Here is some literature information on using dietary supplement to boost adult stem cells to help on kidney health. Basically, it is using some stem cell enhancers / activators, kidney-targeted growth factors (e.g. insulin growth factor) or others to help on nascent nephron growth or differentiation in vivo or in vitro.
One hypothesis is to enhance stem cells from our body (from bone marrows per se) and stimulate it to migrate towards the organs of interest (e.g. kidney) and differentiate there to functional tissues (such as nephrons).
Some such supplements include:
1. cordyceps sinemis (冬蟲夏草)to increase adult stem cells in your bone marrow
2. velvet antler -(鹿茸) to provide growth factors (insulin growth factor, epidermal growth factor) for the growth and differentiation of stem cells)
3. NutraStem Sport - proprietary blend commercially available from Natura Therapeutics
and others

Adult stem cell activation:
using NutraStem (blueberry/carnosine/green tea/Vitamin D3)
using blue-green algae (AFA) :
(Although AFA can have action of mobilize stem cells, there is concern on toxcity in some contaminants growing in the source - microcystin. Even though batch of AFA may have undergo QC check, it'd be better not to run the risk of eating tainted AFA extract. So, I think nutrastem is a better alternative to AFA at this stag , as stem cell activator )
