Testing GOS for lowering high uric acid
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary 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 taking a daily probiotic supplement can lower uric acid levels in people who have high uric acid but no gout symptoms. If you qualify, you would take either a probiotic or a placebo (fake) for a period of time, and researchers will see if the probiotic helps your body process uric acid better.
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 study tests a new bacterial treatment that might lower uric acid levels. It involves a small procedure to look at your gut, and will check how it affects your body’s genes and sugars. It’s for healthy people, so it may help researchers see if the treatment is safe and what it does.
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 probiotic supplement combined with a uric-acid-lowering enzyme to help people with high uric acid levels improve their uric acid metabolism. It may help reduce the risk of gout and related health problems.
