Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The incidence and prevalence of kidney stones are notable and are projected to increase over the next decade. Risk factors for kidney stones abound, but a prominent risk factor is hyperoxaluria, which has numerous etiologies, including vitamin C (ascorbic acid) dietary supplement intake. This randomized, double-blind, crossover study examined the effects of two different vitamin C formulations and found that vitamin C with metabolites (Ester-C) significantly reduced urine oxalate levels compared to ascorbic acid. This is a potential novel finding that requires further clinical evaluation.
