NO: Multivitamins should not raise your uric at all & some of the antioxidant vitamins (A,C,E,B's,selenium) may actually help control uric acid levels. To a large extent uric acid is genetically controlled & you can not change that. Eggs are generally OK, but you want to try to keep the intake below about 7 a week and chicken is generally healthy but can raise uric acid, and dark meat (thighs) more.
