Chanca piedra is the dried aerial herb, leaf and stem, of Phyllanthus niruri, a small tropical plant. Most wholesale supply comes from the Peruvian Amazon, where it is a long-standing herbal tea ingredient. It is sold in three forms, and the right one depends on whether you brew it, bag it, or blend it.

Choosing a form
Cut and sifted pieces suit loose tea and decoction. Tea bag cut is screened finer for bagging. The 60 mesh powder passes a 60 mesh screen, about 250 microns, which suits capsules and powder blends.
Where it is used
Buyers use chanca piedra in herbal teas, capsules, powder blends, and as a raw material for extraction.
What to check on the COA
Match the lot number and test date on the certificate to the lot you are quoted, then read the results against your own specification, not just the seller's. For chanca piedra, check identity carefully: several Phyllanthus species look alike, and the specification should name the species. Then read microbiology, heavy metals, foreign matter, and moisture. See how to read a certificate of analysis for the full walkthrough.
Buying notes
The minimum order is one unit, meaning one full pack. Every listing shows a live per-kilogram price at the highest volume tier, and quotes come back within one business day with the lot COA, the specification sheet, and freight options. Stock sits in US warehouses and is already cleared into the United States, so there is no import step on your side. Most listings offer a sample before you commit.
