Uric Acid
Included in Essential Labs
Why we test it
Uric acid is a waste product from food breakdown and cell recycling. At normal levels it acts as an antioxidant, but excess triggers inflammation and vascular damage that can impair cognition.
BetterBrain target
3.0-5.5 mg/dL
Uric acid has a dual role — antioxidant at optimal levels, pro-inflammatory when elevated. Our target is tighter than standard ranges.
