Kidney “Stuff”™ was designed to support overall kidney health and function naturally in people with varying stages of kidney disease or those that have precursors to CKD. It is a nutritional dietary-supplement and is not intended for treating or dissolving kidney stones, although it still may be beneficial for your renal health.

Kidney “Stuff”™ Original Granular is the scoop-able POWDER formula that our customers have been using since our company was founded in 2010. This product is best for gentle maintenance. It contains a small amount of defatted wheat germ (gluten) and is intended to be mixed into smoothies or juices. It can also be added as a topper to a variety of foods like applesauce, salads, and toast.

Kidney “Stuff”™ Capsules are the PILL formula that was introduced in December of 2016. Capsules are sized 00, completely gluten-free, and contain 2 to 4 times the concentration of key ingredients versus the original formula for boosted performance. 

Our Kidney “Stuff”™ Original Granular formula is not gluten-free (wheat-free). It contains a small amount of defatted wheat germ. However, Kidney “Stuff”™ Capsules are completely gluten-free (wheat-free). For a gluten-free/wheat-free option, please choose Capsules.

Kidney “Stuff”™ is not recommended for those who are currently on dialysis because flaxseed has natural blood thinning properties. In addition to this, some vitamins and minerals can be lost during dialysis treatment, meaning Kidney “Stuff”™ may be less effective for you. Use caution and consult with your physician as to whether or not Kidney “Stuff”™ is right for you to use. 

Regarding gastrointestinal issues, sensitivities, or diseases, please consult with your specialist in this space to determine whether or not increasing your fiber intake with Kidney “Stuff”™ is appropriate. You can start slow and titrate your way up to the full dosage if well tolerated. 

Kidney “Stuff”™ is not recommended for pregnant and nursing mothers due to the additional fiber and natural blood thinning properties. You should always consult with your physician when introducing any new supplements to your diet or health program.

To enhance freshness, you may also store your product in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container to keep it dry. Kidney “Stuff”™ Capsules stay fresh for 18-24 months from manufacturing as well. There is a best by date stamped on all of our products.
