Clinicians Renal Vitamin 30 Capsules – Kidney Support for CKD & Dialysis

Clinicians Renal Vitamin is a specialised vitamin and mineral supplement formulated to support individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or those on dialysis. People with reduced kidney function have specific nutritional needs — dialysis removes water-soluble vitamins, and dietary restrictions can lead to deficiencies that a standard multivitamin cannot address appropriately.

Clinicians Renal Vitamin provides a carefully balanced blend of vitamins that are safe and beneficial for renal patients, avoiding excess amounts of nutrients that can accumulate to harmful levels in those with impaired kidney function. PHARMAC funded for eligible Stage 5 CKD patients on peritoneal or haemodialysis. Available from Pakuranga Pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why can't people with kidney disease take a standard multivitamin?

A: Standard multivitamins often contain nutrients such as vitamin A, potassium and magnesium at levels that can accumulate to harmful concentrations in people with reduced kidney function. Clinicians Renal Vitamin is specifically formulated to provide beneficial nutrients while avoiding those that pose a risk in CKD, making it safe for daily use under appropriate supervision.

Q: Is Clinicians Renal Vitamin funded by PHARMAC in NZ?

A: Yes — Clinicians Renal Vitamin is PHARMAC funded for Stage 5 CKD patients who are on peritoneal dialysis or haemodialysis. A prescription from your nephrologist or kidney specialist is required to access the funded supply. Ask our pharmacist about eligibility requirements.

Q: Can I take Clinicians Renal Vitamin if I have early-stage CKD?

A: Clinicians Renal Vitamin is primarily designed for Stage 5 CKD (dialysis) patients. If you have early-stage CKD (Stages 1–4), consult your nephrologist or dietitian before starting any supplement, as nutritional requirements vary significantly across CKD stages.

Q: How should I take Clinicians Renal Vitamin?

A: The recommended dose is one capsule daily, taken after a meal or dialysis session. Always follow your nephrologist's or dietitian's specific recommendations, as individual nutritional needs for renal patients can vary. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice.
