Partnering with Leading Institutions
Nephroceuticals has partnered with the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation and has provided an unrestricted educational grant to raise awareness of the importance of nutrition in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients. Patients and caregivers are encouraged to discuss any supplements or multivitamins prior to use with their physicians or healthcare providers.
This educational partnership does not constitute an endorsement by the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation.
Ingredients included in ProUCRO® Gut Supplements are carefully chosen by an expert Medical Advisory Board based on current scientific evidence to promote gut health.
Folic Acid
Some Crohn’s drugs, like methotrexate and sulfasalazine, lower your body’s levels of folic acid. Your doctor may have you take a folate supplement.
Calcium
Steroids for Crohn’s disease can weaken your bones. If your body can’t digest milk or milk products, you’re even more likely to be short on calcium. Your doctor may tell you to take supplements to keep your bones strong and prevent other problems.
Vitamin D
It helps your body absorb calcium for strong bones, but people with Crohn’s disease often don’t have enough. Your doctor may tell you to take a daily supplement.
Vitamins A, E, and K
Surgery on your intestines can make it hard for your body to absorb fats. That lowers your levels of these vitamins.
Iron
Inflammation from your Crohn’s may keep your body from using iron as well as it should. And blood loss from ulcers may cause you to lose iron. In either case, your doctor may tell you to take iron tablets, liquid, or infusions.
