Litrix

Dietary supplement

Food supplement based on Phillantus niruri and Citrates

The filanto called “stone-breaking grass” can interfere with some important stages of the crystal formation process, such as aggregation and can influence their structure and composition. The possible action on the growth of the crystals and the property of smoothing the surface of the stone, consequently facilitates their elimination. Therefore, in addition to its litholytic activity, it also exerts an antispasmodic, decongestant, antibacterial and diuretic action. It favors the peristalsis of the urinary excretory route, favoring the progression of the calculus.

The potassium and magnesium citrate can be useful for increasing the urinary ph so as to make the urine more alkaline. This increase reduces the precipitation of uric acid crystals making them soluble in urine. Furthermore, citrate has a direct inhibiting action on spontaneous nucleation and growth of CaOx and CaP crystals. The alkaline citrate, by increasing the urinary ph, decreases the formation of calcium oxalate crystals.
