Kidney Complex was specifically formulated with herbs that help support the urinary system and prostate. It offers uva-ursi, which is used to support normal urinary tract function. Cranberry has also been used to help maintain urinary tract health for hundreds of years. Cranberry helps to maintain microbial balance in the urinary tract and has been shown in clinical research to support measures of urinary tract function, such as urine flow rate, average flow, total volume and post-void residual urine volume. Saw palmetto and stinging nettle further support prostate and urinary tract health, and have also been found to support urinary comfort and function in clinical trials. In addition, Kidney Complex contains three-leaf caper and barberry for their traditional use in supporting kidney health. These important herbs function as a diuretic and regulate calcium oxalate crystallization in the body. Similarly, corn has a long history of use in traditional medicine to support the kidneys and bladder. Along with other herbs in this formula, such as cranberry, stinging nettle, barberry and caper, corn supports cellular health by providing protection against free radicals.*
