Indication: Dysmenorrhoea

Source: British Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, April 2005;112(4):466-9.

Research: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 278 teenage girls to assess the effects of vitamin E on those with primary dysmenorrhoea. The girls, 15-17 years old, were given 200 units of vitamin E or placebo twice daily, beginning two days before the expected start of menstruation and continuing through the first three days of bleeding. Treatment continued over four consecutive menstrual periods. Researchers assessed the severity and duration of pain, and the amount of menstrual blood loss, at 2 and 4 months.

Results: In the vitamin E group, pain severity was lower with vitamin E at 2 months and 4 months, pain duration was shorter at 2 months and at 4 months, and blood loss was lower at 2 months and at 4 months. This led researchers to conclude that vitamin E may relieve the pain of primary dysmenorrhoea and reduce blood loss.
