Liver & Kidneys

Q: What are Chanca Piedra and Desmodium?

Chanca Piedra, also known as 'stone-breaker', and Desmodium are traditional herbs that are gently extracted and round off the category range. They have long been used across various natural health traditions. As with all our extracts, we place great importance on a clearly declared, defined content.

Q: What should I look out for when buying?

High-quality extracts are calibrated to a defined content – for example, milk thistle standardised to a high silymarin percentage, or artichoke to its cynarin content. This is exactly what you should look for when comparing products. All Scheunengut products are vegan, lab-tested and bottled in Germany.
