Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common side effects experienced by cancer patients during and after treatment. Unlike regular tiredness, CRF doesn’t always go away with rest and can significantly impact the quality of life. Fortunately, alongside conventional medical treatments, several nutritional supplements, herbs, and homeopathic medicines have shown promise in managing this debilitating condition.
Nutritional Supplements
Iron
Iron deficiency is a common cause of fatigue in cancer patients, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy. Iron supplements can help replenish iron stores in the body, improving energy levels and reducing fatigue. However, it’s important to have your iron levels checked before starting supplements, as excess iron can be harmful.
Vitamin D
Studies have linked low levels of vitamin D to increased fatigue among cancer patients. Vitamin D supplementation could help improve these levels, potentially reducing the severity of CRF.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Found in fish oil and flaxseed oil, omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that might help combat CRF. Research suggests that omega-3 supplementation can improve energy levels and reduce fatigue in cancer patients.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
CoQ10 is a nutrient that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells. Some preliminary studies indicate that CoQ10 supplements might help improve the physical condition and reduce fatigue in cancer patients.
Herbs
Ginseng
Ginseng is perhaps one of the most well-researched herbs in the context of cancer-related fatigue. Clinical trials have shown that ginseng may help reduce CRF, with American ginseng being particularly noted for its fatigue-fighting properties.
Ashwagandha
This traditional Indian herb, also known as Withania somnifera, is known for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body resist physical and mental stress. Some studies suggest ashwagandha may help improve energy levels and reduce fatigue in cancer patients.
Astragalus
Used in traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus has shown potential in boosting energy and overall immune health. Though more research is needed, astragalus could be beneficial in managing symptoms of CRF.
