  • SOLACE KIDNEY+

    Product Description

    Solace Kidney Health has been formulated with a blend of nutrients and traditional herbs aimed at facilitating kidney health by improving blood flow, kidney detoxification and supporting suboptimal or already-healthy kidney filtration levels.


    The synergistic properties of the ingredients in Solace’s Kidney+ confers renoprotection, as well as being able to counteract adverse effects, associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) such as reduced blood flow, diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension).


    CKD has been linked with various health complications, such as depression, stroke, compromised immunity, and imbalanced/insufficient mineral levels in the blood, such as anemia. Individuals with CKD are also at an increased risk of premature mortality associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer, making it critical to address CKD as early as possible.

    Contains 360 capsules.

    Astragalus root

    Astragalus root (taken orally) has been reported to be effective against CKD (chronic kidney disease) based on several metabolic markers for kidney health, such as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); serum creatinine, haemoglobin, and albumin levels. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood while retaining what the body needs — including proteins. However, some diseases and conditions that affect the kidney allow proteins to pass through the filters of the kidneys, causing protein to be present in the urine. Astragalus supplementation has also been shown to improve markers for proteinuria and albuminuria (proteins detected in the urine). Go to product page >


    Beetroot

    Beetroot is a source of several bioactive compounds, such as nitrate, betaine, and betalain, and has shown beneficial effects in CKD (chronic kidney disease) and general kidney health, including reduction of blood pressure, anti-inflammatory effects, and antioxidant actions by scavenging radical oxidative species. Beetroot consumption as a possible therapeutic strategy to improve the clinical treatment of patients with CKD or impaired kidney function have been observed in several preclinical studies.

    Grape Seed

    Resveratrol is a plant-based polyphenol that is found in abundance in grapes and may protect kidneys from a variety of toxins—including heavy metals, steroids, drugs, and alcohol—that can cause renal injury. Not only does resveratrol act as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound to fortify your kidneys against injury it may also improve renal function once an injury or disease has occurred.

    Cordyceps sinensis

    Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus that has been extensively studied as a potential therapeutic to confer a variety of beneficial effects on the body. Its extracts have effects of nephroprotection, hepatoprotection, neuroprotection, and protection against reperfusion-induced injury, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Cordyceps preparations administered orally have been persistently found to significantly decrease serum creatinine; increase creatinine clearance and reduce 24 hour proteinuria (proteins detected in the urine).

    Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

    An antioxidant synthesised inside the mitochondrion (the powerhouse inside every cell in your body) where it helps key enzymes turn nutrients into usable energy. ALA can protect cells from oxidative damage, including those in your kidneys, through the increased production of two other key antioxidants—superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)—in kidney tissue. These enzymes catalyse reactions that assist in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. ALA has also been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and help reduce blood sugar and lipids, largely through improving measures of oxidative stress and inflammation. Go to product page >


    Hawthorne berry

    The hawthorne plant, its berries, leaves, and flowers are all extensively used in a variety of herbal medicines that have a variety of effects. In some studies, hawthorne has been shown to act as a vasodilator (widening the blood vessels) and thereby increases the amount of blood pumped out of the heart, meaning it can relax constricted blood vessels, ultimately lowering blood pressure. Hawthorne berries in particular are a rich source of polyphenols which are powerful antioxidant compounds found in plants. Animal-based studies have shown that hawthorn berry extract significantly decreased levels of inflammatory compounds, leading to reduced inflammation and injury, in both the liver and kidneys.

    BioPerine®

    BioPerine® is a patented extract obtained from black pepper fruits (Piper nigrum) and may be co-administered with various nutrients to enhance their bioavailability. The addition of small amounts of BioPerine® to nutraceutical supplements has been found to enhance absorption of nutrients by at least 30%. Go to product page >


    Microcrystalline cellulose and Perkasil

    Microcrystalline cellulose and Perkasil are refined wood pulp and precipitated amorphous silica respectively. These agents are used as texturizers and anti-caking agents, most commonly used in vitamin supplements or tablets. These agents are considered industry standard, vegan-friendly substrates to ensure proper encapsulation and longevity of the vegetable capsules, containing Solace's Kidney+ ingredients.

Kidney Function Test Description

During routine health checks, healthcare practitioners frequently make use of a blood test, whereby the blood creatinine levels are measured.


Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles, into the blood and the kidneys filter creatinine out of your blood and send it out of your body through the urine. Individuals suffering from kidney disease or sub-optimal kidney function will result in a creatinine will build up in the blood. Healthcare practitioners can then determine the filtration rate of the kidneys using the creatinine blood test result, your age, sex, weight and race.


Daily use of Solace’s Kidney+ may help promote healthy laboratory markers of kidney function, such as the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), i.e. the rate at which the kidneys are able to filter toxins or waste from the blood.


Feel free to enquire with your healthcare practitioner to have this test performed, pre- and post-supplementation of Solace’s Kidney+. Testing blood creatinine tests (and by extension the eGFR) is usually part of a “general check-up” and the costs for the test is often reimbursable through medical aids. Please ensure that you confirm whether your specific medical aid covers these costs prior to testing.

SOLACE KIDNEY+ Questions Answered

  • What do I do if I am experiencing adverse side-effects?

    The ingredients in Solace’s Kidney+ are reported to be very well tolerated by the general public, and is considered safe for concurrent use with most supplements and/or medications. However, if you experience any mild or severe side-effects, please discontinue usage and contact us or your healthcare practioner.

  • What is the effect on treatment if I stopped/forgot to take my supplement?

    Solace’s Kidney+ is composed of specific nutrients, that are 100% natural so omitting to take the supplement for a period will not cause any regression or negative effects. However, regular and extended use of Solace’s Kidney+ is recommended for optimum results.

