Probiotics and Gout

Probiotic strain Ligi lactobacillus salivarius or L salivarius was studied in gout because it's known to assist in the metabolism of purines. Probiotic patients had less gout attacks, five out of 15 patients, then did the controls on allopurinol, 13 out of 15 attacks. Also the probiotic group had less attacks than they did before they got the probiotic.
