Vitamin E reduces hot flashes
Curcumin 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.
Most Relevant Research
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.

Complete relief
Most Useful Review
Stopped my hot flashes. I've tried other products, but this and Carlson's Key-E suppositories (which contain Vitamin E) are what stopped my hot flashes. Occasionally, I feel a bit flushed if I forget to use either, but I haven’t had a serious episode in months. It may not work for everyone, but it is a relief for me.

Vitamin E's potential in leg cramps
Are there alternatives to the use of quinine to treat nocturnal leg cramps?
Most Relevant Research
We explored the potential role of vitamin E in treating leg cramps, particularly in populations such as those undergoing dialysis. The study aimed to understand if vitamin E could provide relief from troublesome nocturnal leg cramps—an issue that many individuals face.

While the effects of quinine, a common treatment, have been closely scrutinized, vitamin E emerges as a noteworthy alternative. Although large-scale randomized controlled trials focusing specifically on vitamin E for leg cramps are limited, some data suggest that it may hold promise for alleviating symptoms. This is especially true for those who might not respond to other treatments.

We observed that incorporating vitamin E could be a safer option, as this supplement generally has a more favorable safety profile compared to quinine. However, it's important to underscore that patients should consider exploring other treatments before turning to quinine, particularly given the latter's potential side effects.

Excellent Vitamin E! This supplement is a superb antioxidant. I take one capsule daily after breakfast to tackle cysts and support my breast cancer treatment.

Improved blood circulation
Most Useful Review
Recommended for those who wish to quickly replenish high levels of Vitamin E. This supplement features natural d-α tocopherol, which acts as a strong antioxidant. It includes mixed tocopherols, mitigating the risks associated with high doses of d-α tocopherol alone. Although the pills are larger than 400IU supplements, they are manageable with practice. I find it alleviates chronic shoulder stiffness and enhances blood circulation, which is helpful for my frozen shoulder.

Gamma-tocopherol in cancer research
Gamma-Tocopherol: A Comprehensive Review of Its Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Anticancer Properties.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the effects of gamma-tocopherol, a major form of vitamin E, on cancer treatment and prevention. This powerful antioxidant is noted for its ability to combat oxidative stress, which plays a significant role in the development and progression of various cancers.

In several studies, we observed that gamma-tocopherol not only neutralizes harmful reactive oxygen species but also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. These characteristics help reduce chronic inflammation tied to cancer risks. Furthermore, it has shown the potential to inhibit tumor growth, induce cancer cell death, and restrict blood vessel formation that tumors require to grow.

Specifically, findings indicated that gamma-tocopherol is particularly effective in cancers such as prostate, lung, and colon. With promising results from both preclinical and clinical trials, there is a growing interest in how this natural compound can be beneficial in cancer management.

While we noted excellent tolerance at normal doses, it’s essential to consider careful monitoring at higher levels to avoid any adverse effects. Hence, we believe that ongoing research and advancements in drug delivery methods could further enhance its effectiveness.

Antioxidant effect
Most Useful Review
It is a good supplement. The body tends to oxidise, leading to the unpleasant odour of ageing, but vitamin E provides an antioxidant effect. I recommend it for middle-aged individuals facing stress. Moreover, since cancer cells dislike antioxidants, this supplement could also assist in preventing cancer.
