Vitamin E has been extensively studied in relation to its potential benefits in managing Hot flashes particularly in postmenopausal women. While there is some evidence to suggest that Vitamin E may provide relief for Hot flashes the findings from research studies have been mixed and inconclusive.
Several studies have shown a modest reduction in the frequency and severity of Hot flashes in women taking Vitamin E supplements. For instance, a randomized controlled trial published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2010 found that women who took 400 IU of Vitamin E daily experienced a significant decrease in the frequency of Hot flashes compared to those who received a placebo. Similarly, a meta-analysis published in the journal Menopause in 2012 concluded that Vitamin E supplementation was associated with a small but statistically significant reduction in hot flash frequency.
On the other hand, some studies have failed to demonstrate any benefits of Vitamin E in alleviating Hot flashes A systematic review published in the Journal of Women's Health in 2017 concluded that while limited evidence suggests potential benefits of Vitamin E, overall, the data is insufficient to establish a clear relationship between Vitamin E and hot flash relief.
