Purines are broken down into uric acid in the body. Reducing dietary purine intake lowers uric acid production and reduces the frequency of gout attacks.
Diet alone is rarely sufficient to normalise uric acid levels but meaningfully reduces attack frequency. Most people also require medication for full control.
