Liver & Kidney: questions
Can a detox or herbal supplement support my liver?
No product has been proven to "cleanse" the liver. Some herbal supplements are linked to liver injury, so avoid unregulated products and tell your doctor about anything you take.
How much water should I drink for kidney health?
Needs vary with body size, climate, activity and health. Pale-yellow urine is a rough guide for most healthy adults. People with kidney, heart or liver disease may have fluid limits set by their care team.
Who should be careful with popular remedies here?
Anyone with existing liver or kidney disease, who takes regular medication, or has a strong family history should check with a clinician first. Many herbs and high-dose supplements can strain these organs or interact with drugs.
Is this medical advice?
No. These are remedies and routines that people report using, with context on where they come from and how much research exists. They are not a recommendation, and they are not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
How is this list ordered?

How does a remedy get listed?
