    Effect of omega-three supplementation on serum urate and gout flares in people with gout; a pilot randomized trial

    Stamp LK, Grainger R, Frampton C, Drake J

    Published in BMC Rheumatology

    Methodology

    Pilot randomized controlled trial of omega-3 supplementation versus placebo in people with gout assessing serum urate and flare frequency

    Key Findings

    Omega-3 supplementation did not significantly change serum urate but showed a trend toward fewer gout flares

    Conclusions

    Omega-3 may reduce flares through anti-inflammatory effects independent of urate lowering; larger trials warranted

    Limitations

    Pilot study with small sample and limited power

    Supplements Studied

    Omega-3 supplementation did not significantly change serum urate levels but was associated with a trend toward fewer gout flares.
