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.
