Why should we protect our kidneys?
When your kidneys are working properly, they play a vital role in keeping your entire body clean, strong, well-fueled, and functioning properly. Conversely, kidney failure puts your body at risk by allowing waste to build up and wreak havoc, which is why it's a good idea to do a kidney cleanse from time to time.
Healthy people typically have two kidneys, which are about the size of a fist and are located near the waste system on either side of the spine. The kidneys sit just below the rib cage and have the primary role of helping the body detoxify by getting rid of waste products.
The kidneys do this by cleaning about 150 liters of blood every day. During this cleaning, between one and two liters of urine are formed as water and waste is extracted from the blood.
The waste products that the kidneys filter include extra fluids, particles left behind in the digestive system, sodium/salt or other electrolytes, and various other substances found in the blood. The kidneys not only remove waste from the body in the form of urine, but they also help control blood pressure, remove medications or toxins, regulate hormones, and maintain a strong skeletal system (strong bones).
One of the most common kidney problems is infection. A kidney infection, or pyelonephritis, is a type of urinary tract infection that can be caused by bacteria or a virus. It often starts in the urethra or bladder and then moves to one or more kidneys. Common symptoms of a kidney infection include fever with or without chills, pain in the back, side, or groin, vomiting, nausea, frequent and possibly painful urination, and dark urine.
The second, equally common condition is kidney stones. It's estimated that one in 10 people will deal with a painful kidney stone at some point in their lives. These are small, hard deposits that develop in your kidneys, made from materials that you naturally have in your body all the time. They can block the normal flow of urine, causing pain in your bladder when it swells and your urine to become unusually concentrated with minerals as they build up and can't be passed out.
Clear signals of the presence of kidney stones are:
- Intense pain along the kidneys (sides and back under the ribs) - the pain may come and go, with varying intensity, and last between five and 15 minutes (especially when going to the bathroom)
- Lower back pain that may spread down below the kidneys, to the groin, and between the thighs
- Cloudy, bloody, or smelly urine
- Discoloration of urine, including brown or pink colors
- A persistent urge to urinate more than normal, sometimes with not much urine actually coming out
- Indigestion, nausea and vomiting (especially with severe pain)
Why choose KIDNEY SUPPORT from Pure Nutrition?
KIDNEY SUPPORT has the properties to counteract urinary tract infections, protect the kidneys and reduce inflammation.
The formula contains fully active ingredients that act synergistically.
Cranberry
Did you know that cranberries contain one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants of any fruit? That’s right – these amazing berries are loaded with health-promoting antioxidants that help protect cells from free radical damage and help prevent chronic diseases. One of the most well-known benefits of cranberries is their ability to act as a remedy for urinary tract infections. Cranberry berries are believed to contain specific compounds that prevent bacteria from attaching to the inner surface of the urinary tract or bladder.
Astragalus
Flavonoids found in astragalus provide health benefits through cell signaling. They exhibit antioxidant properties, control and scavenge free radicals, and may help prevent heart disease, cancer, and immunodeficiency viruses. Polysaccharides are known to have antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, among other health benefits.
Horsetail
Horsetail is used for such a wide variety of health problems, including urinary tract infections, edema, joint disease, hair loss, brittle nails, skin health, diabetes, osteoporosis, and much more. Horsetail is a natural diuretic that has also been shown to improve peripheral edema.
Juniper berries
Juniper berries are not actually fruits at all. They are the female cones that come from juniper plants, a type of conifer (Pinophyta), which is a cone-bearing plant or tree. There is a large body of research that reflects the incredible antioxidant and antibacterial potential of juniper berries.
Bearberry
Bearberry is most commonly used to treat urinary tract and bladder infections (also called cystitis). It has also been shown to help manage urinary incontinence (uncontrolled urine leakage) and to shrink and tighten mucous membranes in the body, which helps reduce susceptibility to infections. Other studies have shown that bearberry may help kill Escherichia coli (E. coli), a pathogen that causes urinary, bladder, and digestive problems.
Nettle
Nettle is used as a successful general diuretic and can help with urine flow. It is also taken for benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is characterized by increased urge to urinate, incomplete bladder emptying, painful urination, dribbling after urination, and reduced urine flow.
KIDNEY SUPPORT has a GMP quality certificate and is available in the form of vegetarian capsules.
Method of use:
- Take 1 capsule 1 to 2 times daily with food.
