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.
