Purine and sugar, by the numbers
| Serving | 1 bottle (375 mL) |
|---|---|
| Purine per serving | about 25 mg, at most 64 mg (16% of the 400 mg daily guide) |
| Purine per 100 g | at most 17 mg |
| Purine before GoutSafe's weighting | at most 66 mg per serving |
| Main purine source | dried yeast |
| Fructose per serving | 20.1 g |
| Added sugar per serving | 40.1 g |
| Total sugar per serving | 40.1 g |
Where the purine comes from
| Ingredient | Matched GoutSafe food | Purine in that food, per 100 g | Share of the product | Purine at that share, per serving | Counted in the worst case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| yeast | dried yeast (D) | 847 mg | up to 2% | 64 mg | 64 mg |
| ginger root | ginger root (A) | 2 mg | up to 33% | 3 mg | under 1 mg |
Purine values come from each matched food's page on GoutSafe. Shares come from label order: US labels list ingredients by weight, so the second ingredient is at most half the product, and anything after "2% or less" is at most 2%. The worst case fills the most purine-dense ingredients to their full share first, until the shares reach the whole product, then applies GoutSafe's weighting by source, which counts plant purines at 0.3, dairy at 0 and organ meat at 1.3 because they raise uric acid by different amounts. The grade uses that worst case. How we rate.
Why it's rated D
- About 20.1 g of fructose per serving in a drink. GoutSafe grades drinks at 5 g or more as Moderate (C) and 12 g or more as Limit (D). Source on GoutSafe.
- About 25 mg of purine per serving, and at most 64 mg (16% of the 400 mg daily guide), mostly from yeast (dried). Source on GoutSafe.
- The Nutrition Facts panel lists 40.1 g of added sugar per serving, about half of it fructose. Source on GoutSafe.
Estimated from the ingredient label. Labels list ingredients by weight but rarely give amounts, so we grade on the most purine the label allows, which can read stricter than the real recipe and never safer. Sugar comes from the Nutrition Facts panel. How we rate.
