Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any advice regarding supplements they took to aid internal healing after Radiotherapy & Brachytherapy. I don’t know if there is anything that would help the healing process and maybe reduce scar tissue forming, I’ve seen some people mention Collagen, echinacea & zinc. Also if anyone has any creams/gels that helped look after their skin during radiotherapy too. Thanks x
Hi there -
I have been taking Glowwa - they are a multi supplement brand focused around woman’s health (see the Meno range).
Originally targeting hair loss and shedding (fantastic for after chemo), but also made to stabilise hormones and reduce inflammation. It helps with all side affects of menopause, which if not already, your treatment will have started this. It is suitable for peri, menopause & post meno. I would highly recommend it.
I have also been taking their collagen alongside the supplements which has been a great boost - if you are taking collagen, please make sure it is type 3 (usually bovine), as this focuses on the inside, including muscle, bone, ligament & injury recovery.
Take a look on their website or Instagram pages for more info or feel free to ask me - I’ve trained with the. In level 1 & 2 nutrition, and I work closely with the brand now after my cancer journey to help trial and develop products.
hope this helps!
Sara
