Diuretics are supplements that help reduce the amount of water in the body. They are often used to treat the buildup of excess fluid in the body that occurs with some medical conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. Some diuretics are also prescribed to treat high blood pressure. Diuretics act on the kidneys to increase urine output, which reduces the amount of fluid in the bloodstream and in turn lowers blood pressure. This can be beneficial for athletes and bodybuilders who are trying to achieve low body fat levels, as excess water under the skin is removed giving greater levels of cuts and definition.
