Vitamin E reduces hot flashesCurcumin and vitamin E improve hot flashes, lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose without any detrimental effect on the liver and renal function in postmenopausal women: A triple-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial.
We conducted a study with eighty-four postmenopausal women to see how vitamin E affects hot flashes, among other health markers. The participants were divided into three groups and received either Vitamin E, Curcumin, or a placebo for eight weeks.
Our findings revealed that vitamin E significantly reduced the frequency of hot flashes by nearly one-third compared to those taking the placebo. This reduction was accompanied by improvements in several health indicators, including lower serum triglyceride levels and enhanced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Furthermore, vitamin E also showed positive effects on liver health markers. Overall, it appears that vitamin E is effective not only in alleviating hot flashes but also in improving some aspects of the lipid profile in postmenopausal women, without adverse effects on liver or kidney function.

I heard that it is effective for hot flashes and purchased it. I take 5 of 400mg and 2000mg a day. In the middle of the night, it suddenly became hot, waking me up twice with sweat on my head and neck, but it didn't heat up too much. During the day, I have no hot flashes and feel calm. Previously, I took Chinese herbal medicine for 3 months with no effect, but with Vitamin E, I saw improvements in less than a week.
