Radiation fibrosis

Supplements studied for radiation fibrosis.

Overview

Berberine is the only supplement studied for radiation fibrosis, with one early trial in lung cancer patients. In that study, taking berberine daily during radiation treatment appeared to reduce lung injury and improve lung function compared with placebo. However, it remains uncertain whether berberine helps radiation-related fibrosis more broadly.

Confirmation in larger trials is needed. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below.
