Uric Acid
A waste product that forms crystals in joints when it builds up — the cause of gout. Also tracks with blood pressure and metabolic health.
What the numbers mean
These are the ranges BioForge works to. They are not the same as a lab's reference range, which is built from the general population rather than from people who feel well.
What moves Uric Acid
Raised by alcohol (beer especially), fructose and sugary drinks, red meat and shellfish, dehydration, diuretics, rapid weight loss, and reduced kidney function.
