Hi,
My friend on hemodialysis has tried some dietary supplements and gave feedback to me they have helped in his situations. I am not here to endorse any of these. Just thought to share his observation. ..
1. After 3-4 months of trying niacin extended -release tablets, (immediate release may not work as it is not tested ) his phosphorus level is now controlled in normal level, and that is also with Renagel. Before that, even with Renagel, his P is getting way high and skin itching and other sideeffects show up.
2. he also noticed some help with Q-gel ( bioavailable formulation of Coenzyme Q10), seems to make his heart stronger by withstanding some sideeffects of dialysis, such as nausea or vomiting.
3. For Probiotics, after a few days of trying, he noticed he can excrete faeces more smoothly and that's a big help to him.
anyway, pls do talk with your healhcare provider before taking in any dietary suppplements. While they may work from soome people, they may trun to be bad for others. Be vigilent about what we take in.
happy health!
