Stone Free After 19 Years: Hollie's KSPtabs Story
A Customer Story
"Pain, unlike anything I have ever felt." Hollie battled kidney stones for 19 years. This is how she finally found relief.
Pain, unlike anything she had ever felt
It started in May of 2000, when Hollie had her first kidney stone. She woke up at 2:30 AM feeling like she'd been stabbed. The pain is often compared to childbirth, and Hollie never thought she'd have another one. She was wrong.

Searching for a solution
Over the years, Hollie went through surgeries and procedures to manage her chronic stones. She tried different diets and drank more water, and nothing seemed to help. Then she found a new urologist, Dr. Michael Trotter, who set her on the right track. He introduced her to a product he was developing to give patients a daily tool against stones. She started drinking KSPtabs two to four times a day, and along the way learned how much hydration matters to kidney health.

Athletes and kidney stones
As a triathlete and self-described "stoner," hydration is everything for Hollie. Athletes get dehydrated easily because of sweat loss during hard workouts. When you exercise you lose electrolytes, which can mean muscle cramps, lower energy, and concentrated, dark yellow urine. Concentrated urine is fuel for stone formation. To avoid it, aim to drink enough to produce around 2 liters of urine a day.
One thing many people don't know: stones can form and sit in the body for years before they move, which is when you find out you have one. The pain may start as a dull ache and escalate to severe, sharp pain in your back or side, sometimes radiating to the lower abdomen or groin. At that point, seek medical attention right away.
Stone free
After 19 years, Hollie recently had a procedure and was told by her doctor that she is essentially stone free.
"I genuinely think that has to do with the KSPtabs. The minute I wake up, I drop a KSPtab in my water. As a triathlete, I run, bike, or swim every day. Once you form any habit, it's hard not to want to follow it, whether it's working out or drinking enough fluid."

She no longer keeps pain medicine with her at all times. "My previous doctors had me carrying pain medicine when I traveled or was participating in an athletic event. I cannot tell you how happy I am to finally be able to go out and run without worrying about the pain kidney stones cause. I carry KSPtabs. That's all I need."
Give your kidneys the backup they need
Hollie's results came from consistency, a habit built around one small daily step. Every KSPtabs tablet delivers citrate, which binds to calcium in your urine first so there's 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 passing it straight through.**
