Improved quality of life with the right vitamins
and minerals
Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing
macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the
micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium,
L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting
the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating
the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life.
This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer,
malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on
micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve
their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient
