This high quality product is a highly concentrated
extract of chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri). Its Peruvian name,
chanca piedra, means "stone breaker" throughout South America and the
Amazon.* Raintree's chanca piedra concentrated extract uses new and
proprietary extraction methods to concentrate and preserve the active
ingredients found in this rainforest plant. Concentration methods provide
the equivalent of 500 milligrams of herb per milliliter of extract. Made
with vegetable glycerine and purified water, it contains no alcohol. Chanca
piedra was also
featured in this HSI article.
Traditional Uses:* for kidney stones and gallstones (active stones and as a
preventative); to tone, balance, strengthen, detoxify and protect the
kidneys and to reduce uric acid and increase urination; to tone, balance,
strengthen, detoxify, and protect the liver (and to balance liver enzymes)
