Natural Supplements and Your DMT Every individual journey in MS management is unique. While some choose to solely focus on medical management of MS, many others use a holistic approach of combining natural supplements such as vitamins, fatty acids, and others alongside their DMT to provide a better treatment plan for their unique needs. From vitamins and minerals to herbal remedies and antioxidants, the choices available can some-times feel overwhelming. The right combination of medical treatments and other natural supplements requires collaborative discussions with your healthcare team because some supplements may have drug interactions and change the efficacy of the DMT. It is important for you to remain open-minded during these discussions to ensure your choices align with both you and your doctors overall treatment goals.
