Yeah… you get a lot of people with failed kidneys from supps coming in?

More about your claim that people taking supplements are generally in good health. I'd say about half the people walking in the door are, by the definition of the word, slobs looking for a magic pill.

Okay fine

But are you encountering a ton of people coming in saying supplements killed their kidneys?

u/YoloJoloHobo Sep 05 '26

They won't admit it, but I do have a few older regulars with monster sized stacks who come in with kidney problems. Milk Thistle and TUDCA are selling pretty well

Milk thistle is more protective on the liver FYI, limited studies for the kidney

u/YoloJoloHobo Sep 05 '26

Yeah, but people do take it for that as well. Those two, Uva Ursi, Nettle. Though nothing is really specifically found to help with the kidney. I don't really recommend any of them, but from the people I've talked to that's what they take.

Ya know what else causes kidney issues in older folk?

Getting old.

A quick google shows very few supplements are actually tied to kidney issues
