KIDNEY CLEANSE
Litypure
Overview
The Litypure KIDNEY CLEANSE features a broad spectrum of herbal extracts, with Cranberry being the most adequately dosed ingredient for its primary benefit of urinary tract health. However, the majority of other ingredients, particularly those with traditional diuretic and kidney support claims like Horsetail, Juniper Berry, Uva Ursi, Hydrangea Root, and Dandelion Root, are present at amounts significantly lower than typically studied or recommended for therapeutic effects in humans. This underdosing, coupled with a general lack of high-quality human clinical evidence for many of these herbs specifically for kidney detoxification or cleansing, suggests that the overall effectiveness of this product for its marketed purpose is likely limited. While the blend offers some generalized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support from ingredients like Turmeric and Ginger, the core claims related to kidney cleansing are not robustly supported by the ingredient dosages or current scientific literature.
The Good
Contains Cranberry Extract at a dose (200 mg) that may contribute to urinary tract health and help prevent recurrent UTIs, an effect supported by clinical research.
Includes a wide variety of traditional diuretic and cleansing herbs, which may synergistically support urinary flow and mild detoxification in healthy individuals.
Incorporates ingredients with recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, such as Turmeric, Rosemary, and Ginger, which can broadly support cellular health.
The Bad
Key ingredients like Horsetail, Juniper Berry, Uva Ursi, Hydrangea Root, and Dandelion Root are significantly underdosed, likely limiting their effectiveness compared to research-backed amounts.
Many ingredients (Uva Ursi, Juniper Berry, Hydrangea Root, Gravel Root, Birch Leaf) lack robust human clinical trials, relying mostly on traditional use or preclinical animal/in vitro studies.
The combination of multiple diuretic ingredients (Parsley, Horsetail, Juniper Berry, Uva Ursi, Goldenrod, Birch Leaf, Dandelion Root) could exacerbate fluid and electrolyte imbalances if not carefully monitored, especially for individuals already prone to dehydration or on diuretic medications.
