@granite, good question to ask your oncologist when choosing integrative therapies or supplements along with cancer treatments. Some supplements, teas, vitamins can interfere with the effectiveness of treatment.

Here are my favorite websites for finding evidence-based info about herbs and supplements:

From Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK)
– Search About Herbs (cancer specific) https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/diagnosis-treatment/symptom-management/integrative-medicine/herbs/search

National Center for complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
– Homepage https://www.nccih.nih.gov/
– Health Topics A-Z https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/atoz
– Herbs At A Glance https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/herbsataglance
– Know the Science https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/know-science

@jodaface02, in case you didn't see Granite's question, they ask how you choose the supplements you mention. Does your cancer center have an integrative medicine department?
