Quercetin and Bromelain are useful gout supplements

QUERCETIN - an anti inflammatory and a possible xanthine oxidase inhibitor

But it is better researched as a good anti inflammatory. It is a five star dietary supplement, especially valued as an anti histamine. A good quality capsule of it will include a smaller amount of bromelain since bromelain aids its absorption.

In foods The biggest sources are: onions (said to be the richest source; red have lightly more than white and spring onions a little less than either red or white), apples (it’s in the skin not the flesh), watercress, pink grapefruit, green leafy vegetables and elderberries.

In beverages Beverages containing it are tea (black tea), green tea, red wine and elderberry juice.

Dosage An average dosage is 250mg one to four times daily.

BROMELAIN - anti inflammatory

Bromelain for gout. Any vitamin which acts as an anti inflammatory can aid a natural remedy for gout. Bromelain is a well researched anti inflammatory. It can be taken as a dietary supplement – it’s often added to preparations of glucosamine, a top anti arthritic dietary supplement and to quercetin supplements.

In foods Bromelain is hard to find in foods. A food high in it is pineapple, but the problem is that most of its bromelain is in the stem, not the fruit. So, neither the fruit nor fresh pineapple juice will give you much. The best source by far is a dietary supplement.

Tips for taking bromelain Buy a supplement which states the amount of GDU enzyme activity on the product label rather than a brand that doesn't. The higher the better. Another tip - take it on an empty stomach. When the stomach is full, or somewhat full, bromelain will also act as a digestive enzyme, but you want the biggest anti-inflammatory effect you can get.

Dosage 400-500mg daily, during attacks, perhaps more if your doctor or health care professional agrees.
