Supplements in Cancer Care + Everyday Practice: What to Use, When, and Why

Description

Supplements come up in nearly every cancer conversation – and in plenty of everyday cases, too. This practical, evidence-informed session helps general practitioners confidently choose and use a short list of high-yield supplements in practice. We’ll focus on probiotics/synbiotics, sulforaphane, omega-3 fatty acids, and SAMe – when to reach for each, how to dose them, and what the research actually supports, including how to use them alongside common treatments. You’ll leave with practical dosing starting points, product selection tips, and real-world pearls you can use right away. You’ll see how these supplements fit into everyday cases across general practice, not just cancer care.
