I am diabetic and have creatine and frequent urination problem. Is it safe to take gokshura to improve kidney function? And please advice dosage. Thank you.

Question

Gokshura is an herbal preparation. It is recommended for men's wellness. Gokshura improves sexual desire and drive, which subsequently improves sexual performance. Moreover, it improves energy levels and builds muscle strength. May help to increase endogenous testosterone level. I am not able to find any clinical data that how it will improve kidney function. I will advice to contact a diabetologist for appropriate medications to control your blood sugar. Maintaining blood sugar in normal range is key to maintain good kidney function.

No it is not safe to consume any ayurvedic preparations it will harm your kidney function more make sure you have a good diabetes and bp control to prevent further damage of your kidney check your urine for any bacteria if there please refer a nephrologist and get a proper antibiotic treatment which will itself improve creatinine if you have any.
