40 Vegan Capsules 800mg
 
Ingredients: Phyllanthus Nuiri 100%
 
Chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) is a powerful medicinal herb from the Amazon rainforest. It has been used to treat kidney stones for generations in the Amazon and in traditional herbal medicine systems in South America.
 
Chanca Piedra translates to stone breaker in spanish. This is natural wild herb is used for clearing obstrcutions in the liver, gallbladder and kidneys. Breaking down stones is the main action, but it has many other great benefits, like helping remove parsites and bacteria, lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation, detoxifying the liver, and aiding digestion.
 
Contraindications: This plant has been documented with uterine stimulant and uterine antispasmodic actions in animal studies and is contraindicated in pregnancy. Drug Interactions: May potentiate diuretic drugs.
 
Other Practitioner Observations and Possible Precautions: Chanca piedra has been documented to reduce blood pressure in animal studies. Individuals with low blood pressure should be monitored for this effect. Chanca piedra has been documented with female antifertility effects in one mouse study (the effect was reversed 45 days after cessation of dosing). While this effect has not been documented in humans, the use of the plant is probably contraindicated in women seeking pregnancy or taking fertility drugs.
 
This plant has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity in animalIn over 20 laboratory tests in animals and in humans, chanca piedra has shown significant antiviral effects against Hepatitis B (HBV). Not only has it been reported to provide a direct antiviral effect, it has also been reported to clear the surface antigen from chronic carriers. A Chinese research group published a study in 2001 which compared 30 chronic HBV patients taking a chanca piedra extract to 25 patients taking interferon for three months. Both treatments showed an equal effectiveness of 83%, but the chanca piedra group rated significantly higher in the normalization of liver enzymes and recovery of liver function than the interferon-treated group. They published yet another study in 2003 which attributed the anti-HVB effects mainly to four chemicals in chanca piedra: niranthin, nirtetralin, hinokinin, and geraniin. The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Research Group in Copenhagen reviewed all the HBV published research (22 randomized trials) and published an independent review of the results. It stated that chanca piedra had "a positive effect on clearance of serum HBsAg (HBV surface antigen) comparable to interferon and was better than nonspecific treatment or other herbal medicines for HBV and liver enzyme normalization.” A Japanese research group reported that a simple water extract of chanca piedra inhibited HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in 1992. They attributed this effect to a plant chemical in chanca piedra called repandusinic acid A. When they tested this chemical individually it demonstrated significant toxicity to HIV-1 at very small dosages (a 90% in vitro inhibition using only 2.5 mcg). Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute isolated yet another chemical in chanca piedra with anti-HIV actions—a novel compound that they named niruriside and described in a 1996 study. A German research organization published their first study on chanca piedra and its application with HIV therapy (reporting a 70-75% inhibition of viral replication) in 2003. In addition to these antiviral properties, the plant has also been documented other antimicrobial effects. In several laboratory studies chanca piedra demonstrated antibacterial actions against Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, and Pasteurella bacteria as well as in vivo and in vitro anti-malarial properties. Research published in 2006 by researchers in India reported chanca piedra showed significant concentration dependent antibacterial activity particularly against Gram-negative bacteria.
