Kidneys are something few think about until the two small organs force themselves into our consciousness by having something afflict them. Maintaining kidney health should be a mainstay of our natural health practices as detoxing the liver or keeping the bowels flowing and colonized with good bacteria. But unfortunately few give the kidneys little thought.

There are kidney “dextoing” products on the market but those are either misnamed kidney support products or outright rip offs as the kidneys don’t store anything, even toxins. The liver and the body fat are the organs of toxin storage.

The kidneys need to be free flowing, free or low on scar tissue build up and free or low on kidney stone build up. The kidneys want to be kept at just the right level of hydration. Too little water and the filtering fingers of the insides of the kidneys, the Glomeruli, dry up and scar over with fibrosis. Too much water and the kidneys distend which also cause scaring. Too high a protein intake will cause the excess protein not used by the body to be eliminated through the kidneys and that causes two things; an increased ammonia load that becomes caustic and scar tissue formation. Also the excess protein combines with calcium and sugar to form kidney stones.

Let’s touch on the ammonia issue. Urine is ammonia based; anyone who’s been around livestock has smelled the stench of ammonia in cow and horse urine. It’s no different for humans. Problem is that ammonia is 9.7 pH, highly alkaline. Now before you tell me that its good for the body to be alkaline let’s point out the physiological fact that while most of the body want’s to be alkaline at 7+ph because it’s supposed to be seawater inside of us from our tears to our blood to our internal body fluid, the stomach and the kidneys are supposed to be acidic. They are the only two organs in the body that were designed to be acidic and suffer from not being so.

This is where we get to the first of the positive effects of the Crandiazyme. Of all the cranberry based supplements Crandiazyme has the strongest cranberry content as the 36 to 1 concentration of cranberries far and away out strips the strength found in weaker cranberry extracts or just straight cranberry powder. Also, the best functioning cranberry product we’ve found so far contained only 5 mg of actual cranberry extract. While the Crandiazyme formula is a trade secret it does contain several hundred milligrams of the 36 to 1 cranberry extract per capsule.

Cranberry prevents bacteria from attaching to the renal system in several ways:

· It changes the fimbriae, the tiny arms bad bacteria use to cling onto a surface, so that they don’t work. (1,2).

· Further, other chemical properties of cranberries keep the bacteria that don’t have fimbriae from attaching on to surfaces of the urinary tract. (3).

Next we get to the problems of kidney stones, inflammation and scar tissue. Natural medicine has been working to dissolve renal calculi with magnesium for decades and that works to a point. (4). Magnesium bonds, (chelates), onto the calcium of the stone and flushes the calcium out a bit at a time reducing the size stones over time. The speed of the reduction is governed by the amount of magnesium taken and the amount of fluid passing through the kidney. While magnesium is not part of Crandiazyme due to restrictions in the amount of magnesium needed to have the chelating effect and the size of the Crandiazyme capsule, use of a separate strong magnesium supplement will work for this effect.

Systemic enzymes have also been used to both reduce kidney inflammation with out the kidney damage that the anti inflammatory NSAID drugs do cause. The protein lysing enzymes will also lyse away at the fibrosis / scar tissue that grows impeding the function of the glomeruli in filtering. Serrapeptase, the superior fibrosis lysing enzyme, is part of the Crandiazyme formula. (5,6). So between the magnesium and the proteolytic enzymes what’s left to do?

Kidney deposits and formations have what are called sugar notes and these crystalized sugar formations can also be dealt with using a specific sugar lysing enzyme. (7). The study shows that the proteolytic (protein cleaving enzymes), worked better at lysing away those deposits to quote the study:

‘The combination of dextranase plus protease attenuated all components of glomerular injury as judged by clinical and pathologic parameters”. (7).

While the dextranase used in the study is super expensive, we put an affordable variant of that enzyme in the Crandiazyme.

Crandiazyme was designed to be used alone as a bladder and kidney health support supplement for its very strong cranberry content, and designed to be used in conjunction with our Zymessence and Magscorbate in addressing more serious renal issues. Used either way taking the Crandiazyme is a significant step in improving ones kidney health.
