Swanson Kidney Essentials is a dietary supplement marketed by Swanson Health Products. It is designed to support healthy kidney function and promote urinary tract health. The supplement contains a blend of natural ingredients including cranberry extract, juniper berry, corn silk and inositol, among others. These ingredients are believed to have diuretic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help support kidney health and function. 

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) fruit extract (10:1 concentrate): Cranberry is a type of fruit that has traditionally been used to support urinary tract health. Cranberries contain compounds called proanthocyanidins, which may help prevent bacteria from adhering to the bladder and urinary tract walls, thereby reducing the risk of urinary tract infections. Cranberry extract may also have antioxidant properties, which can help protect cells from free radical damage.

Juniper cone fruit extract (Juniperus communis): Juniper is believed to have diuretic properties, which means it may help increase urine output and reduce inflammation. It has also traditionally been used to support urinary tract health and help prevent kidney stones. Juniper berry extract may also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may further support overall health and wellness.

Corn (Zea mays) silk (stigmas): Corn silk refers to the long, silky strands found on the ears of corn. It has traditionally been used as a natural diuretic, helping to increase urine output and reduce hot flashes. Corn silk may also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help support overall health and well-being.

Inositol: Inositol is a type of carbohydrate naturally found in many foods. It is involved in various biological processes in the body, including cell membrane formation, nerve function and fat metabolism. Inositol may also help support healthy liver and kidney function, as well as promote healthy hair and skin.

PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid): PABA is a type of B vitamin found in foods such as liver, whole grains and green leafy vegetables. It can help support healthy skin, hair and liver function, as well as promote healthy digestion. PABA has also traditionally been used to support healthy kidney function and prevent kidney stones.
