Standard Process Arginex®- Side Effects, Ingredients & Review

By Dr. Candy Akers

Arginex® developed by Standard Process and Dr. Royal Lee includes an enzyme that can be helpful in some disease conditions. The enzyme can help remove proteins that build up in the kidneys. This can improve kidney function acting as a simple "detox" for the important organ.  

Research studies are ongoing to look at arginase in roles with urinary tract infections, infertility, heart attack recovery, nerve pain, tooth sensitivity, and oral health. 

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

I have been consuming Arginex and AC Carbamide to support my kidney function when dealing with Gout. Why do I know it works? Because when I stopped consuming them last year, I got my Gout attack back.

I was over the line with Stage 4 Kidney failure when I was recommended this product by a son-in-law who is a Med-Tech. After 2 months I retested and was back to Stage 3! Thank God something natural worked!

I am pleased with both the Renafood and the Arginex . Both are being used in conjunction with each other for my kidney problem that was caused by a drug. Thanks for something natural that may stave off going on Dialysis.
