In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is traditionally associated with depleted qi, blood, and yin reserves. C\/R Support is intended to work alongside your oncology team's care, never in place of it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e⚠️ Important:\u003c\/b\u003e This formula is not designed to treat cancer or replace chemotherapy and radiation, or any other professional healthcare — always consult your oncologist before adding any herbal formula during active cancer treatment. Contraindicated in cases of excessive heat, damp-heat, infection, or inflammation. Contains Dang Gui — those on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy such as warfarin should use with caution or avoid this formula.
