Have any supplements been studied for breast cancer?

    Last Updated: October 25, 2023

    Research on the use of dietary supplements for breast cancer is limited. Some supplements assessed for benefit in breast cancer include vitamin C, vitamin D, beta-carotene, and turkey tail (Coriolus versicolor).[1] There is also interest in supplements like EPA and DHA for reducing the side effects of breast cancer chemotherapy.[2]
