Supplements

Penny Brohn Cancer Care recommends that people take vitamins and minerals to supplement a healthy diet as research indicates that optimal nutrition is protective against cancer and supports health following a diagnosis.

Ideally we should receive these nutrients from food. However, intensive farming practices have reduced the nutrients in certain foods, meaning even with the best diet this may not be possible. We publish guidelines on supplements for people with cancer and for those wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle, call 0845 123 23 10 or email for your copy.

Always inform your medical team if you are considering supporting your current situation with supplements.
