I've read a lot about taking multi-vitamins (without vitamin E), Arnica Montana, and Bromelain pre and post-op. I normally take a multi-vitmain, vitamin C, calicium + vitamin D, magnesium, iron, and fish oil. I'm down to just my calcium and vitamin C to avoid vitamin E and other supplements that were on my list of "do not take 2 weeks prior to surgery."
Are Arnica Montana and Bromelain necessary or even safe? I'm worried they may trigger migraines (which I have a history of)or be unsafe.

An example of a deficiency that would benefit from supplements is iron deficiency anemia. In that case iron and folate would be helpful before and after surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Supplements before surgery I advise my patients to avoid herbal supplements, high-dose vitamins and other products that might increase the risk of bleeding, for at least two weeks before surgery. I don't prescribe arnica or other medications prior to surgery but this is common practice for some other surgeons. There is variable evidence about the effectiveness of these supplements.
