Digestive cancer and micronutrient deficiency problems

Digestive cancer surgery is likely to cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies

Deficiencies can lead to physical complaints, like fatigue, muscle loss, trouble concentrating, hair loss and many more.

Gikavi supplements are developed to help recover and avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies, following cancer surgery to the stomach, esophagus or pancreas.

Supplements can help you feel better by restoring the nutritional levels that are commonly affected after surgery
