Oh that’s great @SouthJerseyEd, I’m glad your doctor doesn’t see any negatives to you taking the supplement, and I’m especially glad it helps with the itching. You might be surprised by how many comments on here encourage others to take all sorts of clinically unproven stuff! Of course your doctor knows your specific diagnosis, which may not suit others with our own. Worth being more careful now, I’d say.

I didn’t put this in my first post either because I this site doesn’t like links for some reason? But I also saw it on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) website too.

To be honest, ii just gave a polite reply to the person suggesting it. I wa0s prescribed some ta0blets by my oncologist-haematologist to take when the itching is really bad. I would never take anything not discussed or prescribed by the medical people.
Best wishes,
