Renadyl

How does Renadyl work?

Renadyl is a patented and proprietary probiotic health supplement that helps your body clean compounds. As kidney function declines, nitrogenous wastes can build up in the body, making it harder for the kidneys to work well. The probiotics in Renadyl work in the gut to consume nitrogenous wastes that are converted into useful compounds like short-chain fatty acids or removed from the body during normal bowel movements. Over time, the probiotics in Renadyl will consume more nitrogenous wastes, reducing the amount in the body and the burden on the kidneys.

Renadyl is manufactured adhering to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). cGMP regulations are enforced by the FDA. cGMPs provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. Adherence to the cGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of products by requiring that manufacturers adequately control manufacturing operations. Please consult your doctor/healthcare professional prior to taking this product or any other dietary supplement product on the market.

Renadyl is made in the U.S.A. with some ingredients that originate overseas. We have strict quality controls throughout the production process and maintain strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the production of each capsule.

The only side effects experienced by patients in safety trials was minor bloating that disappeared in about a week while they continued taking the supplement. Generally, side effects of probiotics are mild, and may include symptoms such as gas and bloating. Side effects of prebiotics are slightly more common, so check with a medical professional if you notice an unfamiliar prebiotic ingredient.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements under a different set of regulations than those covering “conventional” foods and drug products (prescription and over-the-counter). Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), the dietary supplement manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement is safe before it is marketed. Manufacturers must also ensure that the product label information is truthful and not misleading. The FDA is responsible for taking action against any unsafe dietary supplement product after it reaches the market.

Generally, manufacturers do not need to register their products with the FDA or get FDA approved before producing or selling dietary supplements. The probiotic strains used in our proprietary, patented formulation are considered to be safe under the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) classification by the FDA.

Renadyl is available without a prescription and is readily available online at shop.kibow.com, on Amazon, or over the phone through Kibow Biotech’s toll free number (1) 888-271-2560. Renadyl is not available over-the-counter (OTC) in stores.

The probiotics found in Renadyl demonstrate a strong affinity for many of the nitrogenous wastes and compounds that accumulate in the blood in the event of kidney failure. These include urea, uric acid, creatinine, indoles and phenols, and nitrosamines and their precursors.

Clinical studies have shown that the 3 strains of probiotics in Renadyl have a high affinity for creatinine, urea, and uremic acids. These 3 strains are specially selected and will metabolize the nitrogenous waste and uremic compounds in the body. They are also delivered in gastric acid-resistant capsules, which means that they are unaffected by stomach acids that can kill probiotics on their way through the gastrointestinal tract, thus improving efficiency.

No, Renadyl is non-GMO and uses naturally occurring, specially selected probiotics that have a high affinity for the compounds that build up in the blood due to impaired or damaged kidneys.

In the early stages of CKD, the symptoms may be subtle and difficult to identify. However, later CKD stages can cause fatigue, itching, loss of appetite, and other symptoms that can reduce your quality of life—if you take no action. Learn what to watch for and keep your doctor informed so that you can get the help you need to relieve CKD symptoms. It is also important to follow your treatment plan. For example, taking the right doses of your medications at the right times may help slow the progression of CKD. Your quality of life with CKD depends on your attitude and whether you are able to adapt to and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Remember, CKD treatment is possible.

Probiotic use should not interfere with the efficacy of antibiotics. Probiotic supplements should be taken 4 hours after the antibiotics.

Renadyl is not meant to replace dialysis or any other medications prescribed by a physician. Renadyl is not a drug, medicine, or device. It works in conjunction with other treatments to maintain healthy kidney function.

Acid-resistant capsules protect microbes from digestive acids in the stomach. The acid resistance of Renadyl capsules allows “good” bacteria (probiotics) to reach the intestines where they can flourish and provide their benefits.

Renadyl should be stored in your refrigerator to maintain maximum effectiveness. Renadyl is fully stable without refrigeration for at least 2 weeks during transport without the need for cold shipping. But upon receiving, please store Renadyl in your refrigerator between 39-45 degrees Fahrenheit (4-8 degrees Celsius). Do not freeze.

Renadyl is available without a prescription and is readily available online at shop.kibow.com, on Amazon, or over the phone through Kibow Biotech’s toll free number 1.888.271.2560.

