Answer
You are right to check any interactions with ARVs first.
In these examples, all are fine to take with any ARV combination.
Omega-3 can reduce tryglcerides (and cholesterol to a lesser extent) and can reduce risk of heart disease when diet changes haven’t rediced these to target levels.
Multivitamins are fine too are green tea and rooibos tea.
Hi Pipoy,
Spacing the multivits is a good idea, the tea is fine.
How are you managing with your diagnoses?
