Hello
Your findings suggests mildly increased uric acid. Initially it should be tried to control by diet and life style changes.You should avoid high purine diet like red meat etc.It is better to avoid chicken also.
Avoid alcohol if you take it.
If uric acid is persistently increased then you may need uricosuric drugs like allopurinol.
Effectiveness of Amway Bio-C product is not medically proved,so I think it is better to avoid it.
Get well soon.
Take Care
