Nutrition and Supplements for the Future
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), nutrition is the one factor a patient has control over to prevent a kidney stone recurrence. While alternative medicine is not considered appropriate for the treatment of kidney stones, using nutritional supplements can help to prevent a recurrence. Some tips UMMC suggests include using homeopathic treatments, herbs and nutritional supplements. It is highly important to tell your health care provider about and vitamins, nutritional supplements or herbs you may be taking. Suggested are:
Daily multivitamins with antioxidants
- Magnesium citrate for symptoms of kidney stones.
- Omega-3 fatty acids to help decrease inflammation and promote general health.
- Probiotic supplement for gastrointestinal heath
Remember to notify you MD about any supplements you may be taking. ALSO:
Cranberry for kidney health.
Green tea for antioxidant and immune effects.
Milk thistle for detoxification support
Grapefruit seed extract for antibacterial, antifungal,
and antiviral activity.
