Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study will be to evaluate if a nutraceutical containing quercetin, rutin, bromelain and L-carnosine (Uricemin®) can reduce uric acid levels in subjects with values between ≥ 6 and \< 7 mg/dl after 3 months of therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study will be to evaluate if a nutraceutical containing quercetin, rutin, bromelain and L-carnosine (Uricemin®) can reduce uric acid levels in subjects with values between ≥ 6 and \< 7 mg/dl after 3 months of therapy.

Patients will be randomized to Uricemin® or placebo for three months. We will evaluate body weight, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), lipid profile, uricemia (UA), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) at baseline and after 3 months since the study start. Treatment tolerability will be assessed evaluating transaminases, and creatinine, and all adverse events will be recorded.
