The presence of a medical device within the urinary system, such as a catheter or a urinary stent, may also be the source of a bacterial infection; supporting the development of crystallisation. \u003cbr\u003eL-methionine will acidify the urine and create a toxic environment for the bacteria. The phytates play an important role inhibiting the formation of calcium phosphates crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XNUz8emCUkk?si=zQTL40XG0lxbi9nV\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are Kidney Stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKidney stone (urolithiasis) is one of the oldest and most common problems of the urinary system. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15% of men and 8% of women will have a kidney stone in his or her lifetime \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver half the people who get a stone will get another one within 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrine contains several minerals and nitrogen-containing compounds. Normally these dissolve and get eliminated in the urine. In some people, the concentration of these ingredients increases and they crystallise forming stones in our kidneys. People with certain conditions (obesity, diabetes and gout) are more likely to develop kidney stones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCould my kidney stone recur?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, if you have experienced a kidney stone in the past five years or have been diagnosed as a recurrent kidney stone former, combining dietary adjustments while taking Lit-Control as a preventative solution may inhibit the stone crystallisation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen and how to take Lit-Control pH Down\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is recommended to take one capsule of Lit-Control pH Down in the morning and one capsule in the evening with a glass of water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premier Wellbeing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58077112631670,"sku":null,"price":41.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/0814\/1942\/files\/LitC_pH_Down.png?v=1781274475","url":"https:\/\/www.premierwellbeing.co.uk\/products\/lit-control-ph-down","provider":"Premier Wellbeing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
