Kidney Stuff by Golden Standards

[bigsonbitch]

was recommended this by my coach - apparently it protects the kidneys from all that we do in this sport.
ive seen testimonials where it has improved kidney function - but im a skeptic by nature.

wanted to see in anyone out there has used or uses this product with success.

It's crap. One of the ingredients is 'White Kidney Bean powder' which is only in there because it has the word kidney in its name. About as intelligent as saying that walnuts must be good for your brain because it's shaped like one. The other ingredients are similarly useless. The only thing that has even a modicum of evidence behind it is the flax seed, which you can buy for cheap on its own.

Probably someone will chime in here and swear by their mama that kidney stuff lowered their creatinine and saved their kidneys. As it turns out tough, kidney function recovers on its own in most people after they stop all the fucking drugs. The fact that you took this garbage supplement at the same time had nothing to do with it.

Just use astralugus. Buy in bulk. 2-3 grams per day. Keep BP down and stay hydrated.

That's the reason Dave Palumbo advertises and sells it on his website. Your coach may not have bad intentions, maybe he just heard people like Dave talk about it and took their word for it.

BTW this is not to say that you shouldn't do stuff for your kidney health. Lots of info on what actually works in various threads here on PM.

Palumbo promotes this stuff pretty hard but ingredients and their method of action was always a mystery to me. He swears he's seen it improve people's GFR though.

Jerry ward I believe promoted it too. I was actually planning to get some myself. But more to use for the fiber

Tons of coaches push this shit, i dont know why.

Matt Jansen use to push it pretty hard. Im glad people are smart though.
I immediately looked up the ingredients and did a deep dive....wayyyy too expensive for the random shit they have in there.

Here is some marketing from their site on "why" the ingredients work. With as many coaches endorsing it, makes you a little curious. But I agree I see nothing in ingredient profile that's scientifically accepted for kidney or GFR function improvement.

There is a a studies section also.

"BP is 160/100, but I'm taking Fenugreek seeds to help prevent kidney damage"

Gotta love bodybuilders
