According to a study published in the
Italian journal Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, 

00:00:10.027 --> 00:00:13.927 
Consuming animal protein can cause blood
uric acid levels to be higher than normal. 

00:00:14.427 --> 00:00:17.982 
Specifically, animal-based protein
powders such as whey protein, casein 

00:00:17.982 --> 00:00:22.327 
protein, and collagen protein are
proteins that are high in purines. 

00:00:22.807 --> 00:00:26.252 
So when you consume these proteins, they
can contribute to increasing uric 

00:00:26.252 --> 00:00:27.687 
acid levels in your body. 

00:00:28.187 --> 00:00:32.087 
Plant-based protein powders like pea,
hemp, and rice are generally lower in 

00:00:32.087 --> 00:00:33.387 
purines than animal proteins. 

00:00:33.387 --> 00:00:36.845 
Therefore, they are less likely to
increase uric acid levels and these are 

00:00:36.845 --> 00:00:38.707 
the protein powders you should be using. 

00:00:39.107 --> 00:00:42.585 
According to Abolawang, people with gout
do not necessarily need to avoid protein 

00:00:42.585 --> 00:00:45.527 
powders completely, but they should be
cautious when using protein powders. 

00:00:46.067 --> 00:00:50.155 
At the same time, before adding protein
powder to their diet, people with gout 

00:00:50.155 --> 00:00:53.367 
should consult a doctor or nutritionist
for advice appropriate to their 

00:00:53.367 --> 00:00:54.827 
health condition and dietary needs.
