We investigated the potential of Cymbopogon proximus (Halfa Bar) and Petroselinum crispum (parsley) seed extracts in reducing kidney stones, using a rigorous study design involving multiple groups of rats. One group received a mixture of ethylene glycol and ammonium chloride to induce urolithiasis, a condition characterized by kidney stone formation. In contrast, other groups received treatment either as an emulsion or a nanogel form of the extracts.
During the trials, we observed that the urolithiasis model led to a troubling decrease in essential kidney health indicators such as urinary magnesium levels and specific antioxidant activities, including glutathione and catalase. Additionally, we noted an increase in harmful substances that often contribute to stone formation, like calcium and oxalate crystals.
Interestingly, treatment with either the emulsion or the nanogel significantly improved these kidney indicators. It elevated glutathione levels and reduced the formation of oxalate crystals, all while enhancing kidney function. The nanogel version of the extracts showed even better results compared to the traditional emulsion, suggesting a promising avenue for further research.
In conclusion, our findings indicate that the extracts from C. proximus and P. crispum can indeed assist in protecting against kidney stones by supporting kidney function and minimizing unhealthy kidney changes. While glutathione played a role in this context, it was part of a broader treatment strategy, making its isolated effects harder to pinpoint.

Potential kidney impact
The price is excellent, but after taking two pills daily, they ran out in a month. I realised this affected my kidneys, so caution is advised.

Kidney function caution
A good experience; I bought it based on my sisters' recommendation. The results are promising, but I initially took two pills, which negatively affected my kidney function. So, be cautious with dosages and drink plenty of water.

Cleaning effect only
I didn't see any results from this product. It seems to only clean the kidneys and has average quality. It lasts a long time, but the taste is non-existent.
