Scientific Studies and Research:
Research, with rats, at the Central Drug Research Institute of Lucknow, India in 2002 suggests that the Break-Stone herb (Chanca Piedra) is very helpful in the digestion of fats and lowering LDL cholesterol. These findings have a particular importance in the Untied States where fat consumption is the highest in the world.
The anti-hepatotoxic compounds in Phyllanthus niruri have been identified as phllanthin, hypophyllanthin, and triacontanal.
Brazilian researches also discovered powerful, long-lasting pain-blocking activity in the roots and stems of Phyllanthus niruri and other Chanca Piedra species.
