KIDNEY STONES

Potassium helps in reduction of urinary calcium excretion, and people who eat high amounts of dietary potassium appear to low risk of forming kidney stones. Most kidney stone uses the form of the element called potassium citrate. However, increasing dietary potassium may reduce the risk of kidney stone recurrence. The best way to increase potassium is to eat nectarine. The level of potassium in food is much higher than the small amounts found in supplements.
