Best gout vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements and a very useful free databaseWhich are the best gout vitamins? Although it’s true that vitamins and minerals are best obtained from foods that contain them (and the fresher the better), manufactured vitamins ensure that, whatever is happening with your gout diet, you’re getting the vitamins you need in the amounts you require. If you seek a better gout diet, these gout vitamins should be part of it. Foods containing the vitamins listed here are also in the explanations you will read when you click on the gout vitamins and nutrients listed below. So you'll learn which foods you need to eat to intake these vitamins. There are also details about how each vitamin works,or may work, and why they are good for gout treatment.
COMING Pantothenic acid,Folic Acid(folate),Potassium, Milk Thistle, Calcium. Vitamins and drug medications For a better gout diet a multivitamin/mineral tablet containing, (among all the others in the product’s formula), the following vitamins and minerals should be taken: (discuss with your doctor first): Vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, Folic Acid (Folate), Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Selenium, Zinc. Why? Because if you take drug medications for gout, you should note that colchicine, corticosteroids, allopurinol, NSAIDs and others deplete vitamin and mineral levels in the body especially these ones. Note: All vitamin dosages are a guide only. They are not medical advice.Consult your doctor or a qualified naturopathic doctor(N.D).
USDA National Nutrient Database for WindowsIf you wish to know the amounts of nutrients in each food and in beverages, including alcoholic beverages visit this website. The database here is another excellent and free nutritional resource from the U.S. government, in this case from the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory, Agriculture Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and HealtheTech Inc.We estimate that if all this free data was published in book format it would cost at least US$40. It can be searched online for the vitamin, mineral, water, ash, protein, calorie, carbohydrate, fats, fibre (fiber), cholestrol, sugars, caffeine and others, of foods and beverages. The standard amount (default setting) is for 100 grams, (or fluid ounces in the case of beverages) but you can alter this figure to for example 200 grams or other amounts for foods. Or specific amounts of fluid ounces in the case of beverages. Additionally, for example, do you want to know the top foods and beverages for a certain vitamin (e.g. potassium or folic acid) sorted by nutrient content amount, from highest to lowest? The results, called reports, (about 25 pages) will arrive in Adobe Reader format and can then be downloaded to your PC. Or, you can sort the results alphabetically by foods or beverages, and download the reports in Adobe Reader. e.g. do you want an alphabetical list (A to Z) of all the foods and beverages in the database containing potassium (or whatever nutrient), and how much each food and beverage contains? Even better than this, you can also download this database free-of-charge to conduct your own investigations on your own computer offline and on Palm OS PDA's. (It’s not the same as the flavonoids database found elsewhere on this website, which is for the flavonoid content of selected foods only). It works with computers running Windows PC. You will need to be running Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME or Windows 98SE. It uses about 90mb of hard drive disk space, 70mb for the database application, 20mb for the installer. There is also an 11 page downloadable guide in Adobe Reader which explains how to download, and how to use the database. The whole process has been made very straightforward and easy to use. This database does not however have information on the purines content of foods nor the pH potential of foods. And for flavonoids you’ll need to use the other database. If you want the sorted reports, alphabetically or highest to lowest, you will have to go back online to the site to do this, and then download the results. Free nutritional information doesn’t get better than this! The knowledge can be used to know how much of a gout vitamin each food contains and you can plan your gout diet accordingly.
