About Kidney Health Supplements

When it comes to maintaining health, the kidneys and bladder are often fogotten about unless an infection is involved. However, these organis play crucial roles in the human body that extend beyond filtering the blood and serving the role of excretion. In fact, the kidney is so important that we have two of them, despite the fact that we can live with just one.

Together, the kidneys filter around 200 litres of blood each day. They are organs of elimination and assist the body in excreting waste products in the form of urine. The Bladder receives urine from the kidneys where it is stored prior to elimination. The kidneys play an important role in maintaining blood pH via the reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and the excretion of acids. This puts the kidneys at the forefront of maintaining systemic pH balance, along with the lungs (CO2 and O2 exchange).

Kidney and bladder products contain herbs and nutrients to soothe the urinary tract and assist with the elimination of excess fluid, referred to as 'fluid retention'. Kidney and bladder products may also be beneficial in preventing infection or assisting with the signs and symtpoms of urinary tract infections or cystitis. Antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, may also play an important role in preventing kidney disease and supporting optimal kidney health. Natural plant compounds commonly used to assist with the kidneys and baller, such as Cranberries and Milk Thistle, are high in natural antioxidant compounds.
