Alfalfa “pills” are available cheapest at WalMart and work very well for prevention of gout. It has changed my life after first getting gout 10 years ago in my mid 20's. You need to experiment with the daily dose to find out what works for you. It all depends how much beer and shellfish I consume.
Good to know, however I assume you are referring to preventing gout flare-ups and pain rather than preventing hyperuricemia? In other words, are you also taking any medication for Gout and have you had your blood uric acid levels tested?
The important thing to keep in mind is that its not only preventing being in pain that is the goal. Just like insulin with diabetics, you can't just ignore the condition because the symptoms are not consant. Once your uric acid levels are around 5 mg, then you can focus on making sure you do not have any painful flareups. 🙂
Good luck and keep us posted!
