KIDNEY BLADDER FORMULA
This is a tried and true formula to strengthen the
kidneys. I have inherently weak
kidneys. There were two signs that were
telling me that my kidneys were not functioning to their optimal level. 1st-by blood tests: the Glom filt level was
at 54 then 62 ( it should be in the 80s or 90s). 2nd-my back was hurting. When I started on this formula, my back pain
improved by 85% within the first week.
