Can GABA Be Taken While Suffering From A Benign Meningioma?

Is it safe to take 5HTP or GABA when one has a benign meningioma on watch and wait? I am currently taking magnesium citrate, glutithione, omega 3 s, vitamin C, B complex, Tumeric, flax seed oil and CBD tincture, I do acupuncture and Qigong, gluten free and organic, mostly vegetarian and sugar free diet. The tumor has been stable a year. I teach all day and then too tired to lift weights like I used to. I have hearing loss in my left ear (where tumor is located), forget names and have sensitivity to sounds. I m wondering if these supplements would be useful or harmful to a brain tumor, or too much with all the other supplements. Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can take GABA and 5HTP while suffering from a menimgioma. GABA won’t worsen your disease status doesn’t cause any complications. The health supplements can also be taken with GABA, however they won’t help in curing the disease. You can do a yearly follow up to assess the progress of the illness and to check whether the size increasing or not. If the size is increasing, you have to consult your neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
