Hey crew.

What vitamins/supplements do you take which you have success/improved symptoms/ would recommend etc?

I’m awaiting surgery for deep infiltrating endo and trying to help my body anyway I can.

I’m veggie, already have B12 injections, take complex magnesium and am yogaing my ass off. Think I’ve got a bit of peri meni for added fun.

Grateful for your input and advice as always,

B

I take tumeric for anti inflammatory I take cod liver oil in a high dose to help with the bleeding and burdock tablets to help detox my body. Still struggle but I feel they do help. Xx

Have you read The Period Repair Manual by Dr Laura Briden? I’ve been following some of her recommendations for supplements and so far they have helped with improving some of my symptoms 🙌

She also has more information about suitability of the supplements for if you have other conditions or taking medications which is always important to check!

I have been taking turmeric for a while, though I haven't noticed much of a difference!

I started taking NAC and ALA a couple of weeks ago, they are meant to help decrease the lesions... too early to tell but here is some info on it!

I take NAC, DIM, calcium d glucarate, magnesium, high dose omega 3 and quercetin. Currently rattling with so many vits 😂 no idea if they help but NAC is supposed to slow endo growth according to a study.
