We conducted a rigorous study to assess how vitamin E affects menopausal symptoms, especially hot flashes. In this triple-blind, randomized controlled trial with 93 postmenopausal women, participants were divided into groups receiving curcumin, vitamin E, or a placebo for eight weeks.
While both curcumin and vitamin E were found to significantly reduce hot flashes, they didn’t show any notable benefits for anxiety, sexual function, or other menopausal symptoms. This suggests that vitamin E may be helpful for hot flashes but not for a broader range of menopause-related challenges.

We examined the effects of vitamin E suppositories on vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women. In a clinical trial, 52 women were divided into two groups—one used vitamin E, while the other applied estrogen cream for 12 weeks.
We saw improvements in vaginal health measures in the vitamin E group, suggesting it could be a helpful option for those who prefer to avoid hormone therapy.
However, further research is essential to fully understand its effectiveness.

We explored the effectiveness of vitamin E vaginal suppositories compared to conjugated estrogen cream for alleviating genitourinary syndrome in postmenopausal women.
In a trial involving 52 women aged 40 to 65, participants used either treatment for 12 weeks, with follow-ups assessing their sexual function.
Both treatments showed improvement in sexual function, suggesting that vitamin E could offer a viable alternative for those hesitant about hormone therapy.

This study looked at how a combination of stable ozonides and vitamin E acetate, called Ozoile, helps relieve symptoms of genitourinary syndrome in menopausal women.
After 20 days of treatment, we observed a significant reduction in symptoms such as pain and dryness, with pain incidence decreasing from 16.7% to 11.8% and dryness dropping from 85.5% to 53.8%.
Although Ozoile demonstrated effectiveness in addressing these symptoms, more research is necessary to understand how it compares to other treatments for this condition.

We aimed to explore the effects of annatto tocotrienol, especially when paired with a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS), on bone loss in a rat model of postmenopause.
After conducting a comprehensive study, we found that the SEDDS formulation significantly boosted the levels of delta-tocotrienol and was effective in promoting bone strength and health.
While both SEDDS-formulated and unformulated tocotrienol improved bone structure, the SEDDS offered superior results in certain areas, such as trabecular microstructure.
Overall, this suggests a promising path for human trials to further investigate tocotrienol's impact on postmenopausal bone health.

We aimed to understand the effectiveness of the pollen extract Sérélys, combined with vitamin E, in reducing menopausal symptoms in women. In a multicenter study, 104 menopausal women took the extract for three months. Their symptoms were assessed, revealing significant reductions: hot flashes decreased by 48.5%, sleep disturbances by 50.1%, and depressive moods by 51.2%. Overall, the extract demonstrated a noticeable improvement in various alarming menopausal symptoms with minimal side effects, suggesting it could be a safe alternative for women seeking relief.

We examined the effects of tocopherol acetate, commonly known as vitamin E, on vaginal health for women navigating menopause. In our study, 50 women aged 50-70 were divided into menopausal and premenopausal groups and used specialized vaginal ovules for two weeks.
After treatment, we found that many distressing symptoms like dryness and pain during intercourse improved significantly. Additionally, the vaginal environment showed healthier changes, particularly in premenopausal women. Overall, tocopherol acetate may provide effective relief for those experiencing menopausal challenges.

Vitamin E aids menopause mood disorders
We aimed to understand how vitamin E affects mood disorders linked to menopause, particularly in ovariectomized mice. Through behavioral tests, we noticed that vitamin E, specifically α-tocopherol and tocotrienol-rich palm oil extract, reduced signs of anxiety and depression in these mice.
While both treatments helped regulate stress hormone levels, tocotrienol-rich extract showed more promise than α-tocopherol in responding to chronic stress. Ultimately, our findings highlight the potential of vitamin E as a supportive treatment for menopause-related mood challenges.

During menopause, my menstrual cycle became irregular, and I experienced prolonged bleeding. After increasing my vitamin E intake from 400 IU to 1200 IU daily, my menstruation returned every 2 to 3 months, and the bleeding stopped. This vitamin has become essential for restoring my hormonal balance.

I've entered menopause and noticed my menstrual blood volume increasing. Both my daughter and I began taking one vitamin E pill a day, and my weight decreased while my menstruation became more manageable. My daughter also reduced her reliance on painkillers for cramps. It's small, easy to swallow, and effective.

Essential for health

My husband and I have taken vitamin E for a long time. It’s a vital antioxidant that supports health, beauty, and fertility. Consumption should increase during menopause, and it's key for those over 40 or experiencing stress. It should be paired appropriately with other vitamins for best absorption.

We assessed how vitamin E supplementation impacts menopausal symptoms in women, as many seek alternatives to hormone therapy. Our review analyzed 16 studies, including a range of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal changes.
While vitamin E did show some beneficial effects, such as reducing hot flashes and improving vascular profiles, it was found to be less effective than estrogen. We noted that it could be a supportive option for those unable to use hormones. However, more rigorous research is needed before we make definitive conclusions.

We examined the effectiveness of vaginal vitamin E for treating genitourinary symptoms in postmenopausal women. Our systematic review analyzed four trials focused on patient-reported outcomes. While one small study indicated that 1 mg of vitamin E significantly reduced vaginal symptoms compared to placebo, other studies showed no clear advantage when compared with vaginal estrogen or other treatments. Overall, the findings hint at potential benefits, but more comprehensive studies are essential for reliable conclusions on efficacy and safety.
