 * Moringa leaf and ulorics methods of actions are both thru the liver... I did not conduct a study I just related my own personal experience as I wished to save any other users possible additional kidney damage. I issued a proceed with caution as the information is not clearly stated anyplace I could find on the internet. I personally experienced an interaction. It's probable other people will experience an interaction too. Kidney damage and high uric acid are correlated. There is probably a correlation to additional kidney damage with a uloric and Moringa leaf interaction. I do understand that you don't want multiple citations of limited credibility. Can I site my own personal experience, as I could uncover no case studies on the issue. It's very probable it will have a significant interaction with a material portion of the population.

 * Hi, Sir Greg, and welcome to Wikipedia! Some background info: One of Wikipedia's principles is that we should never add information just from our own experience. I appreciate that you experienced this interaction and want to warn others of it, and even that you expect a material portion of the population to get it too. But personal assessments just don't meet our standards of quality: even experienced doctors who have seen some effect in dozens of patients are frequently wrong. This is why we try to use only large studies as sources, and if at all possible, we use meta-analyses.
 * I can assure you that I, as a pharmacist, am sometimes tempted to add information from my professional experience that I'm really sure is correct; but if I cannot find a good study, I refrain from it, because I know how easily I could be wrong even if I'm certain. Hope that helps. Cheers, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 07:43, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
