As you gain weight, your kidneys can be a victim of damage caused by the increase in body fat. But researchers think one type of antioxidant nutrient may help protect them.According to a laboratory study from Tunisia, grape seed extract may be able to help the body avoid kidney damage linked to a diet high in harmful fats. In this research, large weight gains caused kidneys to be damaged by fat deposits and a low level of copper. But grape seed extract supplements eliminated some of the fat deposits, and the kidneys experienced a moderate recovery of function.
“In our research, obesity-induced leaky kidney and proteinuria are shown to be prevented by GSSE (grape seed extract), which suggests the use of GSSE as a preventive nutriceutical for high-risk patients,” says researcher Kamel Charradi with the Laboratory of Bioactive Substance at the Center of Biotechnology of Borj-Cedria (CBBC) in Tunisia.
