Article Synopsis
- Uterine myomas are common benign tumors in women; while many are asymptomatic, about a third require treatment that can include medication or surgery based on various factors.
- Recent studies suggest that a combination of vitamin D and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) could be effective in managing myomas.
- In a pilot study, women taking a daily supplement of vitamin D, EGCG, and vitamin B6 showed a significant reduction in myoma volume and improvement in quality of life compared to a control group, indicating this approach may be beneficial for treatment.
