Hi,

my wife started her chemo on last Wednesday. Which supplements can you recommend to boost her immune system? I am not sure is it OK to post exact brands - if not please send me DM.

Atm, she is taking Salvestrol and red beet juice.

Thank you in advance

Hi. Some doctors don’t allow any supplements because things like antioxidants can interfere with chemo. Beet juice should be fine but she should check with her team.

Thank you. She have poor digest anyway and does not eat enough I guess. We try to find something to keep her gastro-tract as much intact as possible.
