Question: Hi there,

I currently take garlic (1100mg), fish oil (2g), and some other supplements in smaller quantities including CoQ10, quercetin, resveratrol, green tea, fruit/veggies (supplements + foods), etc. (plus a multivitamin). These are all approved by my primary care physician and have actually assisted me in getting my blood pressure to healthier levels. They're also a more natural alternative (at 34) to aspirin therapy. I try to get a wide variety of everything, but in low-moderate quantities.

Two questions:
- I note that a lot of these are anti-angiogenesis. From my understanding, where cancer prevention is concerned, that's a great thing in regards to cancer risk, as it can help prevent cancer growth. But since that means new blood vessels are less likely to form or grow, can this be a bad thing too?

- I know antioxidants/anti-inflammatories are helpful, but I've read too many can have pro-oxidant effects. As far as I know, I'm not taking an excess of anything, and most of what I'm taking are whole-food based, with a few exceptions (and nothing without doctor approval). Is this something I need to worry about?

Thanks!

Thanks much for the reply! So basically, you don't think even though I take several supplements that are potentially antio-angiogenesis, it's something I need to worry about? Is there any way to know if I could be getting too much?

Thanks!
