ONCOVIT PLUS
Maintaining proper nutrition is crucial for patients undergoing cancer treatment. A balanced oncology nutritional supplement can play a supportive role in helping individuals meet their nutritional needs. A good nutritional supplement contains:
•
Protein which is essential for maintaining muscle mass and supporting the immune system. high-quality protein can be obtained from whey protein, soy protein, or pea protein.
•
Calories: A supplement with added calories can help meet energy requirements and prevent malnutrition.
•
Probiotics: Maintaining a healthy gut microbiota is crucial, especially during cancer treatment.
•
Fibers: Adequate fiber intake is important for digestive health.
•
Multi vitamins: helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamins C and E, as well as selenium, are examples of good antioxidants.
•
Micro minerals : a good supplement contains essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc, and selenium.
•
Omega-3 Fatty Acids have anti-inflammatory properties and may support overall well-being.
Consuming inadequate protein and too few calories are the most common nutrition problems facing many cancer patients.
A cancer patient needs nutritional supplements because:
•
Cancer itself and the treatments (such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, Immunotherapy and Stem cell transplant) can lead to a higher risk of malnutrition.
Anorexia and cachexia are common causes of malnutrition in cancer patients.
Anorexia is the loss of appetite or desire to eat. It is a common symptom in patients with cancer and it occurs early in the disease or later, if the cancer grows or spreads. Some patients may already have anorexia when they are diagnosed with cancer.
Cachexia is a condition marked by weakness, weight loss, and fat and muscle loss. It is common in patients with tumors that affect eating and digestion. It can occur in cancer patients who are eating well, but are not storing fat and muscle because of tumor growth.
•
Loss of appetite, changes in taste, difficulty swallowing, and nausea are common side effects that can result in reduced food intake.
•
Weight Loss: Cancer and its treatments can lead to unintentional weight loss, muscle wasting, and weakness.
•
Cancer patients may experience an increased demand for energy due to factors such as fever, infection, and the metabolic demands of the tumor.
•
Some cancer treatments can lead to nutrient deficiencies. For example, chemotherapy may affect the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals, making it necessary to supplement to maintain adequate levels.
•
Digestive Issues: Cancer treatments can cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and mouth sores, making it difficult for patients to consume a regular diet.
•
Immune Support: Adequate nutrition is essential for a well-functioning immune system. Cancer patients often have compromised immune systems, and nutritional supplements with vitamins and minerals can help support immune function.
•
Protein Intake: Maintaining protein intake is crucial for preventing muscle wasting and supporting tissue repair. Some cancer patients may struggle to consume enough protein through food alone, making protein supplements such as WHEY protein beneficial.
•
Dehydration is a common concern during cancer treatment, particularly if patients experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Cancer and cancer treatments may cause nutrition-related side effects. Ensuring proper nutrition before,
during, and after treatment can help patients feel better and stay stronger.
