Dad is really excited about this one, but I don’t get what’s the big deal. Some mumbo-jumbo about absorbing uremic toxin precursors in the gut before they get into my blood. Apparently that helps me feel better! He says it’s one of the few supplements available that repeatedly demonstrates a benefit when studied by researchers.

This is another one Dad’s excited about, but I haven’t really tried it in earnest yet. The pills are so slippery, I just lick the treat right around them and leave the pill. I’m sneaky like that.
