What Makes KSPtabs Different?

Why KSPtabs

There are plenty of kidney health supplements on the market. KSPtabs exists because a urologist watched his patients struggle with all of them. Prescription pills got forgotten. Diet changes didn't stick. "Drink more water" turned into a chore. He wanted something his patients would actually keep doing.

The Idea

Built by a urologist for the patients who kept coming back

KSPtabs was developed by Dr. Michael Trotter, a board-certified urologist who specializes in treating kidney stone patients. He saw the same pattern over and over: people who'd been through the pain of a stone, who knew exactly what they were supposed to do, and who still couldn't keep up with the pills, the diet and the water. Preventing stones isn't simple. His goal was to make it as simple as possible, for his own patients and for stone formers everywhere. If that's you, keep reading.

What's different

1It goes where you go.

2It makes water worth drinking.

3It puts the stone fighters in the glass.

Simple and Convenient

It goes where you go.

Pills live in the bathroom or the kitchen, which is exactly where you aren't when you forget them. KSPtabs come in a small waterproof tube you can keep in your desk, your car, your purse or your gym bag, wherever you'll actually see it. Drop one in water or your favorite drink and you're done. No stirring, no powder mess, no measuring.

We suggest a box of 8 tubes so you can scatter them through your day: one at work, one in the car, one by the bed. And since the tubes are waterproof, they're at home on the lake, at the beach or by the pool. Kidney stones shouldn't keep you from doing what you love.

Healthy Hydration

It makes water worth drinking.

Most stone prevention products are tasteless or only come as pills. Pills seem simple, but they're easy to forget, they don't hydrate you, and for a lot of people they cause nausea and stomach upset. KSPtabs come in three flavors, Very Berry, Key Lime and Sunrise Citrus, and they make you want the next glass instead of dreading it.

Most hydration drinks are loaded with sodium, which is fine for sweat replacement and not fine for stone formers. KSPtabs are low in calories and low in sodium, with a small amount of sodium bicarbonate that makes the tablet fizz and helps raise urine pH. You should still drink plain water through the day; KSPtabs is how you change it up and get an electrolyte boost that works for your kidneys rather than against them. See why your water shouldn't taste like the ocean.

General comparison; formulations vary by product.

Vitamins and Minerals

It puts the stone fighters in the glass.

Each tablet delivers 15 mEq of alkalinizing agents, including potassium citrate, magnesium and vitamin B6. Your body doesn't store these, so they need to come in on a routine basis. Together they support a healthy urine pH and give your kidneys the backup they need against crystal-forming substances. The full breakdown of how each inhibitor works is on our kidney stone FAQ.

How to Take Them

Drop, fizz, drink.

  • ✓Add one tablet to 16 ounces of water or your favorite drink and let it dissolve
  • ✓Want stronger flavor? Use a little less water. Lighter? A little more.
  • ✓At least two tablets a day, or whatever your urologist recommends
  • ✓Like ice? Add it after the tablet dissolves. Ice cold water slows the fizz.

KSPtabs is an over-the-counter supplement. You can order it on our website, on Amazon, or pick it up at local pharmacies in Austin.

Common Questions

KSPtabs FAQ

Is KSPtabs a replacement for prescription potassium citrate?

For some people, yes, but that's a conversation with your doctor, not a change to make on your own. The way to know it's working for you is a 24-hour urine test before and after, so the decision rests on your numbers.

Can I use KSPtabs instead of a sports drink?

Yes. Sports drinks lean on sugar and sodium, which stone formers should keep low. KSPtabs gives you the electrolytes that matter, potassium and magnesium, with just enough sodium to help you hold onto water, plus the citrate a sports drink doesn't have.

Can I put KSPtabs in something other than water?

Yes. Any cold or room temperature drink works; a lot of customers use it in juice or sparkling water. Just add ice after it dissolves, since very cold liquid slows the fizz.

Is KSPtabs vegan and gluten free?

Yes, both, and low in calories. The full ingredient list and amounts are on the Supplement Facts label above.
