I've been told that if I take a vitamin D supplement it will help prevent gout. Is this true?

Yes, taking a daily vitamin D supplement can help reduce your risk of developing gout. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium and helps regulate the body's immune system. A deficiency in vitamin D has been linked to an increased risk of gout. Taking a daily supplement may help lower your risk of developing gout by providing you with enough vitamin D.
