Hawthorn can lower uric acid this claim lacks relevant scientific basis, lowering uric acid treatment needs to use relevant medication, such as benzbromarone and so on. Hawthorn contains carotene, riboflavin, vitamin C, dietary fiber and calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients, after consumption for the human body to supplement the required nutrients, but at present there is no reliable laboratory evidence to prove that hawthorn contains any one of the substances can reduce the uric acid concentration level in the human body. It should be noted that although hawthorn itself has low purine content, but because hawthorn is rich in organic acids, excessive consumption of hawthorn may lead to acidification of urine and thus reduce uric acid excretion, patients with high uric acid can control uric acid level in the body by strictly avoiding food, improving lifestyle, etc., and if necessary, they should also take uric acid-lowering medications such as phenylbromarone, febuxostat and so on as prescribed by the doctor. Gout patients are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals for a detailed consultation, and follow the prescribed medication, do not listen to the prescription.
