If you're managing gout, you've probably realized that not all foods affect it equally—and figuring out which ones are safe requires more than guesswork. Our purine calculator app takes the guesswork out of gout management by instantly showing you the purine content in any food. Whether you're building a meal, evaluating restaurant options, or planning your week, use our purine limit app to track your total daily intake against evidence-based guidelines.
Purine is a natural compound found in many foods, especially meat, seafood, and some vegetables. Your body breaks down purines into uric acid. High levels of uric acid can trigger gout attacks.
300mg per day is a widely recommended limit for people managing gout. This helps keep uric acid levels under control and reduces the frequency of flare-ups.
This calculator uses average purine values from medical databases. Actual purine content may vary based on food preparation, freshness, and cooking methods. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
While occasional increases won't cause immediate problems, consistently staying below 300mg provides better gout management. Some people find they can tolerate slightly higher amounts without triggering flare-ups.
