Does chondroitin and glucosamine help gout?

Most studies suggest taking glucosamine will not effect gout, good or bad. The same goes with taking chondroitin. Bromelain and red cover seem to help with gout really well.

There is no clinical evidence that Glucosamine Chondroitin (GC) helps prevent or treat gout. Gout is caused by uric acid deposits in the joints. GC alleviates the symptoms of osteoarthritis.

No. Gout is the result of uric acids building up in the bloodstream. The condition is directly linked to the consumption of alcoholic beverages, especially beer.

No they do not, and may infact make it worse. Chrondroitin and glucosamine supplements are a peptide based primarily, they also contain impurities like DNA etc. Gout is caused by a failure of the body to excete uric acid, which is a break down of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. Limit your uric acid high foods.
