Hey all, we know of supplements that help with specific organ health, except for the kidneys. The biggest thing those in this lifestyle can do is manage BP. It's still amazing how many people don't do this or rationalize having a higher than normal BP. Aside from monitoring and controlling BP, Curcumin is an incredible supplement for kidney health (along with the heart, other organs, cancer prevention and overall health. All documented in studies).
Now this isn't an opinion and I'm not going to post up articles of somebody writing about why they think Curcumin is an incredible supplement. I'm posting links to medical studies via PubMed or other medical journals. Everyone here should take the time to read these!

This was something I found on the Livestrong website (it came up in my search). Definitely check with your doctor.
Turmeric may contain substances that support kidney health, but the spice is also a source of potassium. One tablespoon of powder contains 196 milligrams of potassium. If you have kidney disease, you may need to limit the amount of potassium in your diet, which means limiting your intake of foods such as turmeric. People with kidney disease have a difficult time keeping potassium levels in balance, which can affect heart rhythm.
