Dairy's Protective Effect on Uric Acid
Dairy is the one food group with evidence of a protective effect on gout, not just a neutral one. Low-fat milk and yogurt have been associated with lower uric acid and a lower risk of gout in prospective studies, likely because dairy proteins promote uric acid excretion. Eggs are a separate case: nearly purine-free and a reliable protein source, but without the same protective signal. For gout, low-fat dairy is a genuinely useful addition, and eggs are a safe protein fallback.

How many purines are in Scales And Collagen?
Scales And Collagen contains about 2.9 mg of purines per 100g. This means it very low in purines (2.9 mg/100g). As a benchmark, purine levels above 150 mg/100g are classed as high-risk for gout, whereas values below 50 mg are typically viewed as safe.
