nutritional diet supplements

[lyneebee]

I want to know if anyone of you is taking or took Amrbotose glyconutritional dietary supplements before. It's a form of sugar mix w/ aloe vera.I was told this promotes good cells and support immune system. A friend of mind who was a Stage 3 cancer survisor refused chemo after surgery and choose to take this nutrition tablets instead. it's been 2 years now, a cancer free. She's in good health, healed and full of energy at 72. I asked my doctor's (hematoligist/oncologist) opinion if I can take it, she said, "I do not see any beneficial and bad about the product. You just have to watch and monitor your INR".So, I want to try but scared that I may mess up my regular INR level. Any advise? Thanks.

If you start taking this, you just want to make sure you take the same amount every week and monitor your INR every week for the first month or so. That way you can make changes to your coumadin dose if needed and know that any change will be based on consistancy.

There not very specific in the contents of the product, but from what I read, I don't see anything that would affect your INR however, I would still advise to test shortly after starting it to be positive of this.

I noticed that some of the glyconutritional supplement formulaes contained astragalus. I thought that the following link might be of interest to you.
