End of Life
End of life is the final stage of a serious illness, when care turns toward comfort and the body often brings pain, nausea, fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety and loss of appetite. Among supplements, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D are the ones people look at most, but little research on them for this stage has been reviewed here so far. So it is too early to say how well any of them work.
