\n

Your animal has been diagnosed with kidney failure.<\/strong> This bundle has been developed as a supplement to your vet’s treatment. We explain what happens in your animal’s body, what your vet probably hasn’t told you yet, and what we recommend in addition to regular care. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What your vet told you, and what else is going on<\/h2>\n

Your vet has shown blood values, perhaps recommended a kidney scale diet, and may have prescribed medication. That is right and necessary. But in an average ten-minute consultation, there is no room to explain why<\/em> kidney disease is progressive, what mechanisms drive the decline, and what else is possible besides diet and medication. <\/p>\n

Here’s what really happens in your animal’s body, and why early supplemental support can make all the difference.<\/p>\n

\n

What your vet may not have explained<\/p>\n

\n
\u2192<\/span>Creatinine only rises when 65-75% of kidney function is lost. The disease starts years earlier. <\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span>SDMA detects kidney damage at as little as 25-40% loss of function. Ask specifically about this during checks. <\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span>The specific gravity of the urine is the earliest indicator. Lower than 1,030 in dogs and 1,035 in cats is a signal, even if blood values are still normal. <\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span>Urea only increased? That is rarely kidney disease. Protein-rich foods, dehydration, and muscle breakdown also increase urea. Always combine with creatinine and urinalysis. <\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span>Kidney disease starts largely in the intestine. Gut bacteria produce toxins that reach the kidneys through the blood and accelerate fibrosis. <\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span>Lost kidney tissue does not come back, but the process that causes fibrosis is modifiable in early stages.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nutrition for kidney disease: why we recommend it differently from the regular guideline<\/h2>\n

Chances are, your vet has recommended a kidney diet. Low in protein, low in phosphorus, often in the form of canned food or a specialized kibble. This is the standard guideline, but from an integrative medicine perspective, Stefan Veenstra DVM has a fundamentally different point of view on this, substantiated by what actually happens in the body of an animal with kidney disease. <\/p>\n

\n

Our nutritional advice for kidney disease deliberately deviates from the standard guideline<\/p>\n

\n
No dry food or kibble.<\/strong> Dry food has a moisture content of only 8-10%. The kidneys of an animal with CKD already have to work harder to produce concentrated urine. Dry food exacerbates chronic dehydration that reduces kidney blood flow and accelerates progression. In addition, specialized kidney diets are ultra-processed, enhance dysbiosis in the microbiome and increase the inflammatory load via processed ingredients. <\/div>\n
No low protein nutrition in early CKD.<\/strong> Protein restriction is not evidence-based indicated in early stages (stage 1-2) and has a serious side effect: muscle loss. Muscle mass is the largest organ for glucose uptake and a crucial buffer in chronic disease. A kidney-cachectic animal that also loses muscle mass due to low-protein food deteriorates faster, not slower. <\/div>\n
High-quality fresh meat food as a basis.<\/strong> Raw or lightly cooked fresh meat with variation in protein source, supplemented with ground vegetables for fiber and micronutrients. High moisture content, no ultra-processed ingredients, wide microbiome due to variation. This supports the gut-kidney axis that targets the bundle and gives the body the building blocks to repair. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

And what about phosphorus?<\/p>\n

Hyperphosphatemia is a real problem in advanced CKD and requires attention. But the solution is not to give poor quality food with little phosphorus. The solution is to provide high-quality nutrition with targeted phosphorus adsorption if phosphorus levels require it. Phosphoraadsorbents are given with meals and bind phosphorus in the intestine for absorption, independent of food quality. Discuss this with Stefan Veenstra DVM in a personal consultation for the right approach for your animal. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Three mechanisms that drive kidney disease<\/h2>\n

To understand why we have put together this bundle in this way, it is important to know which three processes determine the progression of kidney disease. The collection focuses on each of these three. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
1. Gut toxins<\/div>\n

Gut bacteria produce indoxyl sulfate that reaches the kidneys, activates TGF-\u03b21 and accelerates fibrosis. This starts in the intestine, not in the kidney. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
2. Fibrosis<\/div>\n

TGF-\u03b21 converts kidney cells into scar tissue. This is irreversible. Inhibition of TGF-\u03b21 in early stages is the main purpose of the beam. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
3. Mitochondrial Exhaustion<\/div>\n

The kidneys consume an enormous amount of energy. In CKD, the energy factories in kidney cells are depleted, which accelerates progression. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our advice: phased support in addition to the care of your veterinarian<\/h2>\n

