Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Vitamin E, which includes various tocopherols such as beta and delta forms, has some scientific basis for its use in supporting aspects of the female reproductive system, although the evidence is limited and not robust. Most research focuses on alpha-tocopherol, the most biologically active form, but beta and delta tocopherols are also antioxidants and may share some effects.

Several studies have explored Vitamin E’s role in female fertility, particularly its antioxidant properties that may protect reproductive tissues from oxidative stress. Some clinical trials report potential benefits of Vitamin E supplementation in women with unexplained infertility or those undergoing assisted reproductive technologies, such as improved endometrial thickness and possibly a higher rate of pregnancy. Vitamin E has also been investigated for alleviating symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea, with some modest positive effects reported, though the quality and consistency of evidence are not strong.

It is important to note that most research does not differentiate between tocopherol subtypes; thus, evidence specific to beta and delta tocopherols is sparse. Overall, while there is some scientific support for Vitamin E in female reproductive health—mainly attributed to its antioxidant function—the evidence is not conclusive or specific to all tocopherol forms, and further research is needed.
