Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Vitamin E has been traditionally used as a supplement to support joint health and alleviate arthritis symptoms, particularly due to its antioxidant properties. Historically, the rationale was that oxidative stress contributes to inflammatory joint diseases like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and vitamin E, as a fat-soluble antioxidant, could counteract this effect. Early studies and anecdotal reports suggested that vitamin E supplementation might reduce pain and improve physical function in arthritis patients. However, when subjected to more rigorous scientific evaluation, the results have been largely inconclusive or have shown minimal benefit. Meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials have generally found that vitamin E supplementation does not lead to significant improvements in pain, stiffness, or joint function compared to placebo in people with arthritis. The evidence supporting its use is therefore weak, and major rheumatology guidelines do not recommend vitamin E as a stand-alone or adjunctive therapy for arthritis. While vitamin E remains popular in some complementary and alternative medicine circles, its use for arthritis is based more on tradition and theoretical antioxidant benefits than robust clinical evidence.
