The average time for dissolution of struvite crystals is about 14 days.\u003cbr\u003eHigh content of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EPA+DHA). Fish oil provides a high omega-3 content, which limits inflammation of the lower urinary tract.\u003cbr\u003eAcidification of urine (pH 6.0-6.5). The food maintains the urinary pH between 6.0 and 6.5 to allow the dissolution of struvite stones, without increasing the risk of oxalate formation (efficacy proven by Virbac).\u003cbr\u003ePhosphorus chelator.
