    Hi,

    I am just starting to know 1st VitaPlus. i had bought 1 box and asked my friend who is sufferring from lopus if she has heard 1st vitaplus. Accdg. to her, she drunk vitaplus for 6 months but discontinued due to increase of her uric acid. Why is this so?
    Thanks.

    Hello Julie,

    I am not really sure bakit nagkanon ang friend mo kasi hindi naman natin sya nasubaybayan since the time nag take sya ng vita plus. What i would say is, just try the product yourself according to what is normally taken, 1 sachet a day will do unless u have to drink more for something that you need to cure. If ever u can take 1 sachet in 500ml of water. Although i havent heard of any complains from first vita plus users although there are healing reactions in a few days of taking it..

    Uric acid are accumulated when there is too much intake of Foods considered moderately high in purines but which may not raise the risk of gout include: asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, peas, spinach, whole grain breads and cereals, chicken, duck, ham, turkey, kidney and lima beans. It is important to remember that purines are found in all protein foods.

    that causes the Uric acid problem of your friend. not the vitaplus. though how many times in a day he drinks first vitaplus and yet still eats too much in excess of those foods stated above. still no hope for her. its a matter of LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
