Besides Astragalus what supplements do you guys take for kidneys and kidney prevention? I take Nattokinase as well and also take Telmisartan for blood pressure.

For kidneys specifically I take the following, listed in order of most kidney protective:

telmisartan, nebivolol, and (because it can lower the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio or UACR) cialis.

Lower UACR means less albumin protein is leaking from the blood into the urine.

I'm also looking into dapagliflozin because it combined with telmisartan (or losartan) has shown in research trials to improve kidney outcomes when stacked on top of telmi.

This is what AI says about dapagliflozin:

dapagliflozin protects kidneys by blocking SGLT2, a transporter that normally reabsorbs glucose and sodium in the kidney tubules. More sodium then reaches the kidney’s salt sensor, called the macula densa, which restores tubuloglomerular feedback, the kidney’s pressure-control system. This lowers excessive pressure inside the glomerulus, the tiny filtration unit, reducing hyperfiltration and protein leakage into urine. It also makes the tubules do less energy-intensive sodium and glucose reabsorption, which may reduce oxygen stress, inflammation, and scarring. Clinically, this tends to slow kidney function decline rather than directly rebuild damaged kidney tissue over time.

Do you have kidney disease? Blocking glucose resorption seems like an increased risk of urinary infection. Is that one of the reported adverse events/side effects with that drug?

From Drugs.com:

This medicine may increase risk of having urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis or urosepsis. Check with your doctor right away if you have bladder pain, bloody or cloudy urine, difficult, burning, or painful urination, or lower back or side pain.


This medicine may cause vaginal yeast infections in women and yeast infections of the penis in men. This is more common in patients who have a history of genital yeast infections or in men who are not circumcised. Women may have a vaginal discharge, itching, or odor. Men may have redness, itching, swelling, or pain around the penis, or a discharge with a strong odor from the penis. Check with your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms.


This medicine may cause a rare but serious bacterial infection, called necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum or Fournier's gangrene, which can cause damage to the tissue under the skin in the area between and around the anus and genitals (perineum). Fournier's gangrene may lead to hospitalization, multiple surgeries, or death. Check with your doctor right away if you have fever, unusual tiredness or weakness, or pain, tenderness, redness, or swelling of the area between and around your anus and genitals.
 
Hydration and BP control are gonna be the two biggest things. Supp wise astragalus and taurine can be big.

Pharma wise, a BP med if needed. Also Jardiance (Empagliflozen) and Pentoxifylline
 
You wanna jack up your hydration but alot of people think that is just water. It's not. You want electrolytes too

With water, the trick I learned in the hospital is that you should be sipping water all day if you have kidney damage. Literally every 15minutes. It should be room temperature and contrary to popular opinion, you don't want to chug large quantities of water. You want small sips. Large amounts of water actually stress the Kidneys more, so chugging a bottle of water at once to "try" and hydrate actually stresses the kidneys more.

Temperature matters too. Ice cold water also can stress the kidneys.

I like to use Glutathione as well. It not only helps the liver primarily it helps the kidneys secondarily. I.V is a great option if you can swing it. Pricy.

Also "massage" helps. Believe it or not. Working in the hospital we found that massaging organs can actually stimulate blood flow and make them work better as ridiculous as that may sound. Think of when someone has a heart attack. They massage the heart to stimulate it back to normal rhythm.. When I go get a massage I always have them focus on massaging my kidneys. I absolutely see improved kidney function when I drink water all day, use glutathione and regular massage , BP in range and also get off all orals if you have kidney stress IMO.

What kind of Glutathione do you take?

Most people don’t know this about cold water. I always drink room temperature water

I sell lypholized on my store. I use exactly what I sell. 50mgs ed. Works like a charm at low dose.

I have used Amino Asylum aka Soma Chems version also if I don't have access to mine. Mine sells out mega quick. But its liquid gold. I use it all year round. Worth the money imo.

I don't have any kidney damage, none that I know of at least. My Cystatin C eGFR is 95 and those protein pee strips say I'm not leaking any detectable levels of protein. So I think I'm doing pretty good kidney wise.

I'm just very over-protective of my kidneys since they have such a poor regenerative and healing capacity. Once they're damaged, they're pretty much cooked permanently. Unlike the liver which can take a beating and heal itself back to normal.

I wasn't aware of that urinary infection risk, thanks for pointing that out.
