Uric acid — optimal range for vegans & vegetarians

A purine-metabolism product; excess causes gout.

Optimal range

≤ 6.5 mg/dL

How a value is read

Optimal≤ 6.5 mg/dL
Above optimal6.5 – 8 mg/dL
Markedly high> 8 mg/dL

Bands are given in the marker's canonical unit; values in other units are converted automatically.

Why it matters on a plant-based diet

Usually LOWER in vegans (few purines from meat/fish). If high, suspect fructose, alcohol or genetics; gout risk.

A single marker decides nothing

Deficiencies mask one another: high folate hides low B12, inflammation inflates ferritin, low zinc mimics iron deficiency. VEGALYSIS reads the whole picture and explains the links.
