Lutathera and vitamin C

Posted by susan481 @susan481, Aug 25 4:03pm

Hi folks - I know that PRRT and vitamins have a complex relationship. Has anyone been advised not to take any vitamin c? What if you need the vitamin c for an unrelated health reason?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

I don't think I was ever told not to take Vitamin C while on PRRT. Wasn't taking any supplements though except prescribed B12, which I still take.

While food sources of vitamin C are generally safe, taking high-dose vitamin C supplements during PRRT is often discouraged because its antioxidant properties may interfere with the treatment. The safety and efficacy of combining supplements with cancer therapies are a subject of ongoing research, and you should not take any supplements without consulting your healthcare provider.
