Personalized ingredient prescription for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Our goal is to help you slow — or even stop — disease progression through food and live a longer, healthier life. MetaSano is a food-as-medicine platform designed for people living with stage 3 and 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Our system transforms your lab results and clinical data into personalized ingredient prescriptions — showing exactly which foods help protect your kidneys and which ones to avoid. When it comes to CKD, there’s no universal diet. Every person’s kidneys, lab results, and medications are different — that’s why generic “kidney diet lists” don’t work.You can track changes in eGFR slope, and adjust ingredient-based recommendations as the disease evolves. What You Can Do with MetaSano Get Ingredient Prescriptions – Receive specific ingredient suggestions tailored to your CKD stage, labs, and medications — not just meals, but the building blocks of your nutrition. Track Your eGFR Slope – Visualize how your kidney function changes over time and how your nutrition impacts your eGFR trend. AI-Powered Meal Logging – Snap a photo of your meal, and MetaSano identifies ingredients and tracks key nutrients like protein, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and more. Kidney-Friendly Feedback – Instantly see if your meal supports your kidney health and get recommendations to improve adherence. Monitor Adherence Over Time – Follow your progress and stay consistent with your personalized nutrition plan. Built by People with CKD – Created by someone living with kidney disease, MetaSano is shaped by patients, nephrologists, and nutritionists who understand the journey. Why MetaSano Works - Provides ingredient-level precision for personalized CKD nutrition. - Integrates lab data and medication into dietary guidance. - Tracks eGFR slope to monitor long-term kidney health. - Based on the latest clinical research in kidney nutrition. - Turns food into medicine, empowering you to slow disease progression. MetaSano helps you transform your meals into measurable kidney care. Try it free for 7 days — then keep your personalized plan for less than 10¢ a day. Disclaimer: MetaSano provides science-based insights and guidance but is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider before making significant dietary or treatment changes. MetaSano complements, not replaces, the relationship between you and your medical team.
