I am following your 8-Week Program very carefully and feel wonderful. However, I recently lost a kidney and am wondering whether taking supplements could be harmful.
Many people live normal, healthy lives with only one kidney.
In fact, one out of every 750 babies is born with a single kidney. This is more common among males than females. The missing kidney is usually the left one. The kidneys help remove wastes and excess fluid from the body, filter the blood, manufacture vitamins that control growth, and release hormones that help regulate blood pressure. In addition, the kidneys themselves help regulate blood pressure, red blood cells, and the amount of calcium, potassium, and other nutrients in the body.
