Evidence-Based Protocol
Supplement stack ranked by research quality
Primary Stack (Tier 1)
Anti-inflammatory; supports immune function; may help maintain weight
Immune support; often deficient in cancer patients
Supporting Stack (Tier 2)
Critical for maintaining muscle mass; gastric surgery limits intake
Anemia common after gastric surgery; only if deficient
Cannot absorb B12 after total gastrectomy; requires supplementation
How It Works
Stomach (gastric) cancer is a serious cancer affecting the stomach lining. Treatment often involves surgery that significantly impacts nutrition and requires lifelong supplementation.
TYPES:
CRITICAL: Stomach cancer requires comprehensive oncological care. This protocol is SUPPORTIVE ONLY and must be coordinated with your oncology team.
TREATMENTS:
NUTRITIONAL CHALLENGES AFTER GASTRECTOMY:
* Vitamin B12 is mandatory after total gastrectomy.
* Iron and calcium absorption are impaired.
* Protein intake is critical but challenging.
Expected timeline: Nutritional support is lifelong after gastrectomy.
