Kidney Stone Suggestions

The easiest way to prevent kidney stones is to drink lots of water—two to three quarts a day.

 Kidney stones are hard masses of minerals that begin as tiny crystals and grow over time. Although most stones are small enough to pass through the urinary tract undetected, larger ones may become lodged in the ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys and the bladder), blocking urinary flow and causing extreme pain. Dehydration contributes to stone formation by increasing the concentration of the waste products in the urine that contribute to kidney stone formation. Do not underestimate the power of this simple therapy. Eight to 12 glasses of water may seem like a lot, but it provides potent protection.

The synergistic natural ingredients in RENAVIVE® are very unique. Their action is to work on the surface of the kidney stone to dissolve it into smaller and smaller particles and then help support the kidney’s own elimination functions to safely eliminate micro particles through the urine.

 RENAVIVE® is specifically formulated to help with ALL types of kidney stones NO MATTER THE LOCATION, including the 4 main types - while thoroughly cleansing the kidneys.

 Calcium Oxalate Most common, stones formed due to excess calcium & oxalates in the urine

Uric acid Stones formed due to excess acid in the urine, usually caused by eating too much meat

Struvite Stones formed after urinary infections and typically consist of magnesium and ammonia 

Cystine Rare and genetic, stones formed by buildup of cystine in urine

 


Harvard researchers found that taking 180 mg of magnesium along with 10 mg of vitamin B6 daily reduced stone formation by 92.3 percent per year! Another study showed about a 90 percent reduction with magnesium alone (500 mg daily).

Natural calcium for your bones

Foods that naturally contain calcium also supply other minerals which direct the calcium into bone rather than soft tissues like arteries, kidneys and eyes. A food source of calcium from an ocean algae is a safer choice than rock calcium because it is a natural balance of nutrients. Food calcium is also safer because it is effective at a lower dose. Less calcium means less arterial plaque. With AlgaeCal you can do more with less...and that is safer. Products like AlgaeCal Plus, Source of Life Garden Calcium, and Garden of Life Vitamin Code Grow Bones contain this type of natural calcium.


The calcium complex in Bone Strength Take Care is derived from a specific plant form called Lithothamnion Calcareum, sustainably harvested from pristine shores along the Icelandic coastline. Much like organic vegetables, this sea plant is allowed to mature naturally and then sustainably harvested to deliver its optimal nutritional value.

Either way, natural calcium seems to be a less constipating option, and can be considered as an option for patients with a history of kidney stones.
