Condition
Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Myelodysplastic syndromes are bone marrow disorders in which the marrow makes abnormal, poorly working blood cells, leaving people with low red cells, white cells and platelets, which brings fatigue, infections and bleeding risk. Little research on supplements for this condition has been reviewed here so far, so there are no trial findings to report. Vitamin D, omega-3s, B12 and folate come up most often, but their role in MDS rests mainly on how they support the body in general, so it is worth talking with a hematology team about any of them.
