Tiny study tests supplement to wake up 'dead' kidneys
NCT ID NCT07555327
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested an oral supplement made from generally recognized as safe (GRAS) ingredients in 8 people with end-stage kidney disease. Two participants had not produced urine for 16 and 22 years. The goal was to see if the supplement could restore even a small amount of urine output and improve kidney markers. Because the study is very small and observational, the results are not conclusive.
