Chanca Piedra is commonly available in three forms:
Capsules (like our pure extract capsules)

What’s the Best Time to Take Chanca Piedra?
You can take Chanca Piedra capsules with or without food, but many users find it easier on the stomach when taken with a meal. Split doses—morning and evening—can help maintain a consistent level in the body throughout the day.
Can You Take Too Much?
Chanca Piedra is generally well tolerated, but taking too much can lead to side effects like:
Diarrhea
Lowered blood pressure
Increased urination
Electrolyte imbalance (in extreme cases)
💡 Stick to recommended dosages and stay well hydrated while using this herb, especially if you’re taking it for kidney or urinary support.
Daily Use Tips
Consistency matters: For best results—especially with kidney or liver support—use Chanca Piedra regularly for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
Take breaks: If using long-term, consider a short break every 8–12 weeks to give your body a rest.
- Stay hydrated: Water helps flush the kidneys and supports the herb’s natural detoxifying effects.
