DuraLife Kidney support Formula is supplied in single dose tablets for oral administration. 15 tablets are packed in a blister and 4 blisters are packaged in one box with a leaflet.

Indications

DuraLife Kidney support Formula is designed to provide everything the kidneys may need to function at their best. Over-the-counter supplements may contain large doses of specific minerals and vitamins, which could be toxic for CKD patients. Also, water-soluble vitamins are removed from the blood during the dialysis process, leaving the CKD population more vulnerable for a deficiency, therefore, CKD patients on dialysis are encouraged to take a daily DuraLife kidney Support Formula.
