Super “Vegan”, an essential nutritional supplement for chemotherapy 

Chemotherapy acts as an essential weapon against cancer. However, whilst it is killing the malignant cells, it can still “accidentally harm” the white blood cells that are the body’s defenders. If the number of white blood cells drops, the body’s resistance will decline, which means that the risk of catching colds and infections will increase and that many patients as well as their families will be concerned. In fact, by a scientific dietary modification, the body “can be energized and reload” with the help of it and the support of white cells gradually be renewed. So, what to eat to quickly recover from chemotherapy-induced leukopenia? SuperVegan has been an auxiliary nutritional supplement made possible by its creatively designed formula, which made it the first choice for a number of patients.

I. Regarding the adjustment of the daily diet, in view of the leukopenia after chemotherapy, here are some suggestions:

Premium Protein: “Synthetic Raw Material for Leukocytes”

Without a doubt, the formation of white blood cells certainly requires enough protein. The functionality of the digestive system can be impaired after chemotherapy. It is suggested to consume high biological value proteins that are easy to digest as well as having high nutritional value, for example:

Fish steamed, chicken without skin: tender meat, rich in high-quality proteins that do not aggravate the gastrointestinal tract;

Tempeh and soy milk: the most excellent of plant protein, the intake together with grains can elevate the absorption rate;

Mild egg pudding, low-fat milk: easy to eat, calcium and vitamin D also replenish.

Vitamins: Activate immunity “combat effectiveness”

The function of white blood cells can be backed up by multiple vitamins. For instance, the vitamin B family is participatory in cell metabolism, and vitamin C boosts the immune system. More intake of the following products is advised:

Dark green vegetables: spinach, broccoli, asparagus, etc., which are considerably less nutrient losing if they are blanched and stir-fried or made into soups;

Fresh fruits: kiwis, oranges, strawberries, etc., can be made into smoothies or eaten at a proper temperature to avoid oral mucosa irritation;

Mushrooms: The polysaccharides found in the shiitake and enoki varieties can also help to normalize the immune system.

Minerals: Build a strong body “protective wall”

Elements such as zinc and iron are very helpful in maintaining the immune system of an organism. The consumption of meat without fat, animal liver (about 50g 1-2 times a week), and chopped nuts (grind to a powder and add to porridge so it is easier to be absorbed) in the proper amount will be good for you, but make sure not to consume in excess to avoid overburdening your digestion.

2. “Personalized dietary adjustment is also critical, and patients’ individual differences and preferences need to be fully considered”.

The professional nutritional supplement, SuperVegan, is an indispensable factor in the health support for the subpopulation, for which it is specially designed. Its main raw material is high-purity whey protein imported from overseas, the protein purity of which is not lower than 80%, and that is much higher than the protein content of only 70% in whey protein products commonly available on the market. Whey protein is hydrolyzed into small peptides and amino acids. This is the form which is gastrointestinally friendly and therefore it is especially for those who are lactose intolerant or whose digestive function is weak. Meanwhile, SuperVegan also carries multiple immunonutrients, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to keep the whole body nourished.

Throughout chemotherapy, the patients’ digestive mucosa is prone to being harmed so that the tachyphan protein powder is made with a sugar-free and low-fat recipe which does not irritate the digestive tract, and even patients with nausea and abdominal distension can consume it without trouble. To make the nutritional supplement tastier according to preference, a little milk, rice soup, juice, and other seasonings can be added.

In brief, when planning meals, firstly, the “eat little but often” rule which helps to avoid eating too much at once and thereby discomfort aggravation must be observed; ingredients should be fresh and thoroughly cooked so as not to get bacterial infection; at the same time, pay attention to your own condition, if the white blood cells are still low or there are other symptoms, you should ask your doctor for help so that a tailor-made recovery regimen can be made in time.
