy gut bacteria) can help lower high uric acid levels. If you have high uric acid but are not on medication for it, this study may offer a natural approach to manage your condition.
This study tests whether probiotic supplements (live beneficial bacteria) can help lower uric acid levels in people with asymptomatic hyperuricemia—high uric acid in the blood without gout symptoms. Researchers believe probiotics may improve how your body processes uric acid.
This study tests whether a probiotic food supplement can lower high uric acid levels, which often cause gout. It might help you if your uric acid is high but you haven't had a recent gout attack.
This trial tests whether a special probiotic supplement combined with an enzyme can help lower uric acid levels in your blood. High uric acid can cause gout and kidney problems, so this treatment may help prevent those conditions.
This study looks at how certain fibers and probiotics might affect uric acid levels in your body. You'll provide a stool sample, and it will be tested in a lab to see if these ingredients can help lower uric acid.
This study tests a new bacterial therapy that lowers urate (a waste product) in healthy people. Researchers want to see how it affects the small intestine and sugar-related markers, and why it might help conditions like gout.
