Hi, I'm Neff! Let's talk about vitamins,
herbs, and supplements. Do you take any?

2
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:08.781
Then this one's for you.

3
00:00:09.416 --> 00:00:12.180
They come as pills,
powders, teas, and drinks.

4
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.279
You can buy them in lots
of stores, and online.

5
00:00:15.882 --> 00:00:20.455
Many are sold as natural.
But natural does not always mean safe.

6
00:00:21.013 --> 00:00:23.440
With kidney disease,
some can harm your kidneys.

7
00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:26.423
Some can also mix badly
with your other pills.

8
00:00:27.038 --> 00:00:31.880
Some leave your body through your kidneys.
So with kidney disease, they can build up.

9
00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:34.226
That's true for some vitamins, too.

10
00:00:34.772 --> 00:00:39.560
See a tea or a pill that says kidney
detox or kidney cleanse? Skip it.

11
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.352
There's little proof they work.
And some can hurt your kidneys.

12
00:00:43.987 --> 00:00:47.220
Here's an easy habit.
Bring all your bottles to every visit.

13
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.220
That means vitamins, herbs,
and pills from the store.

14
00:00:50.580 --> 00:00:52.600
A picture of the label works, too.

15
00:00:53.146 --> 00:00:55.600
Thinking about something
new? Ask us first.

16
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:58.324
And don't start or stop
a vitamin on your own.

17
00:00:58.974 --> 00:01:01.900
We're here to help.
Bring your questions to every visit.

18
00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:03.893
Let's take care of your kidneys together!
