WOW! 1500 mg is a super high dose. I would not dare to take supplements without discussing with doc first.

Hi @sand103 It’s not a good idea to take any supplements unless you discuss this with your hematologist oncologist first. Some supplements can interfere with the body’s ability to process medications, causing either too much or too little to be absorbed in the system. Even something as innocent as fruit juices can interfere. I wasn’t on Hydroxyurea, but another medication after my transplant. I wasn’t able to have pomegranate juice, grapefruit, or oranges because of the side effect they would have on my meds.
What supplements were you considering?
