1. Uric acid produced as a waste product during the normal breakdown of nucleic acids (purines) and certain naturally occurring substances found in foods such as mushrooms. Mackerel, dried beans. etc.
2. This uric acid is generally excreted out along with urine.
3. If uric acid is produced in excess or not excreted, it accumulates in joints causing gouty arthritis.
