Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon)	based on preliminary research, it is not clear if drinking cranberry juice increases or decreases the risk of kidney stone formation. cranberry juice is reported to decrease urine levels of calcium, increase levels of urine magnesium and potassium, and increase urine levels of oxalate.	c
phosphates, phosphorus	kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) are an u.s. food and drug administration (fda)-labeled use of phosphates in adults. taking potassium and sodium phosphate salts orally may help prevent kidney stones in patients with hypercalciuria (high urine calcium levels) and in patients with kidney stones made of calcium oxalate. however, phosphate administration when stones are composed of magnesium-ammonium-phosphate or calcium phosphate may increase the rate of stone formation.	a
vitamin b6	pyridoxine alone, or taken with magnesium, may decrease urinary oxalate levels, which can contribute to a certain type of kidney stones. higher pyridoxine intake has been associated with decreased risk of kidney stone formation in women but not in men with no history of stone formation. benefit has not been proven in other types of kidney stones such as those associated with high urinary calcium, phosphorus, and creatinine. further data is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn.	c
