What this could lead to: If effective, vitamin E could become a simple, low-cost addition to standard care for managing calcium oxalate kidney stones.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Vitamin E supplements can also cause side effects at high doses.