Yes, we can (and do) ship overseas. Since there are different regulations and customs and duties, we need to handle this on a country-specific basis. Please place your order online and, if we know of any additional charges that will be required, we will advise you by email.

Renadyl is not intended for use by pets. Kibow Biotech recommends nephrodyl, specifically for supporting renal function in cats and dogs.

Renadyl is an elite formulation of proprietary strains of probiotic microorganisms. These beneficial microbes (probiotics) target and metabolize uremic nitrogenous waste in the large intestine as nutrients for growth, and in doing so, indirectly remove those wastes from the blood to be eliminated from the body as fecal matter. As these probiotics metabolize nitrogenous waste, they begin to multiply and increase in concentration, allowing for even greater diffusion of uremic nitrogenous wastes into the bowel. This can help to maintain healthy kidney function by reducing the amount of waste compounds that enter the kidneys.

This process relies heavily on the survivability of the beneficial microbes in Renadyl. Probiotics need functional PREbiotic fibers to stay alive and thrive. When probiotics are paired together with prebiotics, their relationship is synergistic, and the combination is known as a synbiotic. Synbiotic formulas maximize the efficiency of beneficial microbes as they promote the growth of probiotics.

The pairing of Renadyl and Fortis is a particularly advantageous synbiotic formula. The reason for this is that Fortis (a multifiber prebiotic dietary supplement) contains two fibers (xylooligosaccharide and arabinogalactan) that have been scientifically proven to promote the growth of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium. This is significant for Renadyl users because Renadyl contains probiotic ingredients from each order: Lactobacillus acidophilis, and Bifidobacterium longum.

The secret to these two ingredients’ prebiotic abilities is in the Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) that they are fermented into. Probiotic bacteria in the colon are able to utilize these fiber products and metabolize them, and the byproduct of this metabolization are SCFAs. These SCFAs are then utilized by the body to enhance blood flow, lower colonic pH, provide energy for colonocytes (colonic membrane cells), inhibit cholesterol synthesis, and regulate the immune system.

The lactogenic (ability to promote the growth of lactobacilli) and bifidogenic (ability to promote the growth of bifidobacterium) properties of Kibow Fortis are only a part of what make the product so great, but it is especially advantageous for Renadyl users for this synergistic potential. Kibow Fortis essentially maximizes the efficiency of Renadyl.

Probiotics

Are bacteria good or bad?

There is an amazing amount of bacterial cells associated with the human body. Most are not harmful, and many contribute to normal human growth and development. It is believed that good gut bacteria make up about 70% to 80% of the body’s total immune system.

However, some bad bacteria in the gut can have a negative influence and cause various bacterial diseases. That is why it’s important that the balance of microbes be maintained to favor the beneficial bacteria over the potentially harmful ones. The ratio of beneficial to potentially harmful bacteria in the gut should be 80/20. Probiotics help maintain a proper balance of good bacteria and bad bacteria in the body.

Probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the human body. Certain probiotics have shown to have an impact on maintaining kidney function in people with impaired or damaged kidneys. The 3 types of bacteria have been specially selected for use in Renadyl: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium longum.

Probiotics take on some of the blood-cleansing functions that impaired or damaged kidneys are unable to perform. These probiotic organisms ease the burden on ailing kidneys and help reduce some of the serious side effects of waste compound buildup.

Many strains of probiotics are found in probiotics yogurt. However, the pasteurization process involved in making yogurt kills all natural organisms, making the presence of probiotics unpredictable. Most manufacturers add the good bacteria back into their products after pasteurization, with varying effectiveness.

Many yogurts only contain about 10 billion colony-forming units (CFU) of good bacteria. Probiotic supplements are standardized. Renadyl is guaranteed to contain a very high level (45 billion CFU) of the 3 bacteria that promote kidney health in each serving up until the expiration date.

Thanks for asking! We’re very proud of our probiotic strains: Streptococcus thermophilus (KB19), Lactobacillus acidophilus (KB27), Bifidobacterium longum (KB31).

Prebiotics are naturally occurring fiber materials that may be digested by probiotics to help them grow. Renadyl contains prebiotics, which is a Psyllium Husk (a naturally occurring plant material).

Synbiotics are supplements that contain both prebiotics and probiotics. The majority of probiotics on the market today, including Renadyl, are considered “synbiotic.” The main reason for using a synbiotic is that a true probiotic, without its prebiotic food, does not survive well in the digestive system.