The order of the phases is not random. As long as the gut continues to supply toxins that accelerate fibrosis, an anti-fibrotic supplement has less effect. Phase 1 lowers the toxin supply so that phase 2 can work optimally. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
1<\/div>\n
\n
Phase 1: Stabilize intestine and reduce toxin supply, weeks 1 to 6<\/div>\n
This is what most owners have never thought of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We don’t start with the kidney but with the intestine. Gut bacteria produce indoxyl sulfate, a toxin that reaches the kidneys through the blood, causing oxidative damage and accelerating fibrosis. Prebiotics shift the microbiome towards bacteria that produce less of this toxin. Liposomal curcumin simultaneously inhibits TGF-\u03b21 signaling that drives fibrosis. Liposomal lactoferrin binds LPS from the intestine directly and thus reduces the inflammatory load on the kidneys. <\/p>\n

\n
We advise in phase 1<\/div>\n
\n
\u2192<\/span> Prebiotics<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Enzyme Mix 2<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Liposomal Vitamin C<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Liposomal Curcumin<\/div>\n

\n
Phase 2: Inhibiting fibrosis and protecting kidney cells, weeks 6 to 14<\/div>\n
The most specific part of the bundle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Longevity Support is our core formula for kidney disease. It combines astragaloside IV, which has been proven to inhibit TGF-\u03b21 and protect the podocytes that form the filtration barrier, with NAD\u207a for mitochondrial biogenesis in renal cells, resveratrol for SIRT1 activation, and ergothioneine for mitochondrial membrane protection. Cycloastragenol in the formula is one of the few natural telomerase activators, which supports the long-term recovery capacity of tubule cells. Myco Immune Complex modulates the immune response in kidney tissue. Omega-3 protects the tiny blood vessels that oxygenate the kidney cells, with direct veterinary evidence in cats with CKD. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
3<\/div>\n
\n
Phase 3: Deepening oxidative protection, weeks 14 to 22<\/div>\n
Restoring the energy factories of kidney cells<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CoQ10 is essential for energy production in the renal tubule cells that do the most of the work. In kidney disease, CoQ10 is depleted. Liposomal glutathione restores the intracellular antioxidative capacity lost due to chronic toxin exposure. Both supplements are given in liposomal form for maximum absorption, even if the intestinal barrier is compromised. <\/p>\n

\n
We advise in phase 3<\/div>\n
\n
\u2192<\/span> Liposomal CoQ10<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Liposomal Glutathione<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n
Phase 4: Long-term maintenance<\/div>\n
Kidney disease requires continued attention<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CKD does not stop after a protocol. The mechanisms that drive progression remain active. We recommend continuing the core of the bundle as a long-term maintenance strategy, tailored to the kidney values that your veterinarian checks every three months. <\/p>\n

\n
We recommend as maintenance<\/div>\n
\n
\u2192<\/span> Longevity Support<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Omega Blend<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Prebiotics<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

What can you expect and when?<\/h2>\n

Kidney disease develops over years. Support works on the same timescale. Always focus on the kidney values that your vet checks every three months, not on immediate clinical improvement in the first weeks. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
Weeks 1-6<\/div>\n

Intestine stabilized. Reduced systemic toxin load. Your animal may be a little more alert and the stool improves. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Week 6-14<\/div>\n

Fibrosis process slowed down. Possible improvement of proteinuria at subsequent check-up. More vitality visible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Week 14-22<\/div>\n

Oxidative protection active. Kidney values stabilize at next check-up. Better appetite and fitness. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Month 6+<\/div>\n

Maintenance phase. Progression inhibited. Maintaining quality of life in addition to veterinary treatment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Check kidney values every 3 months with the treating veterinarian. In case of CKD stage 3-4 or co-medication, always schedule a personal consultation for tailor-made advice. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to specific complaints<\/h2>\n

In addition to the bundle, we recommend additional support based on the complaints your animal has. Not every animal has everything, but these are the most common complaints of kidney disease and what we use for it. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
Poor appetite and nausea<\/div>\n

Uremia causes nausea through the central nervous system. CBD oil has an antiemetic effect and stimulates appetite through the endocannabinoid system, without sedation. <\/p>\n

\u2192<\/span> CBD oil<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Increased urea and nitrogen load<\/div>\n

Chlorella in Green Detox binds urea precursors in the intestine for absorption. Gut Barrier Support reduces the bacterial production of nitrogen-containing waste products via fulvic acid. <\/p>\n

\u2192<\/span> Green Detox<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Gut Barrier Support<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Fatigue and anemia<\/div>\n

In kidney disease, B vitamins are excreted at an accelerated rate. Deficiency of B12 and folate worsens anemia and fatigue. Liposomal vitamin B complex optimally replenishes these deficiencies. <\/p>\n

\u2192<\/span> Liposomal active Vit B-Complex<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Restlessness, pain and reduced load capacity<\/div>\n

Chronically ill animals are often more restless and sensitive to stimuli. PEA and boswellia supports comfort and reduces neuroinflammation. Ashwagandha and rhodiola support stress and restlessness. <\/p>\n

\u2192<\/span> PEA complex<\/div>\n
\u2192<\/span> Adaptogen complex<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
