In His Own Words
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.
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!

Where KSPtabs Fits
Prevention you can actually stick with.
Kent's story is 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. Add a tablet to your water and the citrate binds to calcium in your urine first, leaving less free calcium for oxalate to combine with. It also delivers magnesium and vitamin B6 to help keep oxalate in check, plus balanced sodium and potassium so your body holds onto the water you drink instead of it passing straight through.

Common Questions
Questions people ask after reading Kent's story
Can KSPtabs replace the citrate pills my doctor prescribed?
For some people, yes. Kent is one of them. But it's a conversation to have with your doctor, not a change to make on your own, and the way to know it's working for you is a 24-hour urine test. Your urologist can check your citrate and other numbers before and after switching, so the decision rests on your results rather than a guess.
Do I still have to give up chocolate and spinach?
For most stone formers, no. The realistic approach is to limit the highest-oxalate foods, keep portions sensible, and give your kidneys backup with plenty of fluid and citrate. Our guide to which oxalates actually matter breaks it down.
How is KSPtabs different from a sports drink?
You can use KSPtabs in place of them. Sports drinks are built for sweat replacement, so they load up on sugar and sodium, and both work against you if you form stones. KSPtabs gives you the electrolytes without the overload: potassium and magnesium, which do real work for hydration and muscle recovery and which most sports drinks skimp on, plus just enough sodium to help you hold onto water without the salty taste. And you get the citrate on top. Read more in Hydration: why it matters and how to do it right.
