Joint Pain From Uric Acid

Explanation

Joint pain from uric acid is due to an accumulation of the by-products of protein metabolism in the joint. It is associated with diet, kidney function, and other metabolic activities. (source)

Impact

Movement relies on joint fluidity and muscle contraction, and pain-induced joint immobility can significantly hinder this process, leading to decreased performance. Supporting joint health is essential for maintaining optimal mobility. This allows for smooth, technically sound movement execution.

Optimization

Supplement with Curcumin: Curcumin inhibits cellular pathways that promote uric acid formation, and it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that aid in reducing uric acid levels. (source, source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 1 g curcumin daily.

Supplement with Vitamin C: Vitamin C increases the clearance of uric acid from the kidneys, which leads to the excretion of uric acid through urine. This process reduces concentrations of uric acid in the blood. (source, source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 100 mg of vitamin C daily.
