A restricted phosphorus intake is essential to slow down the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism which contributes to progression of the renal failure
Supplementation in long chain omega-3 fatty acids (esp. EPA-DHA) helps lower glomerular pressure and slow progressive decline in GFR
The synergistic antioxidant complex (vitamin E, vitamin C, taurine, lutein) helps maintain healthy DNA, promotes health of the immune system and neutralises free radicals, the negative effects of which increase with age
Increased uraemia may induce the formation of gastric and intestinal mucosal ulcers. The combination of zeolite and FOS minimises this risk
