3 Vitamins and Supplements for Kidneys
Article posted in: Kidney Health

Vitamins and supplements for kidneys can be valuable diet add-ons for patients! Many people with kidney problems may be hesitant to take vitamins or supplements. As a result, they may miss vitamins and supplements for kidneys that may help their entire body (2).

Kidney patients lack nutrients for several reasons. First, dialysis treatments often lead to lost nutrients. Next, some medications may remove or block the absorption of certain nutrients. (1,2,6)

Subsequently, patients may require supplements to meet their daily requirements. (2) We’ve found that the following may help in maintaining healthy kidney function.

Useful B Vitamins include B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (niacin). Furthermore, B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) are useful. It’s important to note that iron, B6, B12, and folic acid help with anemia. (7)

Vitamin D3 earned its nickname, “Sunshine Vitamins.” This natural form is useful. Despite this, D2 is often prescribed to assist with problems. (2)

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria living in the gut. These bacteria help create vitamins and digest food.

 Unfortunately, low kidney function may lead to decreased “good” bacteria and inflammation. When inflammation occurs, the body has a harder time removing toxins. (3,4) Renadyl™, a probiotic for kidney health, is formulated to help maintain healthy kidney function. (5) To learn more about how Renadyl™ works, click here.
