Hi, Nucoxia is for pain relief [redness and swelling] for muscle spasms, not to decrease uric acid level. eat more beans, peas, lentils, black bean, fruits, vegetables and cherries. Vitamin C is good. Olive oil can be used, green beans, low fat yoghurt too. He should be well hydrated, weight loss if obese is proved to be good. Join Art of Living OMBW course, it can lower uric acid levels within days. One research shows if combined with proper medicine and follow course guidelines, one will be able to cure fully. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
