Many people cringe at the word "Supplement" - but they can address specific areas where you need assistance and help your body out.  Your dietician and physicians should discuss supplements (Iron, Fiber, Vitamin D, Vitamin B, CoQ10, etc.) with you and if supplements may help slow down your kidney disease and possibly improve your kidney function.  Never self prescribe supplements - always consult with your health care team first!  Below are the supplements I currently have in my cabinet.

​

I take daily 30 minutes before I eat to help lower BUN, uric acid, and creatinine.

  • Three clinical studies have shown, Renadyl™ can help reduce BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) Levels and other Nitrogenous wastes.

D3_50000iu_.jpg

High Potency Vitamin D3 (50,000iu/125mcg)

 

I take 1 tablet every other week to keep my Vitamin D levels up.

  • Chronic kidney disease patients are often deficient in vitamin D, which helps maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus and helps promote calcium absorption, important for strong bones.

  • Promotes hair growth and helps you grow thicker hair.

  • When I was first diagnosed with CKD I needed 100,000iu a week for the first 6 weeks to get my blood work within the standard range.

Nephro-Vite.jpg

Nephro-Vite Vitamin B & Vitamin C

 

I take 1 tablet every day to keep my RBC & Hemoglobins up and prevent Anemia.

  • Helps make new cells; maintains nerve cells

  • Works with folate to make red blood cells.

  • Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron; manufacture collagen, form and repair red blood cells, bones and other tissues.

CoQ10-300mg.jpg

Kirkland CoQ10 300mg softgels

 

I take 1 tablet daily in the morning with breakfast to reduce Cholesterol and Creatine in addition to helping my heart health and blood pressure.

  • Helps Maintain healthy blood pressure

  • Promotes energy production

  • CoQ10 supplementation significantly improved metabolic profile in patients with CKD by reducing total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, MDA and creatinine levels, yet it did not affect fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, and CRP concentrations. (2018)

  • 81% Positive Response to CoQ10 treatment for Chronic Kidney Failure (Singh RB, et al. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of coenzyme CoQ10 in patients with end-stage renal failure. J Nutr Environ Med 2003;13:13-22.)

  • Fortifies the body’s natural antioxidant capacity and reduces levels of oxygen free radicals, indicating its important defense against CKD. As it happens, CoQ10 has been used experimentally to control hypertension and kidney disease in laboratory animals since the early 1970s.

Melatonin.jpg

Melatonin 10mg

 

I take 1 tablet at night as needed (usually when traveling to different time zones) to help sleep.  Not to be taken every night.

  • Supports rest and relaxation to aid with occasional sleeplessness

  • Nutritionally supports sound sleep

  • No artificial ingredients or potassium (be careful of other brands - most contain potassium)
