Gout affects over one million Britons, yet many sufferers remain unaware of their elevated uric acid levels until excruciating attacks strike. At Clubwell, we believe prevention is always better than cure, which is why we stock these professional-grade uric acid test strips that deliver laboratory accuracy in your own home.
Working seamlessly with the HRM Monitor, these strips utilise the same biosensor technology trusted by healthcare professionals worldwide. Each test delivers precise readings within sixty seconds, eliminating the need for expensive laboratory visits or lengthy waiting periods. This immediacy allows you to make informed decisions about your diet, lifestyle, and health management in real time.
In the UK, healthcare professionals consider uric acid levels of 360 micromoles per litre (µmol/L) or higher as a significant warning sign, often confirming a clinical diagnosis of gout. Treatment typically aims to reduce levels to 360 µmol/L or below, with some practitioners targeting even lower levels of 300 µmol/L initially to help dissolve existing uric acid crystals that have already formed in the joints.
However, elevated uric acid extends far beyond gout concerns. Research increasingly shows that raised urate levels serve as an early warning system for metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and excess abdominal weight. Additionally, elevated uric acid is strongly associated with reduced blood sugar tolerance, often preceding the development of type 2 diabetes by several years.
The strips prove invaluable for tracking how different foods affect your levels. That glass of beer, portion of shellfish, or serving of organ meat can now be measured by its actual impact rather than guesswork. Many users discover surprising triggers they never suspected, empowering them to make targeted dietary modifications.
The twenty-five strip pack provides excellent value whilst ensuring you maintain regular monitoring habits without interruption.
Your joints deserve proactive protection, not reactive treatment. These test strips transform uric acid monitoring from a clinical procedure into a simple home routine, putting the power of prevention directly into your hands where it belongs.
