When you’re dealing with kidney stones or trying to avoid them it’s natural to seek out non-surgical, supplement-based solutions. But not all kidney stones dissolvers are created equal. The best ones go beyond marketing claims and deliver ingredients with proven benefits in reducing calcium oxalate crystal growth.
Here are the top 5 ingredients in the Kidney C.O.P. patented formula that has shown in laboratory tests to inhibit the growth rate of calcium oxalate crystals by 99%. Kidney C.O.P. is a science back choice.
1. Phytin (Phytic Acid)
Phytin is a plant-based compound found in seeds and legumes. Phytin also known as Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) and phytic acid- inhibits the crystallization of calcium salts in urine. It does this by binding to calcium, which reduces the amount of free calcium available to form crystals, and by directly interfering with the growth of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystals.
2. Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate increases the solubility of calcium and other minerals in the urine, making them less likely to crystallize and form stones. Magnesium also binds to oxalate in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing its absorption and reducing the amount that ends up in the urine to form calcium oxalate stones. Binds oxalate in the digestive tract to reduce absorption Magnesium can chelate with citrate, which may lead to higher levels of citrate in the urine. Citrate itself plays a crucial role in kidney stone prevention by:
1. Binding with calcium to form a soluble complex, reducing the free calcium available to bind with oxalate.
2, Inhibiting the growth and aggregation of calcium crystals.
3. Increasing the activity of urinary macromolecules that inhibit calcium oxalate aggregation. Adding potassium form the banana stem, potassium-magnesium citrate can help promote urine alkalization, which can be crucial in inhibiting the formation of certain types of kidney stones
3. Banana Stem
Provides diuretic properties that can assist in the flushing of the kidneys and the dissolution of calcium oxalate.

4. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B6 acts as a coenzyme for the alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase enzyme, which converts glyoxylate to glycine, thus diverting it from the pathway that leads to oxalate production.
5. Citric Acid
Citrate binds to calcium in the urine, making it less available to combine with other substances like oxalate or phosphate to form stones. This binding reduces the saturation of stone-forming salts in the urine. Citrate also directly inhibits the growth and agglomeration (clumping) of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate crystals, which are the most common components of kidney stones. Citrate can coat existing small stones, preventing additional minerals and salts from attaching and causing them to grow into larger, more problematic stones. Can help balance PH in the kidney
Final Takeaway
When choosing a kidney stone supplement, look for ingredients that target the real cause of stone formation: the interaction of calcium and oxalate in your urine.
The top 5 ingredients – phytin, magnesium, banana stem, vitamin B6, and citric acid each play a powerful role in reducing crystal growth and supporting long-term kidney health.
