Jardiance has really helped me.

High daily dose (10g) standardized astragalus root extract seemed to raise my Cystatin C based eGFR by 10 points within about a month of starting.

That right there could be putting some substantial strain on your kidneys

Urolithin-A. Don't blow your money on Timeline. Get Barlowe's. Probably depends on the "why" of your low kidney markers. I didn't get benefit from Astragalus, and I've been on it for close to a year. I was taking it that whole time you see the labs get worse.

You think so? Even with the boost in eGFR I observed?

Clinical trials in CKD patients have used doses up to 30g/day of astragalus root and reported improvements in kidney function markers, including eGFR. Although I must admit I do not have CKD and these studies typically used raw herb preparations rather than standardized extracts.

This can have an effect on medications similar to graepfruit

 

[Ateam2023]

Some interesting information I found when I researched the effect of this, I wonder if something other than this was in play to help raise EGFR?

 

[nullandvoid]

Ok guys don't try it. I wouldn't want something to mess with your medications or have you waste money. Yeah I just randomly throw shit in my protocol and it must've been something else.

Adjusting for height and weight.
Us larger, heavier gym goers always have lower eGFR until you "adjust for body surface area":

This is of course if you are basing everything on creatinine.

This worked for me per lab work. It was 2 months. I took 4 tsp, which will be 8g. Knocked it right back in line. After the test I dropped to 2 tsp which is 4g. Took another round of tests 3 months later, got a new PCP and had new impatient deal w/tests as part of their requirement, and my levels rose a bit but still plenty in line. I still take 4g per day. I put it in tea, its great.

Have not heard of the Urolithin A thing but I'm going to look into it. I probably can't take it if its similar to grapefruit. Tadalifil 5mg per day it's recommended to avoid grapefruit.
