Vitamin K2 is necessary for the kidneys to protect themselves from

calcium deposits. The kidney actually makes vitamin K-dependent

proteins whose specific function is to prevent the growth of calcium

oxalate or calcium phosphate crystals. The best dietary sources are

natto, goose liver and hard cheese. You can get supplements. The

best in my opinion is Thorne research, though it is synthetic; if you

insist ona natural supplement the best is Jarrow.

Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine (TMG), is very important for

the kidneys to protect themselves against osmotic stress. The best

dietary source is whole wheat. You can also get supplements.

If that's true, it would explain why glyconutrients help: lectins are

involved in autoimmune diseases and infections, and glyconutrients

bind lectins.

Do you know if glyconutrients work only in the digestive tract binding

lectins? Or throughout the body, assuming lectins get into the bloodstream?

Throughout the body. That is why cranberries are good for urinary

tract infections -- they are rich in mannose.
