Vadim Nemkov reveals kidney issues affected Corey Anderson loss, now avoids supplements

Vadim Nemkov disclosed that kidney problems caused him to gas out quickly in his first fight with Corey Anderson in 2022, affecting his sparring sessions where he would tire after one round. After struggling through multiple training sessions and the fight itself, doctors eventually identified the issue and found a legal medication that resolved the problem. Nemkov has since completely eliminated sports supplements including creatine, protein, and BCAAs from his routine due to the strain they place on his kidneys. He now only takes vitamins such as omega-3, fish oil, magnesium, and vitamin B. Nemkov stated he hasn't felt worse without supplements and emphasized the importance of proper nutrition and sleep instead.
