When one's kidneys are not functioning optimally, there are many supplements that should be AVOIDED. 

Essentially, when the kidneys are not filtering the blood at optimal capacity... there can lead to a buildup of certain supplements & medications in the blood that would normally be filtered under the filtration rate of regular, healthy kidneys. Our Fit Father Supplements are no exception to this rule.

The following FFP supplements have ingredients that may cause problems for people with impaired kidney function. Here are supplements that are to be AVOIDED:

  • Burn RX
  • Test Booster RX
These FFP supplements listed above in the "avoid" list above have ingredients that may cause problems for people with impaired kidney function and are therefore best to avoid.
The good news is that there are some supplements are generally accepted as OK & SAFE for many people with MILD kidney disease:
1) Protein powders are generally recognized as SAFE (and potentially beneficial) for people with mild kidney disease.
Protein intake should NOT be too high (or too low) for kidney disease. Here is some research on that matter.
If approved by your doctor, our Fit Father SuperFuel Protein may be a good addition to your diet. Specifically, we would suggest our plant-based chocolate version of SuperFuel as there is supporting research that plant-based protein (pea protein in particular that is contained in SuperFuel Vegan) can help improve kidney function and provide key amino acids for health.  Read more here. 
One consideration with Kidney disease is monitoring the amount of Phosphorous in the diet. The kidneys normally filter & excrete the phosphorous that's contained in protein-rich foods. The phosphorous amount in SuperFuel Vegan is only 18% of recommended daily amount, which (pending your doctor's approval) may make it safe for your use.
The vitamins, minerals, and probiotics in SuperFuel are generally recognized as beneficial for kidney health. Here is a position statement from Kidney.org on this matter.
Important: In moderate to severe Kidney Disease, ALL supplements need to be managed & cleared by one's doctor and/or nephrologist.
