Description
A syndrome linking heart, kidney, and metabolic trouble is spreading fast, and few preventive options exist. Carvalho and co-authors test a nitric oxide boosting food supplement, Flexovital, in mice given one kidney removal plus a Western diet rich in salt, sugar, and fat for twelve weeks. The mix holds plant extracts from Rhodiola and beetroot plus two amino acids.
Treated mice gained less fat, cleared glucose better, and had lower blood pressure than untreated ones. Their kidney filtering improved, with less damage to the filtering units and tubes, and kidney cell energy use rose. The authors call for human trials to check the effect.
