 The most effective supplement with low toxicity I’m aware of for
 gout is Vit B-5 (pantothenic acid).  1-2,000mg for a few days is
 usually all that’s required (check with your practitioner).  Low
 zinc, potassium, calcium or magnesium may also contribute to gout.
 It’s important to avoid purine/acid-forming foods and stay away
 from supplements such as lecithin.
 Most drug stores give out pamphlets with dietary recommendations
 for specific medical problems; you should get the one for gout.
