Moonstone Nutrition

Overview
News

Moonstone Nutrition is a pioneering nutraceutical company dedicated to preventing kidney stones. Its flagship product, Stone Stopper, is a patented formula containing clinically significant amounts of alkali citrate (from citrate salts) that increases urine citrate levels and alkalinizes urine, thus preventing the formation of calcium oxalate, cystine, and uric acid kidney stones. Stone Stopper is available in capsules, gummies, and powder drink mixes.

Developed by leading kidney stone experts from renowned institutions like Harvard, NYU, and UCSF, Stone Stopper provides a simple solution for the millions of Americans suffering from the excruciating pain of kidney stones. The company holds six patents in the US, Mexico, Australia, and Japan, with future patents pending in the EU and China.

Stone Stopper offers several benefits – it is low in sodium, has no added sugars, is non-GMO, and free of wheat, fat, and soy. It also serves as a source of magnesium and vitamin B6. The prevalence of kidney stones in the US increased by 231% from the late 1970s to the late 2000s, and Moonstone Nutrition aims to address this issue through its science-based solutions.

In August 2023, a study published in the journal Urolithiasis demonstrated that Stone Stopper effectively raises urine pH and citrate levels, thereby preventing calcium oxalate stones. As of June 2023, Stone Stopper products were launched at 3,800+ Walmart stores and Walmart.com, expanding the company's reach nationwide.
