I also read scientific articles and take from them what I can. It’s excessive amounts of anything you ingest that can cause damage to kidneys and any other organ in your body. In this case, the worse things for kidneys are also excessive amount of painkillers like ibuprofen, excessive salt, not drinking enough water, eating too many foods high in sugar and processed foods, excessive alcohol etc. This is why I consider food as my medicine but do take certain supplements for osteoporosis, for my eyes, and in this case, for my ears.

I would consider one’s lifestyle and diet in conjunction with taking any amount of supplements . Unfortunately a lot of people willingly swallow a plethora of vitamins for a magic fix or cure. I don’t do that. One can and should only make educated decisions as best as they are able. As to how much of a certain supplement to take….there are usually no definitive answers and we all know these supplements are not FDA regulated. If Dr Goggle says toxicity levels between 500mg and 3000 mg daily seem to be safe but the other Dr Goggle says 5000 mg daily is tolerated…..what do you do? Make an guess of somewhere in the middle? Your Doctor doesn’t know and reading a scientific abstract doesn’t always give definitive answers either. Although I do like to read and try to understand them.

Anyway, thanks for the article which I may have read but don’t really remember. I know we all look out for each other on this forum.
