Chanca Piedra is an Amazon rainforest plant that helps to maintain optimal liver, gall bladder, and kidney health. It is the popular name given to several small fern-like plants in the Phyllanthus genus (botanical family Euphorbiacceae), including Phyllanthus niruri.What makes Royal Chanca Piedra royal?
Double Strength Capsules and Potent ExtractsRoyal Chanca Piedra capsules are “double strength” because the 400mg (weight) actually has the medicinal strength of 800mg. The combination of dried liquid extract and powdered plant material increases the potency. The liquid extract form of Royal Chanca Piedra is a 1:1 extract, meaning equal amounts of plant material and extraction agent are in the liquid. Most other companies offer 1:2 or 1:4 strength, which means two to four times as much extraction agent (solvent) as plant material.
Purity
Royal Chanca Piedra dry extracts (for capsules) are prepared from freshly picked leaves, stems and roots. They are then dried for Whole World Botanicals. Species identification is authenticated for each lot by thin layer chromatography. We have worked directly with the same supplier in Peru for 20 years. We definitely know our source!
Superior Processing
The plant material is collected in Peru and manufactured in the United States. The processing of the raw materials is key to product potency. At Whole World Botanicals, we have complete control over collection, processing, extraction, encapsulation, and bottling. We are committed to the highest standards.
Pleasant Taste
This delicate fern-like plant makes a very pleasant tasting tea. It can be taken on a regular basis for its health enhancing properties. Add a squeeze of lemon, if you like. The tea can accompany a meal because it stimulates bile production and helps digestion.
Different Formulations
One cup of Royal Chanca Piedra Tea, made with one gram (one teaspoon) of dried herb simmered for 15 minutes in 1 ½ cups of water is equal in strength to 30 drops of the liquid extract (one milliliter) or one capsule containing the extract from 400mg of dried herb (plus almost 400mg of powdered leaf). The capsule is double strength because of the added powdered leaf. All the formulations work well; it’s a matter of personal preference as to which formulation you use.
Can Royal Chanca Piedra be taken while undergoing other medical treatments, including lithotripsy?
Yes. We have not found any contraindication, through scientific literature or thousands of customers using this product, in terms of interference with prescription drugs. In fact, one study has shown that Chanca Piedra can increase the effectiveness of the lithotripsy treatment.Can Royal Chanca Piedra be taken long-term?
Yes.Are there any contraindications when taking Royal Chanca Piedra?
Consult your physician if pregnant or nursing.What is the best dosage for me?
Most people will take 1 cup at a time. In an immediate or urgent situation (see product label tab), consider taking 1 cup 3-5 times a day away from food. For maintenance, one serving a day of 1-3 cups is usually enough, several days a week.What is the shelf life for Royal Chanca Piedra?
Five years from date of manufacture. Look at the expiration date on your bottle to determine exact shelf life of the product you purchased.What is Chanca Piedra?
