Supplements I Actually Take as a 17-Year Kidney Transplant Survivor
I received a kidney transplant in 2009. For 17+ years I've navigated the supplement world as an immunosuppressed patient — figuring out what's safe, what's marketing noise, and what actually helps. This list is what I personally use every day and trust. My nephrologist has reviewed and approved my supplement routine. I'm not a doctor. Everything here has been vetted against immunosuppressant interactions and renal dietitian guidance. I avoided kidney cleanse products, St. John's Wort, and high-dose potassium and phosphorus — the stuff that sounds helpful but isn't for us. Full safety breakdown at KidneyBalance.com.
