Vitamin E

Vitamin E is involved in regulating a female hormone called prostaglandin and in some studies a 400IU daily supplement of vitamin E has been shown to help relieve breast tenderness.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in eight different forms. Each form has its own biological activity, which is the measure of potency or functional use in the body. Alpha-tocopherol (?-tocopherol) is the name of the most active form of vitamin E in humans. It is also a powerful biological antioxidant.

Antioxidants such as vitamin E act to protect your cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of energy metabolism. Free radicals can damage cells and may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Studies are underway to determine whether vitamin E, through its ability to limit production of free radicals, might help prevent or delay the development of those chronic diseases. Vitamin E has also been shown to play a role in immune function, in DNA repair, and other metabolic processes.

Does it work?

A double blind, placebo-controlled study examined whether vitamin E reduces symptoms of PMS. It confirmed earlier research reports and concluded that "all major categories of PMS symptoms are improved with supplementation of 400 IU of vitamin E daily."

Women with PMS don’t appear to be vitamin E deficient, therefore the effects of vitamin E on PMS appears to be the result of a pharmacologic action, rather than a consequence of restoring a deficient state to a normal one.¹

Double-blind research shows that 300 IU of vitamin E per day may decrease symptoms of PMS.²
