There isn't specific information available about "Black Girl Vitamins" and lupus, but it's worth knowing that many supplements marketed to people with lupus haven't been well-studied for safety or effectiveness in managing the condition.
A MyLupusTeam member once asked their doctor about a lupus-specific supplement and was told it sounded like "an overpriced multivitamin." Another member agreed after trying it for two weeks! Here are some general things to keep in mind before trying any new supplement with lupus:
- The supplement industry isn't strictly regulated, so quality can vary
- Some supplements can interact with common lupus medications like immunosuppressants or hydroxychloroquine
- Some supplements (like chlorophyll) can increase photosensitivity, which is already a concern with lupus
- Always check with your rheumatologist before starting anything new
It's always best to run any new supplement by your doctor first to make sure it won't interfere with your current treatment plan.
