Vitamin E supplementation improves testosterone, glucose- and lipid-related metabolism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials

Abstract This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effect of vitamin E supplementation on testosterone, glucose, lipid profile, pregnancy rate, hirsutism, and body mass index (BMI) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A multi-database search was performed from inception to January 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting the effects of vitamin E supplementation with or without another nutritional supplement on women with PCOS.


Conclusion: Vitamin E supplementation improves glucose, lipid, and androgenic-related biomarkers in women with PCOS.

    Nice to know that something as simple as Vitamin E supplementation can exert a beneficial effect to the hormonal level of a patient with PCOS. I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the complete article, but I was wondering how much Vitamin E was necessary?
