Supplements

     This is something I really haven't gone into a lot before. Mostly just because I'm not a person who is super into them. I have been reading another blog lately and I have learned a lot about a few supplements. Also please note, I am not a Dr. nor am I any expert on this type of thing. Make sure to do your own research and only try things you feel safe trying, or talk to a Dr. before you try all of this.

     Grape Seed Extract: Studies are finding that it helps with inflammation. Something that pancreatitis is known to cause. The swelling can be very painful. Studies show that this helped 1 out of 3 patients. So is it flawless, no, but if it can help, why not give it a try. This process as a whole should be treated as such. You should always do what works best for you. You know your body best.

     Vitamin C: Okay we all know this is good for you, but did you know we (humans) are one of the few species in the world that don't naturally produce this? Pretty cool, but yet sadly it's something we now lack and should make up for it. The other perk, it too helps with inflammation. When paired with grape seed extract, it's found the two boost one another. However! Be warned, this combination may not pair well with hypertension. Again do what works for you. Try variant doses and track your progress. Even talk to a Dr. and see what they say about it.

     Curcumin: Now this one is new to me. I know very little about this so please do your own research on it as well. This is a component of the East Indian spice turmeric. Again I don't know too much, I personally am going to try just using turmeric a bit more in cooking, due to the fact that this is a bit hard for the body to break down. Also in some studies it's been known to cause vomiting and nauseous. This also increases bile flow. If you have gallstones or other problems, you might just want to skip this one all together.
