Vitamin E reduces menstrual painA randomised controlled trial of vitamin E in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhoea.
We investigated whether vitamin E could help with primary dysmenorrhea, a common cause of pelvic pain for young women. In our study, 278 girls aged 15-17 took either vitamin E or a placebo before and during their menstrual periods.
Results showed that those taking vitamin E experienced significantly less pain and shorter pain duration compared to the placebo group. There was also a notable reduction in menstrual blood loss. This suggests that vitamin E may be a beneficial option for managing menstrual discomfort.

Vitamin E, often termed the "beauty vitamin", was prescribed by my gynaecologist due to my cycle irregularities—soreness and duration inconsistencies sometimes lasting 20 to 29 days. After taking it, I noticed my skin improved as dry areas cracked less, and it feels more elastic and hydrated. The most significant change was in my cycle; it stabilised to 28 days, ovulation occurred between the 13th and 15th day, and I experienced reduced premenstrual pain.
