Condition
Brain Cancer
Brain cancer is a group of tumors that either start in the brain or spread there from elsewhere, and the most common aggressive type, glioblastoma, tends to keep growing despite treatment. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far, so there are no trial findings to report yet. Boswellia has the most support of the options studied, with moderate evidence tied to easing brain swelling after radiation, while omega-3s and vitamin D have only limited evidence.
