Iran Develops Natural Supplement for Kidney Stone Treatment
WANA (Jan 25) – A team of Iranian researchers, in collaboration with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, has developed a natural gastro-resistant soft gel designed to help eliminate kidney stones. This innovation reduces reliance on foreign imports and offers a locally produced alternative for patients.
Advanced Technology for Better Results
The supplement, created using gastro-resistant soft gel technology, protects its active ingredients from stomach acid, ensuring better efficacy. The patented formula contains purified natural terpenes with pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic properties, aiding in the removal of kidney stones smaller than 10 millimeters.
Hadi Naderi, one of the young researchers involved in the project, revealed that this groundbreaking supplement is the result of seven years of collaborative work by a team comprising university professors and Ph.D. students. Previously, Iran relied on imported medications like Rowatinex to address kidney stone issues, but sanctions and subsequent shortages left many patients without access.
Dual Purpose: Treatment and Prevention
This product is not only effective in assisting with kidney stone removal but also helps prevent recurrence. It can support patients undergoing shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) by facilitating the removal of stone fragments. Proper hydration is also recommended for optimal results.
Local Innovation, Global Impact
By producing this supplement domestically, Iran has reduced reliance on costly imports, saved foreign currency, and created jobs across research, production, and distribution.
Kidney stones affect millions worldwide, causing severe pain and health complications. This Iranian innovation provides a cost-effective, accessible solution, showcasing the country’s growing capabilities in advanced healthcare technology.
