Can consumtion of amino acid cause kidney stone?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: You can't (shouldn't) avoid Amino Acids which are the building blocks to protein. Regardless of whether you're a omnivore or vegan, you still need protein and thus need to consume amino acids. However, an excess of protein complicated by inadequate fluids can lead to gout & uric acid stones. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/kidney-stones/ds00282 for more info.

Agree with Dr. L: Taking amino acids is not doing anything for you that eating a well balance diet will not. You are just wasting your money. Visit this site for advice on nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
