All,
What additional vitamins are you taking along with your TKIs and why? All I've seen is Vitamin D and Magnesium. What about green tea? I keep reading conflicting info.
Thanks,
Jon
Hey,
My specialist said don’t bother, if you get a proper balanced diet you’ll get it all from food.
I’ve seen a long list on this site over the last couple of years.
Circumin (Tumeric)
Magnesium
VitD, VitB, VitC, VitK
Selenium (found in Brazil nuts)
there is a long list....
Rather than take vits I’ve changed up my diet to have lots of fruit and veg, less red meat simply from a gut point of view. More chicken and fish. I eat a lot of nuts. I’ve only been on my new diet for a couple of months and already have more energy, I was getting kicked in the butt with fatigue. Not anymore.

No probs Jon.
I’ve only recently cut out red meat because I used to eat a lot of it and from a digestion point of view it’s hard on the stomach and I know TKIs are tough on the gut so I wanna help my body as much as possible.
I’ve been having a smoothie in the morning which consists of a Banana, Blueberries, Raspberries, Spinach, Greek Yogurt, x1 Actimel, Scoop of peanut butter for protein as I lift weights, a handful of cashews and x4 Brazil nuts. I’ve been doing this for a couple of months now.
My energy and my stomach has been so much better. I cut out alcohol completely until about 8 months into treatment. I am 20 months in now and have the occasional drink but I don’t get drunk anymore as TKIs are synthesised in the Liver lol. But I plan to over Xmas.
