Taking care of your kidneys, Cranberry but Baking soda? effective for CKD.

[SHINE]

A daily dose of sodium bicarbonate—baking soda, already used for baking, cleaning, acid indigestion, sunburn, and more—slows the decline of kidney function in some patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), reports an upcoming study in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). "This cheap and simple strategy also improves patients' nutritional status, and has the potential of translating into significant economic, quality of life, and clinical outcome benefits," comments Magdi Yaqoob, MD (Royal London Hospital).

I am wondering how beneficial taking sodium Bicarbonate *baking soda* would be to help protect the kidneys on cycles.

heavy long term Anabolic steroid use can scar the kidneys, leading to a condition called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Used for CKD I think it's a good idea to add with your cranberry.

Cranberry drinkers.. make sure you are getting cranberry juice that is not from concentrate. The only place I've been able to find it is Trader Joes and it taste like ass, but otherwise you are wasting your time.

agree, or the concentrate caps. Although the pure juice seems to work better than the caps/pills for me.
