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.
Study highlights vitamin E efficacy
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.

We explored the role of vitamin E in alleviating hot flashes among postmenopausal women, focusing on its potential effectiveness in managing this common symptom. The accumulated studies in our review cleverly grouped the findings into three areas: the physical changes related to menopause, the specific warm sensations known as hot flashes, and how vitamin E might interact with vascular health.
Our analysis included a thorough examination of 16 studies, which suggested that vitamin E does have an influence on hot flashes and other menopause-related symptoms. While we found that vitamin E may help ease some of the discomfort associated with menopause, it is essential to note that estrogen therapy generally shows more significant results.
Interestingly, vitamin E could provide a complementary approach for women who cannot use estrogen due to various contraindications. However, further research is needed to solidify these findings and enhance our understanding of how effective vitamin E may be as a standalone treatment.

Phytoestrogens show symptom reliefAspects Regarding the Value of the Treatment of Surgically Induced Menopause with Phytoestrogens - a Postmarketing Surveillance Study (PMSS).
Moderate relevance to vitamin E
We explored how a combination of phytoestrogens, vitamin E, and grapeseed extract can help alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes. This five-month study significantly observed improvements in various symptoms when the subjects followed the treatment protocol crafted from soy germ extracts.
Although we noted a decrease in discomfort such as irritability, anxiety, and hot flashes, it’s essential to point out that the impact of vitamin E alone remains unclear. The dramatic positive changes were particularly evident in premenopausal women.
Overall, the original formula—including vitamin E and phytoestrogens—seems to show promise in supporting women's health during premenopause and surgically induced menopause. As we reflect on the results, it becomes apparent that further investigation is needed to understand vitamin E’s standalone role in managing menopausal symptoms.

Vitamin E shows no significant effectThe effect of oral vitamin E and omega-3 alone and in combination on menopausal hot flushes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Combination therapy complicates results
We investigated how vitamin E impacts the frequency and intensity of hot flashes experienced by menopausal women. The research included a systematic review of multiple studies, focusing on vitamin E and its potential benefits when used alone or alongside omega-3 supplements.
After carefully analyzing data from ten different studies with a total of 1,100 participants, we discovered some interesting insights. Although combining vitamin E with omega-3 showed a significant reduction in the intensity of hot flashes compared to a placebo, vitamin E used alone did not result in notable improvements.
The frequency and intensity of hot flashes in the groups using omega-3 or vitamin E did not differ significantly from those taking a placebo. It's worth mentioning that no serious side effects were noted in any of the studies. However, given the limited number of randomized controlled trials, we believe more research with larger sample sizes is necessary to better understand the isolated effects of vitamin E on hot flashes.
