KIDNEY KINDNESS was formulated to offer supreme nephrological support as it combines six powerhouse ingredients to provide advanced kidney and urinary tract support.<\/p>\r\n
WHAT’S IN KIDNEY KINDNESS? ASTRAGALUS ROOT<\/p>\r\n
Astragalus membranaceus is a staple of traditional Chinese medicine commonly used for bolstering the immune system, supporting cardiovascular function and boosting vitality. Additionally, the plant also possesses potent anti-fibrotic properties and has been found in animal studies to support kidney health by reducing renal interstitial fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy and proteinuric nephropathy.[1,2]<\/p>\r\n
Researchers believe that the kidney-aiding benefits of astragalus are due to a combination of factors including increased nitric oxide (NO) production as well as suppression of transforming growth factor beta expression.<\/p>\r\n
An astragalus-based supplement was also found to benefit remaining kidney function (as well as general health & well-being) on individuals with impaired kidney function.[3] Additional human studies have found that astragalus preparations can benefit estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) -- an important metric of kidney function.[4]<\/p>\r\n
ORGANIC MORINGA LEAF Native to India, moringa oleifera is a plant with a wide range of beneficial biological activities, including[5]:<\/p>\r\n
Moringa leaves are particularly rich in powerful flavonoids such as quercetin, kaempferol and apigenin.[6] A number of studies have been conducted, demonstrating that moringa preparations can increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) as well as decrease the activity of certain noteworthy inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and COX-2.[7]<\/p>\r\n
Collectively, this supports antioxidant activity, which combats reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, supporting kidney function and cardiometabolic health.<\/p>\r\n
CRANBERRY FRUIT Cranberry juice is a well-known remedy for kidney complications and urinary disorders. In fact, clinical research confirms supplementation with cranberries may help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs).[8] Researchers also have found evidence of cranberries decreasing the ability of bacteria to adhere to the lining of the bladder.<\/p>\r\n
Recent studies also highlight that the bioactives in cranberry may also benefit the gut microbiome.[8]<\/p>\r\n
N-ACETYL CYSTEINE N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a prominent immune support supplement as well as a precursor to glutathione, a major antioxidant in the body.<\/p>\r\n
Human studies indicate significant improvement in residual renal function in individuals with reduced kidney function. These effects are mediated, in part, by reducing oxidative stress and improving outcomes of uremic anemia, common complication in persons with chronic kidney disease..[9]<\/p>\r\n
A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the use of NAC in individuals with kidney complications found that the supplement may benefit kidney function, relieve inflammation and reduce cardiovascular-related events among people with CKD.[10]<\/p>\r\n
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT Oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles in both the progression of many disorders, including those affecting the kidneys.<\/p>\r\n
Grape seed extract is rife with powerful phytoactives that demonstrate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Human studies indicate that supplementation with grape seed extract may[11]:<\/p>\r\n
Improve glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria Increase antioxidant status Decrease lipid peroxidation and carbonylation<\/p>\r\n
In addition to its hepato-supportive properties, grape seed extract is also known to benefit nitric oxide production, cognitive performance, cardiovascular health, immune function and aging, making it one of the best supplements available, regardless of your goal!<\/p>\r\n
ANDROGRAPHIS EXTRACT Andrographis (also known as “king of bitters”) is a medicinal herb traditionally used to support improved immune function, reduced inflammation, and antioxidant protection. A growing body of research also supports the use of andrographis for kidney, liver, and joint health benefits.<\/p>\r\n
Moreover, studies suggest that bioactives present in andrographis may reduce hepatic & renal (liver & kidney) alcohol toxicity.[12]<\/p>\r\n
