Supplements

When many people come to the SCD™ they are often already taking a number of supplements and ask whether they are legal on SCD™. We are therefore very grateful to Catherine Tamaro who has compiled the following list of supplement additives. I cannot comment on individual brands of supplement yet because the manufacturers are not telling us everything about the additives in their supplements. Supplements should be kept to a minimum but I recognize that because of mal-absorption issues when people begin the SCD™ that they may be necessary. Once healing has progressed, the aim should be to minimize some supplements. See pages 46 to 49 of my book Breaking the Vicious Cycle.
