Can people on hemodialysis take blue/green algae?


blue/green algae, available at health food stores is supposed to help lessen the effects of diabetic neuropathy

Check it out with your doctor. Items at health food stores are not checked by the FDA, so you're never sure of what you're getting and how it will interact with other things you are taking.

I never have heard of this.

Some algae are poisonous, so I would be hesitant to try any of those products.
