Are there supplements that help with fatigue?

Good question. Would love to hear any advice. This isn't a supplement but when I was going through radiation Tx, the nurse suggested walking 1/2 hr a day to help beat the fatigue. She said moderate exercise also gives a slight boost the immune system. If you're having any sleeping related issues, I know there were some threads on that; some members suggested accupuncture, etc. Best of luck. Fatigue isn't fun.

i take a tblspoon of molasses.. all the iron and minerals are really good for the blood... let's it carry oxygen better.   i mix brewer's yeast for the B vitamins with water.. i love the taste.  D3 and Calcium if i feel i can take even more pills

I've upped my vitamin D to 10,000 IU's daily to get the maximum benefit and try and get my levels from in the 50's to the 70's.  I get a weekly vitamin infusion (Meyer's cocktail) which is loaded with vitamin C, B, and other minerals.  I didn't do rads, but the tamoxifen is making me tired and in need of a nap daily.  I'm not used to that.

I take a mega dose B complex at lunch. Really helps.

I take a complex multivitamin and mineral supplement once a week, and also an iron tablet on top of that.  I also eat as much protein as I can.  And then there's a simple walk a few days a week and drinking some extra water.  That walk, even if you can only do a little at a time, you'll find if you keep at it, even intermittently, it will slowly build up strength.  Soon you can walk farther, do more regular stuff in general.  But when you need to rest, THEN REST.  Lots of naps, just fall asleep whenever.  They say after radiation, and I say after ANY cancer treatments especially chemo, that it takes six months to a year to get over the whole thing.   

The best thing I have just found is Olive Leaf Extract - one capsule in the morning and I have started taking less naps. I am a Xeloda Diva as well and along with keeping my vitamin D levels up (I get the levels checked with my onc and he recommends I take 2500 units a day), the Olive Leaf is the only thing that I have taken that actually is having a good result.  If you can't find it, just ask the pharmacy to order it for you - it runs about $6.99 for a 60 tab bottle.  I use Walgreens but I am sure any other pharmacy would do the same for you. 

I would check with your onc on the massive vitamin B's - I was cautioned against taking a multi vitamin and I should get enough B's and C's from eating well.  Ensure Immune is great too especially if you are like me and when the morning pills are to be taken with food, I just can't eat first thing in the morning and the Ensure gives a good coating to my tummy to avoid any issues until I do eat later in the morning.  Oh, and I did check with the onc about the Olive Leaf and the only thing was that it may lower the blood pressure - with Xeloda possibly raising the blood pressure - its a win!  It may also cause some loose bowels but with the pain meds I am taking (don't know if you are) and constipation being an issue with them, it has actually helped me without having to resort to other options.

I just found it two weeks ago and have already have noticed a pretty significant reduction of the fatigue!

Best to you!

I use patches that contain the methylcobalamin form of B12.  They boost my energy and my B12 lab came back near the top of the range.  I've tried the sublingual B12 with the cyanocobalamin form and they didn't perk me up at all.
