When you want to help protect
healthy renal tissue

The importance of early intervention

Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressively deteriorating, multi-factorial condition that may involve one or more of the following: hypertension, azotemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypokalemia, and proteinuria. All of which can cause a cascade of inflammatory processes while contributing to scar tissue formation or fibrosis. Interventions at an early stage to minimize the negative consequences of fibrosis are one of the key strategies in managing progressive renal disease.

A critical support system

Rubenal® supports normal renal health that can be damaged by the cellular and enzymatic events occurring in renal injury (through acute insult or persistent inflammation) and the subsequent healing response. This cascade of events can lead to fibrosis and related loss of glomerular filtration.

The secret is Rheum officinale

Rubenal® is a highly palatable formulation of Rheum officinale (a medicinal rhubarb) which has been documented in tests with a variety of species to help protect healthy renal tissue. The main compounds found in Rheum officinale include anthraquinone glycosides (rhein, emodin and aloe-emodin), beneficial tannins and stilbene derivatives which have been used effectively in eastern medicine for more than four thousand years.
