What Causes Flare Up Of Lymphedema After Taking Protandim And Colostrum?
I am a breast cancer survivor. I ve had reactions to anastrozole and letrizole. I am now on tamoxifen. Recently a friend encouraged me to take a supplement called protandim as well as colostrum 6. My lymphedema has flared up and I m not well. Is it possible the supplements are not interacting w tamoxifen favorably.

Hi,
As per my clinical experience, the issue of a flare-up lymphedema is likely due to
@ Immune-mediated T and B cell response after metabolic and chemical changes in the body
@ Reduced efficacy of the tamoxifen consumed for the anti-cancer purpose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
