💡 Did you know your Ren-Nu enrollment includes a 3-month supply of KetoCitra®?

KetoCitra® is a medical food designed for kidney health. It provides:

✨β-Hydroxybutyrate (exogenous ketone)
✨Citrate salts (potassium, calcium, magnesium)
✨Alkaline base to neutralize acid load

Why it supports your kidney health:

✨Supports and maintains nutritional ketosis
✨Provides kidney-safe mineral balance
✨Helps reduce lithogenic potential (stone risk) by normalizing urinary citrate and pH.

It’s part of what makes Ren-Nu unique: science-backed, patient-led, and kidney-safe.

👀 Sneak peek from the Ren-Nu kitchen!

Our salmon and avocado meal is one of many flavorful, kidney-friendly recipes you’ll find in the program. High in protein and omega-3s, low in oxalates, and rich in creamy, healthy fats—it’s the perfect balance of indulgence and nutrition.

✅ Fact: Protein isn’t the enemy — it’s about the right type and amount.

In Ren-Nu™, we optimize (not reduce) protein to support safe kidney health while maintaining ketosis.
