The extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the treatment of choice for most stones in any of their locations. It is about breaking the stone without surgically intervening on the patient and getting him to expel the fragments himself. It is thought that additional treatments to the ESWL could improve the success rate of ESWL for less favorable stones. The components of our authorized food supplement have shown an inhibitory effect in vitro on the growth of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals, even in hightly supersaturared solutions. Also these components show an inhibitory effect on the growth of calcium phosphate crystals. To sum up, it reduces the formation, inhibits the growth and promotes the dissolution of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate kidney stones. This is the reason why this experimental study aims to modify the size limit of the stones in the ESWL with adjuvant food supplement.
