Happy Thanksgiving guys.
I have a thought today. And that thought is relating to those of us who supplement a LOT and it's effect on Kidneys and BUN score.
I was speaking to a Pharmacist yesterday (yes I said the devil word) and I talked about supplementation and waste products. He made a very good point when I told him my BUN score was around 19-20 (I think the standard range at the lab I go to is <21) the last two times I had it measured. He said long term supplementation, for the effects I am using it for, could also work against those effects by causing the Kidney and Liver to over-work.
Has anyone ever considered this with long term supplementation? And if you have, have you added to your regimen ANY supplements that can counteract that potentiality? It's concerning because if long term supplementation can cause Kidney or liver damage, once one organ goes the other's soon follow! Not saying that's going to happen or that there are not other reasons the BUN score is closer to the < mark such as muscle regeneration from working out, but it's still a conversation worth having.
Thanks.
