CHANCA PIEDRA is a varietal shrub that is found in the tropical and subtropical rain forests of the Peruvian Amazon. In Peruvian Spanish and indigenous herbal medical systems, CHANCA PIEDRA means both stone breaker and to shatter stones. CHANCA PIEDRA is used traditionally to help break up all types of kidney, bladder and gall stones and may help limit pain and inflammation related to the presence of stones, crystals and calculi in the bladder, kidneys, gall bladder and liver.
CHANCA PIEDRA is used traditionally and holistically to help support healthy kidney function and as an adjunctive to reduce inflammation in the bladder and kidneys related to urinary tract infections and inflammation; to help break up kidney, liver, gallbladder & bladder stones, gravel, crystals & calculi, providing a possible preventative layer of support against all types of urinary infections and stone formation in the kidneys, ureters and bladder, due to its natural plant chemical content including antioxidants, lignans, glycosides, flavonoids, linolic acid, alkaloids, ellagitannins, phenylpropanoids, lipids, sterols, and flavonols which have a potential role in inhibiting pathogen adherence to enothileal cells in the urinary bladder.
CHANCA PIEDRA contains healthy, natural plant chemicals that are strongly antilithic (stone breaking), antiviral, antibacterial, antispasmodic & analgesic (pain relieving).
Instructions for use:
Administer the treatment for 4 weeks and then terminate use for 5-7 days if your pet's diet does not include a pet friendly Probiotic. Do NOT discontinue if your pet has a large stone, an unpassable stone or is at risk or urethral blockage. It is strongly suggested that you include a pet friendly probiotic.
Your pet may drink more water and require more frequent bathroom breaks while using CHANCA PIEDRA. This is normal and a healthy response to the natural detoxification process.
You should not see physical stones in your pet's stools or urine. CHANCA PIEDRA, in its literal translation means stone crusher and stone breaker, and passed stones and crystals should not be visible.
