Your Stone-Friendly 2026 New Year’s Resolution!
You Can Begin 2026 Kidney-Smart!
The New Year is all about fresh starts, better habits, and committing to your health goals. Many people resolve to eat better, drink more water, and take daily vitamins. But for individuals with a history of kidney stones, not all “healthy” habits are truly kidney-safe. This year, make a resolution that actually supports your body—a stone-friendly New Year—and start crushing it with CERO Multivitamin.
When “Healthy” Supplements Aren’t Always Kidney-Friendly
Kidney stones affect millions of people each year, with calcium oxalate stones being the most common type [Ref. 4,5]. Nutrition and supplementation choices play a meaningful role in stone risk, particularly when it comes to certain vitamins and minerals [Ref. 6,7].
Many standard multivitamins contain high doses of vitamin C, often far exceeding daily requirements. Research has shown that vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can be metabolized into oxalate, increasing urinary oxalate excretion—a known risk factor for calcium oxalate kidney stone formation [Ref. 3].
Large observational studies have linked supplemental vitamin C intake with an increased risk of kidney stones, particularly in individuals already prone to stone formation [Ref. 1,2].
What Makes CERO Multivitamin Different?
CERO Multivitamin was designed specifically for people who want complete daily nutrition without increasing kidney stone risk.
Unlike conventional multivitamins, CERO Multivitamin is:
Vitamin C–free, avoiding excess oxalate production [Ref. 2,3]
Oxalate-free, supporting kidney stone prevention strategies [Ref. 4,6]
Developed with input from kidney stone specialists
Designed to provide essential daily vitamins without megadose supplementation
Includes ingredients associated with a lower risk of kidney stone formation, based on established nutritional and metabolic principles outlined in clinical guidelines [Ref. 6,7]
Clinical guidelines emphasize individualized prevention strategies for stone formers, including careful evaluation of supplements and dietary exposures [Ref. 6,7]. CERO Multivitamin was created with those principles in mind.
A Smarter New Year’s Resolution: Prevention, Not Reaction
Too often, kidney stone management is reactive—focused on treating stones after they form rather than preventing them. Evidence-based guidelines stress the importance of preventive approaches, including hydration, dietary awareness, and avoiding unnecessary stone-promoting supplements [Ref. 6–9].
This New Year, prevention can be part of your daily routine:
Maintain adequate hydration
Make kidney-smart dietary choices
Choose supplements formulated for stone formers
Build sustainable habits that last beyond January
CERO Multivitamin fits seamlessly into this proactive approach.
Consistency Is the Key to Crushing Your Goals
The most successful New Year’s resolutions are realistic and sustainable. Rather than extreme or short-term changes, long-term consistency has the greatest impact on kidney stone prevention [Ref. 5,6]. CERO Multivitamin was designed to be easy to incorporate into everyday life—supporting your nutritional needs while respecting your kidney health.
Make 2026 The Year You Stay Stone-Free
If kidney stones have disrupted your life in the past, let this be the year you take control.
Your goal: A stone-free year/Reducing Your Stone Risk
Your habit: Kidney-Friendly daily nutrition
Your support: CERO Multivitamin
This New Year, don’t just set resolutions—start crushing them.
