Compare: Kidney C.O.P.® vs Chanca Piedra Stone Breaker

Chanca Piedra is also commonly known as “Stone Breaker”

During recent testing:

    • Kidney C.O.P.® was shown to inhibit calcium oxalate crystal growth by 99%
    • Chanca Piedra 5:1 Extract only inhibited growth by 16% to 20%
    • The testing clearly shows that Kidney C.O.P.® is more than FIVE TIMES stronger than Chanca Piedra!2,5
    • In addition, health care experts DO NOT recommend taking Chanca Piedra for more than 3 months

The Choice is Clear…
Get Kidney C.O.P.® to help reduce the formation and growth of Calcium Oxalate Crystals*

Summary of Test Results Below

– Chanca Piedra extract (or chanca piedra supplements) are also known as Stone Breaker, Stone Crusher or Phyllanthus Niruri

– Kidney C.O.P.’s® formulation of active ingredients has been shown to be five times stronger at inhibiting the rate of calcium oxalate crystal growth when compared to Chanca Piedra Extract 5:1 Ratio (commonly known as Phyllanthus Niruri, Stone Breaker or Stone Crusher).2,3,5

– Unlike Chanca Piedra, which many experts recommend not to be taken for more than three months, Kidney C.O.P.® contains ingredients that allow the product to be taken every day so people can go about enjoying their lives year after year.3,4,6

– Kidney COP has run hundreds of in vitro tests ultimately optimizing the formula to inhibit the rate of calcium oxalate crystal growth by 99%. We have not seen any actual Chanca Piedra products in the market that actually run tests to determine their formula’s rate of inhibiting calcium oxalate crystal growth (to determine chanca piedra effectiveness).2

– Kidney COP formulation is run through Zone IV stability testing to ensure potency even under the harshest environmental conditions. Many other supplement products are not run through Zone IV stability testing.

– Kidney COP actually lists the milligram amount of each active ingredient contained in each serving size. Chanca Piedra products often do not list the milligram amount of each active ingredient or of the actual Chanca Piedra stone breaker active ingredient contained in each serving size. Consumers of Chanca Piedra product often do not know exactly the amount of each active ingredient they are consuming and nor do they know if the amount is consistent with each serving size.

– Three of Kidney C.O.P.’s five active ingredients are GRAS, the fourth is listed within National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements Fact Sheet Magnesium along with recommended Daily Values and the fifth is ground Musa Paradisiaca (banana stems) a natural food consumed throughout the world. Government Documentation that is a GRAS Ingredient can be found in CFR Government Federal Code of Regulations Title 21 – Citric Acid | 21 CFR 184.1033 – Inositol (IP6) (Phytin) Phytic Acid | 21 CFR 184.1370 – Pyridoxine Hydrochloride | 21 CFR 184.1676
