Brief Summary
Hyperuricemia is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases. Recently, dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Hyperuricemia. Animal studies have demonstrated that administration of prebiotics help delay the progression of Hyperuricemia through several mechanisms. This trial aims to examine its protective effect in humans.

Dietary Supplement: Sunflower peptide
EXPERIMENTALSubjects are instructed to take one capsule of Sunflower peptide daily for a total of 3 months
Dietary Supplement: Placebo control
PLACEBO COMPARATORSubjects are instructed to take one capsule of placebo daily for a total of 3 months
Interventions
During the study period, subjects are instructed to take one capsule of anserine daily for a total of 3 months. Aside from the prebiotic supplement, all participants are instructed to continue their normal routine and not make any changes to their exercise habits but reduce purine intake.
