KSPtabs Have Made a Difference
Why I believe in KSPtabs — by Kent, KSPtabs co-founder
The First Stone
Just after my first daughter was born, I awoke to an unfamiliar sensation, quickly escalating to an excruciating pain I'd never experienced. One month to the date of her birth, I found myself back in the ER passing a kidney stone, the male equivalent of labor I was told.
A Cycle That Kept Repeating
Unfortunately, that was the first of many trips to the ER for kidney stones. I passed a stone at least once every other year, underwent two ureteroscopies, and finally shock-wave lithotripsy.
Trying Everything My Doctor Recommended
After my first incident, I felt desperate to find a solution, anything to avoid repeating that level of pain and mounting medical bills. My doctor recommended that I increase my daily water consumption, reduce food high in oxalates, and take four (giant-sized) citrate pills. While I went five years without any chocolate, none of these suggestions were a realistic regimen for me.
Kent's experience is a common one. Standard prevention advice — more water, less oxalate, prescription-strength citrate pills — works, but it's hard to actually stick with long-term. If you're not sure what's driving your own stones, a 24-hour urine test is the best place to start.
Finding KSPtabs
Frustrated that my efforts weren't eliminating the stones, I felt willing to try anything. After my lithotripsy surgery four years ago, my urologist, Dr. Trotter, told me about a supplement he was developing called KSPtabs — and I was ecstatic to give them a try.
No more horse pills, or restrictive diets, just KSPtabs. They had me drinking my recommended daily water intake, and in no time, enjoying a stone-free life. From home, to work, and on the go, I quickly became regimented in keeping a supply on hand, taking my daily dose regularly.
Ten Years Later
Fast-forward to ten years later, and I haven't passed a stone or had any kidney issues since starting KSPtabs. I can honestly say KSPtabs have changed my life and I want to do my part to help others at risk enjoy a stone-free life along with me!

Ready to Start Your Own Stone-Free Journey?
Kent's story is exactly why KSPtabs exists — a simple, sustainable way to get the hydration and citrate support your body needs, without giant pills or giving up the foods you love. Every tab delivers citrate, which binds to calcium in your urine first, leaving less free calcium behind for oxalate to combine with. It also delivers magnesium and vitamin B6 to help keep oxalate levels in check from the start, plus balanced sodium and potassium so your body actually holds onto the water you're drinking instead of it passing straight through.
The Trial Pack is the easiest way to find out if it works for you too — all three flavors (Key Lime, Very Berry, and Sunrise Citrus), so you can figure out your favorite before moving on to a monthly supply or subscription.
