Kidney FAQ:

Why did you switch from powdered NEPHROGEN to a capsule product with KIDNEY and what are the main differences?

Powdered products present numerous challenges. Not everyone wants to slug down another drink in their routine.

Drink mixes also require flavoring, and releasing flavors of a product with ingredients that generally taste horrible is quite the challenge, not to mention appeasing the unique flavor preferences of customers.

The primary differences are that we used more concentrated extracts as opposed to bulk botanicals. This gave us the ability to not only switch to a capsule product, but also increase the effectiveness of the formula as well.
