Quick read

Vadim Nemkov disclosed that kidney problems in 2022 led to severe stamina issues during his first bout with Corey Anderson and in training. He would feel strong in the first round of sparring but would gas out completely by the second and third rounds. After the first Anderson fight, doctors in Thailand identified the issue and prescribed a permitted medication that resolved the problem. Nemkov has since eliminated all sports supplements from his diet, as they placed additional stress on his kidneys, and now relies only on vitamins and proper nutrition. He says he has not noticed any decline in performance since dropping supplements like creatine, protein, and BCAAs.
