Pairing KSPtabs with Summer Juices

As Memorial Day weekend approaches, you can feel that summer is almost here! The summertime heat brings pool parties, barbeques, and outdoor activities — but did you know it's also known as "kidney stone season"? The heat can lead to dehydration, which is believed to be one of the contributing factors when it comes to kidney stones.

Based on these numbers, chances are someone you know has passed a kidney stone — maybe it was even you.

One way to be proactive with your kidney health is by hydrating properly and keeping your body replenished with key vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. That's where KSPtabs come in — fully dissolvable effervescent tablets that support your kidneys by helping balance your urine pH. Just drop one into 16 ounces of water and drink up. They help support a healthy urinary environment by balancing crystal-forming substances in your body, including:

Potassium
An electrolyte and mineral that helps regulate blood pressure, heart rate, and bodily fluids — and helps prevent bloating and muscle cramps.
Citrate
Supports a normal urinary pH and helps reduce calcium crystal saturation — a basic building block of kidney stones.
Magnesium
Supports digestion and eases cramps, aches, and spasms. Improves circulation, helping keep uric acid moving until it's expelled, and binds to oxalate — another building block of kidney stones.

I like to add variety when taking my recommended daily dose of 2–3 KSPtabs. With temperatures soaring this summer, I'm always looking for new ways to enhance my daily hydration routine.

I love the fruits that are in season in the summer. This past weekend, I went to the farmers market and was lucky enough to stumble across fresh berries — but I can't wait for the watermelon, cantaloupe, and peaches to come into season!
