Skin cancer

Supplements studied for skin cancer.

Overview

Garlic (1 study) is the only supplement studied for skin cancer. A compound in garlic called ajoene was applied directly to skin tumors in a small study. Topical ajoene helped reduce tumor size in most patients, though more studies are required to confirm safety and effectiveness.

Evidence remains very preliminary. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below.
