I take a good multi vitamin, sub lingual B 12, B complex, magnesium and calcium, COQ10,melatonin and DGL licorice.All are approved by my onc, I am lucky, he encourages me to do thinsg naturally.I take carafate for my stomach which is the only prescription I am on now.I use a Neti pot for my sinus. I also have been eating lots of fruits, vegs, whole grains, skim milk and yogurt. I find walking and riding my exercise bike helps too.My side affects are stomach upset, muscle and joint pain,insomnia and sinus problems.Jackie

Nikken products offer some excellent natural sources of vitamins and nutrients. I am in the process of getting them.
