I am taking the herbalife formula 1 shake for more than a month now.I had my labtest for my uric acid and it seems that the result is elevated.I have been taking medicine for gout since i have gout arthritis for one month and Im already done taking it? I am expecting that the lab result will be normal since I lost also 10 lbs because of Formula 1 shake substitute of my two meals.Do you think the high result caused by the formula shake since I am careful of eating food with high in uric.My uric acid result is 581 umol/L
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have gouty arthritis.  You should avoid protein rich food and herbal formula. Protein is metabolized in uric acid. You should take Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
