I’ve researched krill oil and astragalus supplements for CKD. Has anyone had experience with taking either of these? Thanks!

@8801 Unless you are low in selenium, I would avoid the astragalus. A Brazil nut would fill the minimum. Depending on the source and plant species, there is the potential of having high levels of some heavy metals. When I was a geologist, we used astragalus princeoni for a marker for uranium (they precipitated under similar conditions). https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-963/astragalus I prefer flaxseed oil for Omega 3. Whales have enough problems without us snarfing down their krill.
