Vitamin E reduces hot flash severity and frequency significantly
The effect of vitamin E on hot flashes in menopausal women.
We tested whether vitamin E could help menopausal women experiencing hot flashes. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 51 women, participants first received placebo for 4 weeks, then vitamin E (400 IU daily) for another 4 weeks, with their hot flashes tracked throughout.
Vitamin E proved significantly more effective than placebo. Women taking vitamin E experienced a notable reduction in hot flash severity and how often they occurred each day. These improvements were statistically significant and suggest vitamin E may be a worthwhile option for women seeking non-hormonal relief from hot flashes.

I can't live without this, ladies! I ran out of vitamin E, which I take to lessen "power surges," AKA "hot flashes," and it truly helps! Nature Made Vitamin E is the only one for me—easy to swallow, and taste-free. If you're going through menopause, it's a must-have!
