Supplements and herbals: bring the bottles

Read along

Here is every word Neff says in the video.

1. Hi, I'm Neff! Let's talk about vitamins, herbs, and supplements. Do you take any? Then this one's for you.
2. They come as pills, powders, teas, and drinks. You can buy them in lots of stores, and online.
3. Many are sold as natural. But natural does not always mean safe.
4. With kidney disease, some can harm your kidneys. Some can also mix badly with your other pills.
5. Some leave your body through your kidneys. So with kidney disease, they can build up. That's true for some vitamins, too.
6. See a tea or a pill that says kidney detox or kidney cleanse? Skip it. There's little proof they work. And some can hurt your kidneys.
7. Here's an easy habit. Bring all your bottles to every visit. That means vitamins, herbs, and pills from the store. A picture of the label works, too.
8. Thinking about something new? Ask us first. And don't start or stop a vitamin on your own.
9. We're here to help. Bring your questions to every visit. Let's take care of your kidneys together!
