Understanding BUN Levels
and How Renadyl® Helps

What is BUN?

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) measures the amount of urea in your blood, a waste product formed when your body breaks down protein. Healthy kidneys filter urea efficiently, so your BUN level is a key indicator of kidney function.

Understanding High and Low BUN Levels

Talk to your doctor if your BUN levels are outside the normal range. Levels can rise temporarily from dehydration, a high-protein diet, certain medications, or other factors, and may return to normal once the cause is addressed.

Consistently high BUN levels, however, can indicate that your kidneys are under stress or not filtering waste efficiently. Low BUN levels can sometimes point to malnutrition, liver issues, or overhydration.

Typical reference range:

7–20 mg/dL (may vary by lab)

The Gut–Kidney Connection: How Your Gut Influences BUN

The gut and kidneys constantly work together to manage nitrogen waste, and this relationship plays a major role in your BUN levels.

  • Your gut helps regulate how much urea is produced and reabsorbed during digestion.
  • When the gut is functioning well, more urea is broken down or used before it can return to the bloodstream.
  • When gut health is weakened or dysbiosis occurs, urea breakdown can be impaired, allowing more urea to recirculate and raise BUN levels.

The good news? Renadyl supports this natural partnership by helping the gut reduce excess nitrogen waste, easing the load on the kidneys, and supporting healthier BUN levels.

Renadyl Supports Healthy BUN Levels

Renadyl is a clinically studied probiotic designed to help maintain healthy kidney function. Its proprietary strains —Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium longum— were selected for their ability to metabolize urea and other nitrogenous waste before they burden your kidneys.

Here’s How Renadyl Helps:

  1. Consumes Urea in the Gut Renadyl’s bacterial strains metabolize urea directly in the intestines. This process reduces how much urea circulates in the bloodstream, which helps lower BUN levels naturally. It also helps ease the kidneys’ filtration workload and support overall metabolic balance.
  2. Reduces Nitrogen Waste That Can Push BUN Higher Renadyl helps break down nitrogen-rich waste before it reaches the kidneys. With fewer waste products circulating, the kidneys can manage BUN more efficiently.
  3. Helps Reduce Toxins Linked to BUN Renadyl also helps limit other gut-derived toxins that can irritate the body and contribute to higher BUN levels. By reducing these additional toxins, it supports more stable kidney function.

Support Healthy BUN Levels Naturally

Talk to your doctor about taking one Renadyl capsule twice a day consistently for at least six months. Combine with good hydration and a kidney-friendly diet for best results.

FAQs About BUN and Renadyl

Can probiotics lower BUN levels?

Yes. The strains in Renadyl can metabolize urea in the gut, reducing circulating BUN and easing kidney workload.

Renadyl is generally safe. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have existing medical conditions.

Benefits may be noticeable after a few weeks, but consistent use over 6 months is recommended for measurable results.

Renadyl is a supportive supplement and not a replacement for prescribed treatments. Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.
