Important
Be aware of the risk of interaction. When you take both medicine and supplements, or several different supplements, these can affect each other. This means that the effect of your medicine can become either stronger or weaker, or entirely different effects may arise that are not necessarily desired for your cancer treatment.
This applies to supplements, medication, and other cancer treatments—not least in combination with chemotherapy. If in doubt, seek competent guidance.

Interaction
Be aware that certain drugs can interact with each other, as well as with supplements. This means that unintended effects can occur when these are combined.
If in doubt, it can be checked here:
- Find Drugs & Conditions (Drugs.com)
- Interaktionsdatabasen (Danish Medicines Agency)
Blocking pathways
Here is a chart for blocking pathways, a concept that Jane McLelland, among others, works with to prevent nutrients from reaching the cancer. The chart shown for Glioblastoma was developed by Ulrik Hedrich Munk. Under the individual preparations and supplements, the mode of action can be seen by hovering the mouse over the chart. To the chart.
