Thank you for that link Cassandra. I have just discovered this on my recent travels as well. There was a previous human CKD trial in Mexico from what I understand that saw some benefits (though it did not increase the eGFR nor decrease proteinuria).

What I find exciting about this is just the pure research of a botanical for a change. For too long kidney patients are just issued with a blanket statement that all herbal medicine should be strictly avoided because they have not been studied. Well here is one clinical trial that will find out more about one herb that will be scientifically credible and valid.
