For managing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), several supplements may potentially help reduce symptoms and improve overall health:

1. Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency is common in SLE patients, possibly due to sun avoidance. Supplementation can help improve serum levels, reduce inflammatory markers, and alleviate fatigue¹².
2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These supplements can reduce inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and improve lipid levels³⁴.
3. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): This antioxidant may help decrease oxidative stress in SLE patients⁵.
4. Turmeric: Contains curcumin, which may reduce proteinuria, hematuria, and systolic blood pressure in SLE patients⁶.
5. Vitamins C and E: These antioxidants contribute to reducing oxidative stress, which can be beneficial in managing SLE⁷.
