Vitamins, supplements & chemo
Ladies, I have been taking some high tech vitamins & supplements which have given me amazing energy boost since I've been on chemo. I've noticed conflicting research on anti-oxidants and whether they might interfere wtih chemo. Esp worrying was the recent stury re: vitamin C. I wondered what vitamins, supplements you take, whether you think some of them might interfere with chemo, what's really helped you survive the crazy treatments they give us.
Here's what I've been taking--
CoQ10
Milk thistle
Vitamin D3
Vitamin E
Turmeric
Broccoli seed extract
L-glutamine, aloe & licorice formula
Immunoglobulin concentrate
Probiotics
Pancreas concentrate, pancreatin
Multivitamin with tons of stuff in it, but have stopped b/c it has 400% vitamin C
