Optimal levels of magnesium and urine acidifiers, which help prevent the development of calculi (stones) in the bladder.
Contains chelated minerals for optimum assimilation of certain special mineral compounds.
Yucca schidigera lowers the production of ammonia in the stool and decreases offensive odours.
Vitamin C added for extra immune support.
