Kidney Disease Nutrition & Supplements

To ensure an adequate supply of all basic nutrients, take a good multivitamin and mineral supplement daily.

Digestive enzymes help ensure complete digestion of foods, which relieves stressed kidneys, and also ensures better assimilation. This means more nutrients are available to help rebuild the kidneys. Take a full spectrum digestive enzyme supplement providing 5000 international units of lipase, 2500 international units of amylase, and 300 international units of protease, plus 500 to 1000 milligrams of pancreatin, with each meal.

Green drink products such as Green Magma and Green Essence, and green foods supplements such as chlorella and spirulina, available in health food stores, are rich in cleansing chlorophyll and important trace minerals, which are often depleted in people with kidney disease. Take a green-drink supplement as recommended on the product label.

Most people with kidney disease are deficient in magnesium twice a day.

Vitamin B6 deficiency is common in people with kidney disease. This important B vitamin helps reduce fluid retention. Take 50 milligrams twice daily, between meals. If you take any of the B vitamins individually, you should also take a B-complex supplement at a different time of day.

High doses of vitamin C can offer excellent "health insurance" for the kidneys. Take 1000 milligrams at least twice daily.
