Reasons to believe that Gout is associated with low vitamin D

  1. Acute gouty arthritis is seasonal. 1998
    Increased by 32% in Spring (when vitamin D levels are the lowest)
  2. Clinical Trials for Gout and Vitamin D
    Study of Vitamin D and Uric Acid Lowering on Kidney and Blood Vessel Function
    Good: 50,000 IU weekly, unfortunately: D2, not D3
  3. Vitamin D reduces Rheumatoid arthritis 115 items
  4. Vitamin D reduces Pain 159 items
  5. Vitamin D reduces Inflammation category listing with 170 items
  6. Higher incidence of gout with age (less vitamin D and gastric acid as you get older)
  7. Increased gout at higher Latitude (Gout and Goutiness a 1899 book
  8. Increased gout with soda pop
    JAMA study from 2010.2 women >2 cans of soda daily 2X more likely to develop gout (Note that soda decreases vitamin D levels)

Hypothesis by VitaminDWiki: Vitamin D and Gout

FACT: Gout increases with age
FACT: Gastric Acid/digestion decreases with age
FACT: Coffee increases gastric acid
FACT: Coffee decreases gout (known since 1672)
FACT: Vitamin D increased digestion
FACT: Vitamin D decreases Gout
CONCLUSION: Improved digestion ==> reduced gout
Hypothesis: Other ways to Increase digestion, such as HCL or digestive enzymes, will also decrease gout
Note: Vitamin D reduces gout by at least the following ways:

  1. improving digestion
  2. improving kidney function
  3. reducing pain
  4. reducing inflammation
