Is it safe to take these herbs/supplements prior to Breast Augmentation?

September 1, 2014
Asked By:diishere in Australia, AU

Hi there, Is it safe to continue taking these supplements: Echinacea, Garlic, Olive leaf extract, zinc and vitamin C? I have my BA booked in 15 days and my PS isn't familiar with a few of them. If I need to stop taking them, when should I do so? As I am taking these supplements due to my sudden reduced immunity to everything going around this Winter here in Australia, can you recommend anything I can safely take until I have my BA to help boost my immunity? Thanks
