Have you ever heard of vitamins triggering an attack? It seems as soon as I begin taking multivitamins again I get problems.

Hi there Canadian Jeff,

I have been reading a lot more about this problem lately although I have not actually experienced it myself. It seems that one of the minerals that are in common multi-vits is causing this to happen. I think it may be iron.

My theory on this is that iron is in most high purine foods such as red meat and taking it in supplement form is causing gout to flare up.

I'll do more research on this theory and get back to you when I fully understand it.

Just to clarify… Vitamin C can give you amazing results in your quest to get rid of gout. Taking in excess of 1,500mg of vitamin C daily can help to prevent or cure gout by up to 45% compaired to taking only 250mg .

This is based on a study conducted in 2009 in America

Hope this helps,

Fergal 🙂
