Product Overview

What Is Nature's Sunshine Kidney Drainage?

Nature's Sunshine Kidney Drainage is a 2 fl oz liquid herbal formula designed to support the kidneys as they work to filter fluid from the bloodstream. It includes herbs that may help the kidneys eliminate toxins and waste while assisting in maintaining proper fluid balance and promoting healthy urine production.

The formula brings together four botanicals with deep roots in traditional herbal practice — Asparagus tops, Plantain leaves, Juniper berries, and Goldenrod aerial parts — each selected for its historical association with kidney and urinary system wellness. Whether you're looking to nourish your kidneys during seasonal cleansing or simply want everyday urinary tract support, Nature's Sunshine Kidney Drainage offers a convenient liquid format that can be taken in water twice daily.

If you have questions about whether this formula is right for your wellness goals, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help guide you.

How It Works

Supporting Kidney Filtration and Fluid Balance

Your kidneys filter roughly 200 quarts of fluid every day, separating waste products and excess water from the blood. When kidney function is well-supported, the body maintains a healthy balance of fluids and efficiently removes metabolic byproducts through urine.

Nature's Sunshine Kidney Drainage takes a multi-herb approach to this process. Asparagus officinalis and Juniper berries have traditionally been used as natural diuretics — substances that may promote healthy urine production and support the flushing of the urinary tract. Goldenrod is recognized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as a traditional herbal product for increasing urine output to help flush the urinary tract. Plantain leaf rounds out the formula with its own long history of use for urinary tract complaints across European, Asian, and Persian traditional medicine.

Together, these herbs work to nourish the kidneys, support the removal of fluid, and promote proper fluid balance throughout the body.

What's inside

Key Ingredients

Asparagus Tops — 300 mg

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) has one of the most consistently documented traditional uses for kidney and urinary health across all major world medical traditions — from ancient Greek and Roman physicians who noted its mild diuretic properties to Traditional Chinese Medicine texts such as the Compendium of Materia Medica. It has been traditionally used across European, Asian, Chinese, and Persian medical traditions for kidney and urinary complaints, and is included in several national pharmacopoeias for kidney irrigation therapy. Asparagus contains asparagine, an amino acid with mild diuretic activity, and has been traditionally used as a folk remedy for fluid retention for centuries. Studies demonstrate that Asparagus consumption may help reduce urinary levels of stone-forming ions (calcium, oxalate) while increasing urinary magnesium, an inhibitor of kidney stone crystallization. The diuretic effect promotes increased urine volume, further supporting healthy urinary mineral balance. Modern animal data suggest nephroprotective and ACE-inhibitory effects relevant to kidney function, though formal human clinical trial evidence remains limited.

Plantain Leaves — 300 mg

Plantain (Plantago major L.) is a perennial medicinal herb that has been used for nearly 4,000 years across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Known as 'Lesan-ol-haml' in Traditional Persian Medicine and valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Plantain has a long tradition of use as a diuretic and for urinary tract complaints including cystitis. Bladder problems and kidney stones are among the classically recorded traditional uses in European, Asian, and Persian folk medicine. Preclinical studies have demonstrated diuretic effects, and in vitro research shows antimicrobial activity against common uropathogens such as E. coli and Klebsiella. Anti-inflammatory compounds in the plant, including ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, and the caffeic acid derivative plantamajoside, may support urinary comfort. The closely related Traditional Chinese Medicine herb Plantago asiatica ('Che Qian Zi') has a well-developed traditional dossier for urinary system health. Human clinical trial data specific to P. major for urinary tract applications are limited, but the traditional record is extensive and well-documented.

Juniper berries — 300 mg

Juniper berries (Juniperus communis L.) have been used across European traditional medicine for centuries as a diuretic and urinary antiseptic. The German Commission E approved juniper berry preparations as an irrigation diuretic for lower urinary tract conditions, while the EMA's HMPC classifies them as traditional herbal medicinal products for flushing the urinary tract as supportive treatment for minor urinary tract complaints. The volatile oil constituent terpinen-4-ol is identified as the primary active compound responsible for increasing urine volume without significant electrolyte loss, working by mildly stimulating renal tissues to increase glomerular filtration rate and urine output. Juniper berries have been traditionally used to treat renal suppression, acute and chronic cystitis, and bladder catarrh. In vitro studies have also shown potential to help dissolve urinary stones composed of calcium oxalate and other minerals. While the traditional and pharmacopoeial backing is strong, robust human clinical trial data remain limited.

Goldenrod Aerial Parts — 300 mg

Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) is a classical European urological phytomedicine with centuries of documented use for kidney stones, urinary tract inflammation, and diuresis. The German Commission E monograph approves it for irrigation of inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract, urinary stones, and renal gravel, including prevention in those with a tendency toward stone formation. The EMA recognizes Goldenrod as a traditional herbal medicinal product for increasing urine output to support flushing of the urinary tract. Research suggests that Goldenrod's diuretic ('aquaretic') action involves saponins that increase renal blood circulation and glomerular filtration, promoting urinary output without significant electrolyte loss. Pharmacological studies confirm anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and analgesic actions relevant to kidney and urinary tract health. Open non-randomized clinical studies indicate that Goldenrod may help support management of urinary tract symptoms within 2–4 weeks. In one study of 512 people with chronic overactive bladder taking 425 mg of dry Goldenrod extract three times daily, 96% reported improvement. Its flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol) and saponins contribute to its diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects.

What traditional uses do the herbs in Kidney Drainage have?

All four herbs share long histories in traditional herbal medicine for kidney and urinary system support. Asparagus has been used for kidney and urinary complaints across Greek, Roman, Chinese, and Persian traditions. Plantain leaf has been traditionally used as a diuretic and for urinary tract complaints for nearly 4,000 years. Juniper berries are recognized by the German Commission E and the European Medicines Agency for urinary tract flushing. Goldenrod is approved by the German Commission E for irrigation of inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract and prevention of urinary stones.

Is there scientific research behind these ingredients?

The evidence base varies by ingredient but is largely traditional and preclinical. Goldenrod has the strongest regulatory backing, with European Medicines Agency recognition and open clinical studies suggesting benefits for urinary tract health within 2–4 weeks. Asparagus has animal and in vitro data supporting its diuretic and kidney-related effects. Juniper's diuretic mechanism through terpinen-4-ol is well-characterized in preclinical research. Plantain has demonstrated diuretic and antimicrobial properties in laboratory studies. Large-scale randomized human clinical trials for these specific herbs in kidney health remain limited.

Can I use Kidney Drainage as part of a cleansing program?

Many people incorporate kidney-supportive formulas like Kidney Drainage into broader seasonal wellness or cleansing routines. If you're considering combining it with other products, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help you build a plan suited to your individual needs.

Are there any safety considerations I should be aware of?

Asparagus extracts should be avoided during pregnancy, as they have been traditionally used for birth control and may affect hormone balance. Juniper is also considered unsafe during pregnancy and should be avoided in those with kidney disease; long-term use beyond 4 weeks is generally not recommended. Plantain may stimulate uterine activity, so caution is warranted during pregnancy. Juniper may interact with lithium and diuretic medications. Goldenrod should be avoided by those sensitive to the Asteraceae family (ragweed, marigolds, daisies) or with latex allergy. As with any supplement, consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition.
