En otro estudio realizado en 2002 en la India se encontró que la chanca piedra ayudó a aumentar la secreción de bilis del hígado. Esto ayuda en la digestión, eliminando los desechos y mejorando la absorción de los nutrientes que consumes. Por lo tanto, la chanca piedra puede ayudar a eliminar los dolorosos cálculos renales de tu cuerpo e incluso prevenir su formación. También apoya la salud renal al tiempo que desintoxica el hígado, aumentando la producción de orina, lo cual es importante para quienes padecemos de gota (más orina = menos ácido úrico en el cuerpo). Además, equilibra las enzimas hepáticas para que puedas disfrutar de un hígado saludable.
