CitraLith .. Stopping Kidney Stones with Magnesium Citrate
Made in the USA, CitraLith™ is our newest and most popular product supporting of kidney stone prevention and treatment. This gluten free, dye-free, GMP-certified vitamin and mineral supplement is delivered in individual powder packets intended to be stirred into a glass of water twice daily.
CitraLith™ is a natural nonprescription lower-cost alternative to pharmaceuticals commonly prescribed by urologists for the prevention and treatment of kidney stones. It is a particularly important supplement for kidney stone formers having low urinary magnesium levels, low urinary citrate levels, elevated urinary calcium levels, and acidic urine pH. The ingredients in CitraLith™ work to help reduce the risk of uric acid crystal formation, a process that may serve as a root cause for the formation of many kidney stones.
The vitamins and minerals contained in CitraLith™ have been proven to reduce calcium oxalate kidney stones, as well as, calcium phosphate kidney stones in clinical research studies. In addition, CitraLith™ is currently being used by urologists at a major US academic center as part of a soon-to-be-published clinical research study.
Kidney stone researchers indicate that high dietary magnesium intake is directly linked to high urinary magnesium levels. The research suggests that urinary magnesium inhibits kidney stone crystallization and magnesium intake also reduces urinary oxalate levels thus reducing stone formation in those patients having the most common form of kidney stones -- calcium oxalate. Thus, CitraLith™ offers stone formers the advantage of a preparation which:
-
dissolves in water (a recommendation for all kidney stone formers),
-
provides magnesium (which reduces urine oxalate and inhibits stone crystallization),
-
provides vitamin B6 / pyridoxine (reducing urinary oxalate),
-
provides citrate (resulting in decreased urinary acidity).
It can be challenging to find the right supplement with all these ingredients contained in the same formulation, all in one place, and all for a price lower than similar prescription preparations. CitraLith™ makes it easy!
