A risk group indicates the possibility that the disease may be associated with the risk of vital substance deficiency (micronutrients).
Complaint energy and protein malnutrition indicates vital nutrient (macro- and micronutrient) deficiency for:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin E
- Folic acid
- Vitamin K
- Magnesium
- Iron
- Iodine
- Selenium
- Zinc
- Omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid
- Omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid
- Tryptophan
- Total protein
Recent studies have shown that cancer patients who took the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid daily (6 g per day) significantly attenuated cachexia.
The above vital substance (micronutrient) recommendations were made with the help of medical experts. All statements are supported by scientific studies with high levels of evidence.
For a therapy recommendation only clinical studies with the highest evidence grades (grade 1a/1b and 2a/2b) were used, which prove the therapy recommendation due to their high significance. These data are updated at certain intervals.
* Vital substances (macro- and micronutrients) include vitamins, minerals, trace elements, vital amino acids, vital fatty acids, etc.
