## What is KidneySafe Check?

KidneySafe Check helps you find out if a supplement, herbal product, cosmetic, food, or medicine could harm your kidneys.

Kidney transplant patients checking for interactions with anti-rejection medicines
Pharmacists screening supplements for kidney patients

Vitamins and minerals
Food and drinks, including grapefruit and other transplant interactions
Detox and weight loss products
Sports and fitness supplements
