The kidneys’ main function is to remove toxins (uremic wastes) that accumulate in the blood as a result of the body’s metabolism. The body continuously uses digested elements from foods and stored nutrients to perform normal bodily functions. The by-products of nutrient metabolism and cell function are filtered from the blood by the kidneys, which excrete (discharge) wastes as urine. Every day, approximately 200 liters of blood flow to the kidneys where 2 liters of waste are filtered out. The kidneys also regulate levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, chloride, bicarbonate, and magnesium in the blood. Should these minerals become imbalanced, a myriad of symptoms and disease processes such as kidney stones, high blood pressure and edema can ensue.

We offer the following Standard Process® supplements to support the kidneys.
