Probiotics have demonstrated the potential to ameliorate hyperuricemia in animals, but their effectiveness and mechanism of action in humans has been understudied. A randomized, double-blinded, controlled research was conducted with 120 volunteers, who consume either a probiotic yogurt containing a UA-degrading strain Limosilactobacillus fermentum GR-3 or a conventional yogurt for 2 months, to investigate probiotic yogurt helped decrease uric acid levels in the at-risk human population. Serum UA levels showed that the probiotic yogurt caused a significant decrease than the consumption of conventional yogurt (26.2% ± 2.3% vs. 8.6% ± 1.1%), and contributed to the UA excretion in the feces and urine (7.4% ± 2.1% and 13.8% ± 3.4%, respectively, 1.9% ± 1.1% and 5.1% ± 2.2%, respectively). Metabolomics and microbial community analysis showed a positive correlation with enhanced anti-inflammation of the host. Our findings suggest an effective and economical therapeutic adjuvant in treating hyperuricemia.
