Diabetic nephropathy
Supplements studied for diabetic nephropathy.
Overview
Evidence for supplements in diabetic nephropathy is limited across seven entries, all with low trust. Alpha-Lipoic Acid (DEX Score 52; low effect size, high evidence, medium trust) may lower urine protein when combined with type-2-diabetes medications in short trials, but long-term kidney effects are unknown.
Melatonin, Milk Thistle, and Resveratrol each have single small studies with mixed or non-significant kidney markers. Nattokinase has insufficient evidence per the summaries. No supplement here shows established benefit for diabetic kidney disease. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for all seven supplements.
