Accepted Answer

Maybe. : Use caution. Silicate has the potential to promote calcium oxalate stone formation. Not sure what else is in your supplements, but excessive vitamin c is converted to oxalate which can also encourage stone formation. Might be a good idea to bring in your supplement bottles to the doctor who treats your stones in order to review all the ingredients and look for potential stone promoters. Good luck!
