Cat's Claw supplement and renal cortical calcification.

Messages

Hi,

Just researching for a friend who wants to take Cat's claw as a supplement but is worried if it will cause an issue since a recent scan indicated "The right kidney measures 95 mm in bipola length. It contains a 5 x 6 mm cortical calcification was noted in the lower pole".

I've read that people with kidney disease should avoid the supplment, but was wondering about some calcification.

Has anyone had an experence of this scenario?

Thanks in advanced.

Richard
