Check out Zhi's many benefits... 

• Vitamin E found in organic wheat germ oil is Mother Nature's longevity vitamin and far more stable and protective of cellular health than factory made forms.
• Omega-3 fatty acids defend vascular and neurological health. Our Icelandic fish oil is always kept cold and added to the recipe just before packaging and freezing.
• Colorful, antioxidant rich, high fiber, low starch ingredients support the gut microbiome, which is compromised in CKD.
• Key herbs strengthen and tone kidney function.
• Human-grade and handcrafted by us.
• 100% whole food formula promotes optimal absorption and assimilation of nutrients without the kidney-damaging side effects of synthetics like choline chloride.
• Lightly steamed proteins improve protein digestibility and bioavailability.
