Before you purchase anything, run it by your physician. Generally speaking, supplements aren't regulated and you really can never be sure what you are getting.

As has been mentioned in this thread already, please consult your medical team for guidance on any new medications, vitamins or supplements before you take anything. Some herbal supplements may make your kidney disease worse. You can find more information about this here: kidney.org/atoz/content/her....
