Kidney Complex Mint Flavor
TerraVita
Overview
This Kidney Complex contains several herbs traditionally used for urinary and kidney support. While individual ingredients like Corn Silk and Horsetail have some clinical evidence for diuretic, blood pressure, and lipid-lowering effects, the product uses a proprietary blend. This means the specific amounts of each active herbal glycerite extract are undisclosed, making it impossible to ascertain if they are present at clinically effective doses. Java Tea and Kidney Bean Pod glycerites also have some preclinical data on anti-inflammatory and glycemic control, respectively, but human clinical trial data for these specific glycerite forms are limited, further diminishing confidence in the product's overall efficacy.
The Good
Utilizes traditional herbal ingredients known for kidney and urinary tract support.
Alcohol-free glycerite liquid extract, suitable for those avoiding alcohol.
Mint flavor may improve palatability for regular consumption.
The Bad
Proprietary blend obscures individual ingredient dosages, limiting transparency and making efficacy assessment challenging.
Limited high-quality human clinical trials specifically for the combination and glycerite forms of these extracts.
Potential for drug interactions, especially with diuretics, antihypertensives, and anti-diabetic medications.
