3 Vitamins to Consider for Kidney Health — An Educational Overview

This article provides a neutral overview of three vitamins that are commonly discussed in relation to kidney health. The research and clinical context can be complex, and individual needs vary. Use this information as a starting point for conversations with your healthcare provider.

1. Vitamin D

Vitamin D plays a role in overall bone and metabolic health and is often evaluated in routine blood tests. Some studies examine how vitamin D levels relate to kidney-related measures, but findings vary.

• What it does: Helps the body regulate calcium and supports general metabolic functions.
• Considerations: Vitamin D status can differ between individuals. If you are concerned about your levels, a healthcare provider can check blood levels and recommend an appropriate approach.
• How to discuss with your provider: Ask whether a blood test for vitamin D is appropriate and whether supplementation or dietary changes are suitable for you.

2. B Vitamins (example: B6)

B vitamins are involved in energy metabolism and other bodily processes. Certain B vitamins are commonly included in discussions about general nutritional support.

• What it does: Supports metabolic pathways and overall nutritional balance.
• Considerations: Needs for B vitamins vary based on diet, health status, and medications. A clinician can advise on testing and appropriate dosing.
• How to discuss with your provider: Share your diet, medications, and lab results so your clinician can recommend whether supplementation is necessary.

3. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant and an essential nutrient. It is frequently part of conversations about general wellness and nutritional status.

• What it does: Supports immune function and overall nutrition when consumed within recommended ranges.
• Considerations: High-dose vitamin C is not suitable for everyone; discuss appropriate amounts with a healthcare professional.
• How to discuss with your provider: Ask about recommended intake levels based on your health profile and any lab results.
