Pomegranate juice
Pomegranate juice lowers the acidity of your urine and this reduces your risk of developing kidney stones. A 2014 study [6] found that pomegranate juice was helpful in the treatment and prevention of kidney stones. Patients with recurrent kidney stones were given 1,000 mg of pomegranate juice for 90 days. Analysis of their urine revealed that taking the juice reduced the concentration of calcium oxalate in their urine.
Studies have established a link [7] between oxidative stress and kidney stone formation. The potency of pomegranate juice against kidney stone formation is attributed to its high antioxidant properties which relieve oxidative stress.
Pomegranate juice has no toxic side effects, but it can interact with certain medications [8]. You should speak to your physician before committing to it. Do not take pomegranate juice if you’re on medications for high blood pressure.
