Kidney Support

Dear Dr. Meletis,

Please advise which products are good for maintaining kidney health and function for a normal healthy person? Thank you.

Best regards,

Mr. C.

Dear Mr. C.,

The general approach is to eat a vegetarian-based diet with high-quality lean protein. It is critical to maintain a healthy blood pressure and proper hydration and minimize caffeine intake.

For my patients, I also recommend the use of trans-resveratrol (Extension Resveratrol), Vitamin D, Ethyl EPA and a good overall antioxidant such as Extension Antioxidant. Specific supplement considerations depend on family history, underlying current health risks and overall diet and lifestyle.

Sincerely,

Chris D. Meletis, ND
