Herbal products: Hi. Herbal products are for the "worried well", healthy people who obsess about their health. For them, herbals are fine as long as they do no harm. You, on the other hand, have real disease. Since you're taking insulin, I assume your CKD is diabetic nephropathy. Control your diabetes and blood pressure aggressively. Take real medicine for real disease. Good luck!
