Nephrotec®

Nephrotec® Astragalus Kidney Support Supplement

Each capsule contains Astragalus membranaceus Root Extract 300mg (containing Astragaloside IV).

Phytochemistry

Active components include flavonoids, polysaccharides, triterpene glycosides (Astragaloside I–VII), saponins and amino acids.

Scientific Studies

Astragalus root extract improved renal function — serum creatinine decreased from 244±51 to 162±63 mmol/L; creatinine clearance increased from 37.8±6.2 to 53.4±5.3 ml/min. Shown to be as effective as ACEI captopril in improving renal function in chronic renal failure patients.

Clinical trials in China showed Astragalus reduced proteinuria from 2328±3157 to 1017±765 mg/day in chronic glomerulonephritis patients. Also ameliorated nephrotic syndrome-related dyslipidemia, improved water and sodium retention, and promoted recovery from renal ischemia reperfusion injury.
