Renadyl™, a probiotic and prebiotic dietary supplement, is currently sold via Kibow's own online store (www.renadyl.com or www.kibow.com). This probiotic dietary supplement is known for its ability to target and help reduce the buildup of uremic toxins in the body, thus helping to maintain healthy kidney function, via Kibow's Uremic Toxin Reduction Technology. The probiotic microbial strains used in the product formulation are "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS status), according to the regulations of U.S. FDA.

In addition to marketing and sales of Renadyl™ as a dietary supplement, the company is currently exploring the option of advancing the product to prescription drug status by way of adhering to all USFDA guidelines.  This will mandate obtaining the needed Investigator New Drug (IND) process and accomplishing several additional human Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) in the forthcoming years in USA and possibly in several other countries.
