Hello, Diabetes ran on my mothers side of the family although neither my mother or father had diabetes. My lipid profile is slightly high and was advised by my doctor to just watch what I ate. I am not on any medicine for that. Thank you

About the supplement effect in gout:

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back!
Most of the ingredients contained in this supplement help to prevent gout. Green tea, horsetail, dindolylmethane have good effects in preventing it.
Methionine is the only one that decreases the excretion of ac. uric, tending to increase it in blood. But it's effect will be neutralised by the good effect of the other ingredients.
So i would suggest to use it.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
