General Description

Chanca Piedra –Stone Breaker is an extract produced from the leaves and stems of the Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) plant that is found in South America.  Chanca Piedra has been used for generations by the indigenous population of South America in eliminating gallstones and kidney stones, reducing pain and spasms associated with these stones and treating malaria, colds, flu and certain other infections. Anecdotal reports in humans suggest Chanca Piedra also has anti-Babesia and anti-OCD properties.

Patient Reports

"My daughter was turning 37 and wound up in the hospital on her birthday with a kidney stone.  The ER doctor told her that it was small so she'd have to pass it.  She was in so much pain.  She was so upset that she went home and started researching passing stones on the internet.  Chanca Piedra had just been released on the NutraMedix website so she placed her order and it arrived the next day.  She started feeling better IMMEDIATELY and was totally out of pain within 3 hours."-T.M.
