We are not sure how the supplement that you have stated above can help patients with G6PD deficiency. In addition, G6PD disease often does not require the necessary medications or treatments of this disease. However, you can try to avoid eating anything that is related to fava beans. For your information, chemicals known as vicine and convicine, found within high concentration of fava beans can trigger acute hemolytic anemia episodes in G6PD-deficient people. Therefore, we recommend you to avoid this food to avoid any unwanted symptoms.
