Renal Plus by Biotics

Renal Plus provides botanical, glandular and nutritional support for optimal renal function.

Renal PlusTM provides optimal nutritional support for the urological system,
including specific vitamins, minerals, and neonatal glandulars, in a unique
botanical blend.

Uva ursi, (Arctostaphylos uva ursi) - supplies a source of arbutin,
flavonoids, such as ellagic acid, Quercetin, an essential oil, and phenolic
glycosides. Uva ursi has been shown to decrease the cell surface adhesion of
microbes on host cells, thus may influence the virulent properties of bacteria.
Buchu leaf, (Agathosma betulina) - is a source of diospheonol and
terpenoids, including limonene, dipentene and menthone, together with
diosmin and other flavonoid glycosides.

Echinacea, (Echinacea angustifolia) - is a source of inulin and other
polysaccharides, which have been shown to support T-cell activation and
reproduction. Recent scientific evidence has indicated that Echinacea has
immunostimulant (or immunomodulatory) properties. Additionally, the study
concluded that regular intake of Echinacea may be beneficial/prophylactic, as
evidenced by elevated NK cells, which are prime elements in immunosurveillance.

Cranberry, - a source of mannose, is believed to inhibit bacterial adherence
to the lining of the bladder and urethra. Cranberry also has been shown to
have antilithogenic properties, as concluded in a study, which indicated that
the ingestion of cranberry juice significantly and uniquely altered three key
urinary risk factors. (BJU Int. 2003 Nov;92 (7):765-8.)

Nutritional Support for Renal Function

The kidneys, which are regulated by means of hormonal control, function to filter the
blood and eliminate (excrete) metabolic waste products, including excess water,
electrolytes and sodium, via the urine. They are also responsible for the excretion of
many drug metabolites.
The three key hormones produced by the kidneys are calcitriol, erythropoeitin and renin. Calcitriol, 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol,
the active form of Vitamin D, serves to regulate the absorption of calcium and phosphate, thus promoting the
formation of strong bones. Erythropoietin (EPO) stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, while renin
serves to regulate blood volume, thus playing an important role in the regulation of blood pressure. Additionally, the
production of aldosterone by the adrenal glands is principally modulated by the renin-angiotensin system along with
serum potassium. Experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated the importance of the renin-angiotensin system
(RAS) and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, as well as the prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD).