  • What is the effect on treatment if I choose to use a dosage lower than the recommended amount?

    Solace’s Kidney+ is specifically formulated so that the dosage is in line with the minimum effective dosage (MED), to reach the desired effects. While taking the supplement in divided dosages is preferential, using a lesser amount than the recommended dosage (12 capsules) will only result in the treatment taking a longer time to reach effectivity in the context of sub optimal kidney function. However, a lesser dose will be adequate for the purpose of preventative care of the kidneys.

  • How long does it take for Solace’s Kidney+ to start showing results?

    Due to the nutraceutical nature of Solace’s Kidney+ measurable results take time to occur, but the ingredients start to take effect as soon as the first dosage is taken. We usually recommend supplementation for about 6 months (depending of the severity of kidney disease/impairment, age, weight etc.) before a quantative difference may be detected.

    N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)


    N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is a precursor to glutathione – often referred to as the "master antioxidant" due to its essential role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and damage. L-Cysteine is sulphur-containing amino acid, which plays a role in metabolism as it assists the synthesis from fatty acids into energy. It is also involved in the synthesis of keratin, the protein in skin, hair and nails. NAC helps to heal and detoxify your liver from the effects of alcohol and harsh chemicals such as those found in common medications, such as painkillers. NAC has also been shown to help treat certain lung diseases and helps your body to break down mucous, ideal for easing respiratory problems. Go to product page >



    Milk Thistle


    Milk thistle is a herb traditionally used as a liver protectant and to support liver function. Milk thistle is also used to relieve digestive disturbances and heartburn. Milk thistle is a strong anti-oxidant that promotes cleansing of the body, thus helping to protect it from harmful effects of environmental toxins and alcohol. Several scientific studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially the bioactive flavonoid called silymarin) protect the liver from toxins, including certain drugs, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), which can cause liver damage in high doses. Studies suggest that silymarin may have anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial for individuals with liver conditions characterised by inflammation, such as hepatitis.

    Artichoke Leaf


    Artichoke leaf is essential to address a condition that affects an estimated 25 percent of all adults called NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). NAFLD is caused when abnormal amounts of fat build up in the liver, most commonly caused by sedentary lifestyles and high dietary calorie intakes. NAFLD is estimated to be present in up to 75% of people who are overweight and in more than 90% of people who have severe obesity. Artichoke extract suppresses disease symptoms, such as increases in serum lipids and bilirubin. Treatment with artichoke extract also displayed reductions in inflammation and liver cell death. Artichoke leaf may alss reduce the serum levels of certain types of liver enzymes, such as AST and ALT, both of which indicate liver damage when detected at high levels. Chronic alcohol consumption, drugs, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and chronic viral hepatitis are common causes associated with raised ALT and AST.  Go to product page >


    Dandelion Root


    The polysaccharides in dandelion are known to reduce stress on the liver and support its ability to produce bile, while also helping your liver filter potentially harmful chemicals out of food. Dandelion root has many naturally occurring compounds including inulin, sesquiterpenes, and phenolic compounds such as flavonoids, minerals, and phytosterols. Dandelion stimulates and improves digestion by increasing bile flow, which also helps to prevent gallstones. Patients with insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and inflammatory conditions can benefit from dandelion root, particularly due to impaired secretion (like if you're prone to the formation of bile stones). Go to product page >


    Myo-Inositol


    Inositol is a naturally occurring sugar that is often classified as a B-vitamin-like compound which can be beneficial for liver health. It has been found to prevent the build-up of fat in the liver and reduce the risk of liver disease. Inositol has been studied for its potential role in improving insulin sensitivity by diluting sugar within the blood, which is particularly beneficial for those with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Insulin resistance is a contributing factor to the development of NAFLD and other metabolic disorders. By improving insulin sensitivity, inositol may indirectly support liver health. Inositol has also been studied for its potential benefits in managing mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Some individuals with mood disorders may have comorbid liver conditions, and improving mental health can have a positive impact on overall well-being, which may indirectly benefit the liver.

    Choline Bitartrate/Polyunsaturated Lecithin


    Choline and myo-inositol are dietary supplements ingested under the premise that they facilitate the burning of stored fat. Choline and inositol have been shown to prevent abnormal or excessive liver accumulation of cholesterol and triglycerides in choline and inositol deficient individuals. Choline serves various functions in our bodies - in the structure of cell membranes and protecting our livers from accumulating fat. Choline helps in the production of lipotropic agents, converting fats into useful products, and aids in the production of good cholesterol. The body also needs choline to manufacture phosphatidylcholine that regulate the ability to allow nutrients and waste products to pass in and out of cells. Go to product page >


    BioPerine®


    BioPerine® is a patented extract obtained from black pepper fruits (Piper nigrum) and may be co-administered with various nutrients to enhance their bioavailability. The addition of small amounts of BioPerine® to nutraceutical supplements has been found to enhance absorption of nutrients by at least 30%. When we ingest chemicals and nutrients orally, they are subjected to first-pass metabolism in the liver. Consequently, enzymes of the liver may deactivate the active compounds before they reach the systemic circulation, thereby decreasing absorption and efficacy. Piperine (the bioactive component of BioPerine®) has stimulating actions on the production of digestive enzymes and bile acids that break down nutrients in food. Go to product page >


    Microcrystalline cellulose and Perkasil

    Microcrystalline cellulose and Perkasil are refined wood pulp and precipitated amorphous silica respectively. These agents are used as a texturizers and anti-caking agents, most commonly used in vitamin supplements or tablets. These agents are considered industry standard, vegan-friendly substrates to ensure proper encapsulation and longevity of the vegetable capsules, containing Solace’s ingredients.
