Lit-Control pH Up - increases urine pH

Lit-Control pH Up 

Food for special medical purposes (balanced diet) for the dietary management of kidney stones. Lit-Control pH Up supports urinary system health by helping to increase urine pH and inhibit the formation and growth of certain crystals.

The set contains 4 packs of Lit-Control pH Up, each with 60 capsules, making it particularly suitable for long-term use within the scope of the intended dietary management.

Lit-Control pH Up has been specially developed for kidney stones whose formation is promoted by overly acidic urine with a pH value below 5.5. This particularly affects uric acid stones.

The special formulation combines five coordinated ingredients: potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, theobromine from cocoa, zinc, and vitamin A.

What is Lit-Control pH Up?

Lit-Control pH Up is a food for special medical purposes for targeted dietary management of kidney stones.

The pH value of urine plays an important role in the formation of various types of kidney stones. Uric acid stones preferentially form in a persistently acidic urinary environment.

Lit-Control pH Up has been specially developed to increase the pH value of urine and thus create a less favorable environment for the formation of uric acid crystals.

The combination of potassium citrate and magnesium citrate serves to alkalize the urine. Theobromine complements the formulation through its influence on uric acid crystallization. Zinc and vitamin A support the special nutritional concept.

Areas of application

Lit-Control pH Up is intended for the dietary management of kidney stones that preferentially form at a too low urine pH value.

The product is particularly suitable for:

• Uric acid stones

• Tendency to form uric acid crystals

• Overly acidic urine

• Urine pH values below 5.5

• Recurrent formation of uric acid stones

• Special nutritional medical need for urine alkalization

The product is intended for individuals for whom an increase in urine pH is part of their individual dietary management.

How does Lit-Control pH Up work?

Lit-Control pH Up addresses various factors that are important for the formation and growth of uric acid crystals.

Potassium citrate and magnesium citrate increase the pH value of urine and thus counteract an overly acidic urinary environment.

The solubility of uric acid is highly dependent on pH. By increasing the urine pH value, the solubility of uric acid improves, which can reduce the formation of uric acid crystals and support the dissolution of existing uric acid stones.

Theobromine additionally influences the crystallization of uric acid.

Zinc and vitamin A complement the formulation and support the physiological functions of the body and urinary tract.

Potassium citrate

Potassium citrate is an essential component of Lit-Control pH Up.

Citrate has alkalizing properties and helps to increase the pH value of urine.

This creates a less acidic urinary environment. This is particularly important for uric acid stones, as their formation is favored by low urine pH values.

Increasing the urine pH value can also improve the solubility of uric acid and thus support the dissolution of already formed uric acid stones.

Magnesium citrate

Magnesium citrate complements the alkalizing effect of potassium citrate.

Magnesium citrate also contributes to increasing the urine pH value and is part of the special formulation for the dietary management of uric acid stones.

Magnesium is also an essential mineral and performs numerous functions in the human body.

Theobromine

Lit-Control pH Up contains cocoa seed dry extract from Theobroma cacao with a standardized content of 40% theobromine.

Theobromine is a natural component of the cocoa plant.

Within the special dietary management of Lit-Control pH Up, theobromine serves to inhibit the formation of uric acid crystals and extend their crystallization time.

Thus, theobromine complements the alkalization of urine caused by potassium and magnesium citrate.

Zinc

Lit-Control pH Up contains zinc in the form of zinc gluconate.

Zinc is an essential trace element and contributes to normal acid-base metabolism.

In addition, zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports a normal immune system function.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is contained in Lit-Control pH Up in the form of retinyl acetate.

Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes and thus also supports the physiological function of the body's mucous membranes.

As part of the special composition of Lit-Control pH Up, vitamin A complements the components that are aimed at the urinary environment and crystal formation.

Uric acid stones and acidic urine

Uric acid stones preferentially form at a persistently low urine pH value.

If the urine is too acidic, the solubility of uric acid decreases. This can cause uric acid to crystallize. Over time, initially small crystals can develop into larger kidney stones.

A targeted increase in urine pH can improve the solubility of uric acid and thus counteract the new formation of uric acid crystals as well as support the dissolution of existing uric acid stones.

Lit-Control pH Up has been specially developed for this dietary management.

Recommended intake

It is recommended to take one capsule twice daily.

Take one capsule with breakfast and one capsule with dinner with a glass of water.

Regular intake according to the recommended dosage is important for the intended dietary management.

The recommended daily dose must not be exceeded.

Use for swallowing difficulties

For people with swallowing difficulties, the capsules can be opened.

The capsule content can be stirred into yogurt or fruit juice and then consumed.

Control of urine pH

Since Lit-Control pH Up is specifically used to increase a too low urine pH value, regular control of the urine pH value is useful as part of dietary management.

Excessive alkalization should be avoided, as a persistently too high urine pH value can in turn promote the formation of other types of kidney stones.

The individually desired urine pH value should therefore be determined taking into account the type of stone and the medical situation.

Fluid intake

Adequate fluid intake is an important part of dietary management for kidney stones.

A higher urine volume can reduce the concentration of stone-forming substances in the urine and thus counteract crystal formation.

In case of impaired kidney or heart function, the individually suitable daily fluid intake should be discussed with the treating physician.

Important notes

Lit-Control pH Up is a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet).

Not suitable as the sole source of nutrition.

Use only under medical supervision.

The recommended daily dose must not be exceeded.

In case of existing kidney diseases or potassium balance disorders, the use should be specifically discussed with the treating physician due to the potassium citrate content.

In case of acute severe pain, blood in the urine, fever, chills or other symptoms that may indicate renal colic or a urinary tract infection, medical clarification is required.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light.

Keep out of reach of small children.

Side effects and tolerability

When used as intended according to the recommended intake, Lit-Control pH Up is intended for special dietary management.

As with products containing minerals and concentrated plant extracts, intolerance reactions or gastrointestinal complaints may occur in individual cases.

Lit-Control pH Up should not be used if there is a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

Due to the potassium content, medical advice should be sought before use, especially in case of impaired kidney function or existing potassium balance disorders.

In case of unusual or persistent symptoms, medical or pharmaceutical advice should be sought.
