The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Gallstones has encountered many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially the promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Recent study from some well known institutions suggested that combination of Green Tea(1) and fennel(4) and celery(8) may hold a key for a natural ingredients for reduced painful symptoms and treatment of Gallstones.

Gallstones are crystalline concretion, hard, pebble-like deposits formed in side the gallbladder, resulting in obstruction of the biliary tree which can lead to infection of the bile ducts with symptoms of constant pain, biliary coli, etc.  According to the Royal Infirmary, patients with human cholesterol gallstones are found to associate to lower intake of lower amounts of 10 among 16 antioxidants (P < 0.05 for methionine, alpha-tocopherol, manganese, and vitamin D; 0.05 < P < 0.10 for cysteine, beta-carotene, vitamin C, selenium, zinc, and phosphorus)(1).

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. Study from Chinese study suggested, tea consumption may decrease the risk of cancers of the gallbladder and gallstone disease among females(2).

Dr. Zhang XH and research team at the Shanghai Cancer Institute, in a 627 incident cases with biliary tract cancer, 1,037 cases with biliary stones and 959 randomly selected controls said, " consumed at least 1 cup of tea per day for at least 6 month,.... had significantly reduced risks of biliary stones"(3).

Coffee, a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans from the Coffee plant may also processed anti Gallstones effects depending to increased intake of coffee drink daily(4).

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbate, is a water soluble vitamin with a chemical structure formula of C6H6O6 found in orange inhibited the risk of gallstone formation without changing plasma lipids and bile lipid concentration(5).

In an observational, population-based study of 2129 subjects aged 18-65 years randomly selected from the general population in southern German with a prevalence of gallstones of 7.8% (167/2129) expressed the regular intake of vitamin C and to a lesser extent, reduced cholesterol levels in association of risk of gallstones(6).

In support to the influence of vitamin C supplementation in conditions for cholesterol gallstone formation in humans, the Danderyd Hospital, reported a significant change of relative concentration of phospholipids, bile acid composition, and percentage of cholic acid and those of deoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid in vitamin C treatment group in comparison to control(7).

The Smoothie of  Green Tea, Coffee and Orangemay hold a key for further studies in production of a curable natural remedy for prevention and treatment of  Gallstones.

People who are at  increased risk of Gallstones, due to family history, overweight, smoking....should drink at least one cup or more daily. People with Gallstones may drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.
