Protein metabolism disorder can cause some diseases. Herbal content in NUTRILITE can help avoiding it.

Question:

As informed, Nutrilite is made of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and herbals. For people having uric acid problem at the level of 5.7 or more, is it still allowed to consume Nutrilite Double X, Daily, Natural B Complex, Iron Folic, Natural Multi Carotene, Lecithin E, and Bilberry With Lutein?

Answer:

Uric acid is a disorder that is grouped as protein metabolism disorder. This anomaly is caused by the formation of excessive uric acid or the the decreasing of uric acid excretion. Uric acid is stimulated by high content of purine in our food. Purine is mostly found in foods with high protein content. Vegetables, nuts or herbals is one of the source of protein food. But it must be noticed that what is contained in Double X is phytonutrients, which is the extract of nutritions in plants. Or we can say that what is used is the nutrition active content in plants; not all part of the plant. For example, it will be different if we consume the whole spinach comparing with consuming the extract of the spinach. If we eat the whole spinach then the protein (including the purine) in it will also be consumed; but if we consume the extract it means we eat only some content (which is the phytonutrients, vitamins, and the antioxidants).

So by eating the extract (which is contained in Double X, Daily, Natural B Complex, Iron Folic, or other Nutrilite supplements) it will not affect badly for protein metabolism.
