This was performed at a hospital in Tunisia with patients in pretty bad shape. The blood numbers looked good for participants who took the powder. Please look at the study for those numbers.

The translation doesn’t always make complete sense, such as using “GFR” when it was really “eGFR,” and saying “Grape seed powder” in the title, while using “Grape seed extract” or “GSE” throughout the paper. Based on the explicit information given, it was absolutely only “grape seed powder” and “eGFR” used.

About the “grape seed powder,” the likely amount of polyphenols in that would be something less than 600 mg of grape seed extract, from what I have found elsewhere about the total content of grape seed powder, which includes fiber and protein for major components.

You can buy grape seed powder, but most would find it easier to find grape seed extract.. It could be helpful to take it as many as five times a day, like the powder was dosed, as the polyphenols are not rapidly taken up by the body, so you could consider subdividing up your capsule(s) accordingly. I believe fat may help it be absorbed, as well.

I have been taking grape seed extract each day for over 18 years. My current dosages are either 300 or 400 mg a day, depending on specific type of grape seed extract I buy. I have taken over 5,500 mg a day for five days at a time, twice, as an experiment, and this was tolerable when I incrementally took it through the day, but definitely not all at once, which I did one time only. I am not suggesting anyone else do such a thing, though! I only offer this as insight into its apparent safety for me, when I was younger. For anyone with a kidney or other health issues, please talk with your doctor when taking any new supplements, as some can cause issues with medicines (or even other supplements).

I’m sure it depends on the cause. In my case, with my glomeruli reduced to scar tissue, this would absolutely do nothing for me.

I wish I had known of this possible treatment some years ago when my Dad was still alive. Renal Failure was one of the things that did him in. However, his doctors were typical American Doctors. They have likely never been taught to use this method of treatment. They would have politely told me to leave to them the actual professionals.

Thanks for posting. I just had a blood test and my GFR was down. Has me worried. I’ll give this a try.

That’s nice, but you will do even better with niacin and sodium bicarbonate https://orthomolecular.activehosted.com/index.php?action=social&chash=e2c0be24560d78c5e599c2a9c9d0bbd2.207&s=77f52ed726743110a305ac91e563254c

What brand exactly do you take, and where can I get it, please? I’m Stage 2 Mild, and want to allay this as long as I can. Thanks for the post.

Resveratrol is what I take daily. It helps control urine flow.

I had a gut issue a decade or more ago. Ended up using Black Currant Seed oil for about 9 months and it cleared it right up.
