Find Your Real Triggers.
Stop Guessing.
If avoiding red meat hasn't stopped your flares, there's a reason. Dietary purines only account for about 30% of uric acid levels. Urica tracks the full picture and helps you find YOUR real triggers.

purine lists?
Gout is an excretion problem,
not just a diet problem
Dietary purines only account for about 30% of uric acid production. Most gout patients are "under-excreters" due to insulin resistance, dehydration, or metabolic factors.
- Vegetable purines do NOT increase flare risk
- Fructose is often an overlooked trigger
- Your personal triggers may be unique
Three factors that
actually matter
Urica tracks the complete picture - not just purines, but the metabolic factors that research shows truly influence uric acid levels.
Purines
What you expect
Track purine intake from your meals. But remember - dietary purines are only part of the story.
Fructose
The hidden factor
Fructose is an overlooked trigger that both increases uric acid production AND impairs excretion.
Glycemic Load
The metabolic connection
Insulin resistance affects kidney clearance of uric acid. Managing blood sugar helps manage gout.
Everything you need to
manage gout smarter

Understanding
the real causes
The Excretion Problem
Research shows most gout patients are "under-excreters" - their kidneys don't clear uric acid efficiently. This is often caused by insulin resistance, chronic dehydration, or metabolic syndrome. Focusing only on dietary purines misses 70% of the picture.
The Gut Connection
Up to 30% of uric acid excretion happens through the gut, not the kidneys. Gut bacteria play a role in breaking down purines. This is why factors like fiber intake, fermented foods, and gut health matter for gout management.
The Fructose Factor
Fructose is unique - it's the only sugar that increases uric acid production AND impairs excretion. Sugary drinks with high-fructose corn syrup are strongly linked to gout risk, often more than red meat.
