When we think of the characteristics of water, we can readily see that water is fluid, flexible, flowing and lubricating. So, when these qualities are lacking in the body, the Chinese would say that one is deficient in the water element (or energy). This lack of water energy would make a person stiff, brittle, rigid and dry.

KB-C is a Chinese formula that corrects this deficiency of water energy. It strengthens the organs associated with water in the body, the kidneys and bladder. In addition it also strengthens the bones. In Chinese medicine, the kidneys help “build the bones.” Although this may seem like a strange concept to Western minds, the kidneys also regulate the balance of mineral electrolytes and flush acid waste to help maintain pH balance, which maintains the health of the structural system. Acid pH contributes to a loss of bone density.

Fear is the emotion associated with the kidneys, and KB-C can also be helpful for a person who is fearful and timid and lacks “back bone.” It rejuvenates and strengthens the bones (especially the spine), kidneys, connective. This leads to a healthier urogenital system, more energy and vitality.

Years ago, I started referring to KB-C as the "herbal chiropractor" because it helps chiropractic adjustments to hold.  I regularly recommend it to people with back pain, along with drinking lots of water and eating a more alkalizing diet.  I've had people who suffered from chronic back pain tell me this completely cleared up their problem.

Other structural problems can also be improved with KB-C. 
It can be helpful for arthritis, osteoporosis, weak knees and ankles and other structural issues.

KB-C may also be helpful (along with the tincture of nettle seed) for renal failure and chronic kidney diseases.  The protocol here is to drink plenty of water while taking the herbs and stay away from all caffeine, sodas, alcohol, red meat and other heavy protein foods, and eat mostly fresh fruits and vegetables.  This has been helpful in restoring some function to the kidneys in several people.

I've also used KB-C for people who suffer from chronic urinary tract infections. 
It can even be helpful for prostate problems in men and for nighttime urination. It may also be helpful for frequent urination due to an irritable bladder (especially when used with the herb pipsissewa) and for nephritis.  In fact, it is the best NSP formula for nephritis or any other inflammatory condition of the kidneys as combinations like Kidney Activator, Kidney Drainage and JP-X contain herbs that can be irritating to the kidneys when they are inflamed.

Usage

To strengthen weak bones and kidneys take 2-3 capsules three times daily.

Also available as a TCM concentrate where the dose is 1 capsule, two to three times daily. [KB-C tcm}
