Butyrate supplement for calcium kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a supplement called tributyrin, which the body turns into butyrate, a substance that may help prevent calcium kidney stones from forming. If you have had a calcium kidney stone in the past 3 years, this trial will see if taking this supplement can reduce the risk of future stones.
