A member asked:
Effect of pycnogenol on kidneystone formation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably none: As far as i know there have been no scientific studies in this drug and kidney stones, but understanding how it works i don't see that it should have any effect and should be safe. It should not alter the acidity of the urine.
