Stonebreaker is now available as a 20x extract. This means you can use less for the same great results and get much more value out of each pack.
Historically, this herb has been used by traditional Ayurvedic practitioners to address liver and gallbladder problems, including gall stones. It is known to lower blood pressure and stabilise blood sugar levels. Modern trials have indicated that Stonebreaker, also known as Chanca Piedra, may reduce levels of urinary calcium and kidney stone formation.
