What can i do to help my kidneys process the huge amount of supplements i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why take them??: No known benefit for supplements. The huge amounts of supplements may actually cause side effects without benefits to justify them. The only way for kidneys to handle the situation is to actually not take the supplements.
