Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency is common in people with COPD and might be associated with exacerbations and reduced lung function. Vitamin D supplementation might be recommended under the guidance of healthcare professionals to address deficiencies and potentially reduce respiratory issues. However, the dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 supplements containing EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory properties and might have potential benefits in reducing inflammation and supporting overall health in individuals with COPD. However, evidence supporting their use specifically for COPD management is limited.
Probiotics: Some research suggests that probiotics might have potential benefits for respiratory health by modulating the immune system and reducing respiratory infections. However, evidence supporting their use specifically for COPD is limited, and the specific strains and dosages for respiratory health require further investigation.
Antioxidants: Antioxidant supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or N-acetylcysteine (NAC) might be considered to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in individuals with COPD. However, the use of antioxidants should be discussed with healthcare providers due to potential interactions with medications and variable effects in COPD.
All suggestions from this page should be reviewed by your medical professionals. These are based on modelling and not clinical studies.
