A member asked:

What vitamins can a renal patient (stage 4, gfr 21); can i take ensure or boost for added energy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unless you are vitamin deficient, taking a multivitamin will neither add energy nor improve your health. If you have fatigue, this may be due to renal failure and/ or anemia. Contact your physician and discuss this. Do not waste your money on unnecessary OTC vitamins.
