It is difficult to say. There are no scientific studies that have been conducted to say that these supplements help or that they are "good". That being said, they likely won't hurt anything and they have good anecdotal reviews online. It is completely up to you if you want to try them. They do not replace traditional cancer therapies so don't rely on them solely as a "cure". Hope this helps. Best wishes.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to know as this has not been tested at all to check for its efficacy though I would say that it is unlikely to help based on what it is which is basically just supplements. I only treat cancer patients and could not recommend this product based on the lack of evidence that it does help at all. Good luck and best wishes!
